Gen Furukawa is the Co-Founder of Prehook.com -- helping Shopify merchants create amazing shopping experiences through quizzes and product recommendations.
Consumers want an experience, not a sales pitch.
The interactive quizzes give shoppers an engaging experience, and help merchants create personalized recommendations as they generate more leads, and a higher conversion rate.
Gen have 10+ years in digital marketing, from bootstrapped SaaS to venture-backed SaaS and ecommerce companies.
There have been successes--joining the founding team at Jungle Scout and leading the marketing to establish the company as the leader in the Amazon seller space.
And failures--a food delivery service that I Co-Founded out of business school. (Lesson learned: marketing, and the ability to create demand, is critical when profit margins are razor thin).
Prehook is the culmination of those experiences. Their mission is to allow every merchant to create a unique personalized experience for every shopper.
Gen also hosts the E-commerce Marketing Podcast cart overflow, where he shares what the best brand operators, agencies, and tech platforms are doing to grow their e-commerce revenues.
