  <title>Kathy Cruz: The Planner Launch That Hit from a “Crappy” Video Ad</title>
  <description>Kathy Cruz is the founder of Savvy Shopkeeper, where she helps brick-and-mortar retail owners grow with stronger systems, clearer decision-making, and real financial confidence. In this episode, Kathy shares what happened when she joined Get Paid Marketing and finally started running ads with a real plan — starting with a time-sensitive planner launch that became her best one yet. We talk about what made the ads work (even when the creative wasn’t perfect), why she’s willing to break even on a front-end offer, and how one product can quietly become the trust-builder that drives bigger conversions later. This Week on the Get Paid Podcast:   The simple ad test that helped Kathy make this her best planner launch yet   Why “perfect creative” isn’t the goal — and what mattered more   How she uses a planner as a trust-builder (not just a product)   The membership decision that makes her community feel safe   How her framework helps store owners stop making emotional decisions and start using real data   About Kathy Cruz: Kathy Cruz is the founder of Savvy Shopkeeper, where she supports independent brick-and-mortar retailers through practical strategy, coaching, and education.
