Starting with an apology? Bold move, Gopuff. 🤨

2/ How to steal this idea:
It's all about that bait and switch.
Kick off with a personal touch — make it feel familiar, like a message from a friend.
Follow it up swiftly with your true motive: that juicy offer.
A touch of authenticity in your tone can make an ad feel less... ad-like. Plus, everyone loves being in on a secret. 🕵️‍♂️🔥
