Scaling an e-commerce brand isn't just about getting more sales—it's about increasing profits without driving up costs and complexity. Many brands hit a wall where growth starts feeling expensive, with ad costs rising and margins shrinking. The challenge is finding ways to optimize operations, build a loyal customer base, and create new revenue streams that don't rely solely on constant customer acquisition. The brands that break through find smarter, more sustainable ways to grow—focusing on retention, pricing strategy, and efficiency instead of just chasing more traffic. Jesse Kay is the founder and CEO of Vyber Media, a performance marketing agency that specializes in helping eight and nine-figure brands unlock scalable, high-margin digital growth. With over a decade of entrepreneurial experience, Jesse has also hosted a successful podcast where he interviewed renowned business leaders such as Jack Dorsey and Gary Vaynerchuk. Today, Jesse shares his expertise on the power of mastering the fundamentals of email, SMS, and automation in e-commerce marketing. Stay tuned!

Beiersdorf has put forward their earnings report for the fiscal year, presenting a reliable start with consistent initial results. As relayed on the earnings call, CEO Vincent Warnery communicated to investors about the significant role of their primary brands in the company's development. He said, "NIVEA and our Derma brands were the main driving forces here, both with double-digit growth figures in the first 3 months." This performance provides solid evidence of the brands' continuing appeal and sets a viable trajectory for the remainder of the year.During 2024, Beiersdorf has experienced steady growth. The Consumer Business segment showed a 10% expansion in the first quarter, which is an indication of the company's market position. Beiersdorf's overall sales growth of 7.3% further demonstrates its business solidity.NIVEA, Beiersdorf's primary brand, has experienced substantial global growth,  with a 12.6% increase in organic sales during the first quarter of 2024. In parallel, the Face Care and Sun segments have seen growth rates of 12% and 23%, respectively. Additionally, the Derma brands, Eucerin and Aquaphor, have manifested a growth of 10.2%. Beiersdorf's luxury line, La Prairie, has demonstrated a 14% increase within the Chinese market.Consumer trends reveal increased demand for skincare and beauty products. Even though the US market experienced a slow start in Q1, there are signs of potential recovery and an increase in market share for Beiersdorf. This consumer-focused approach has led to growth in the Chinese market for brands like NIVEA, Chantecaille, and La Prairie.Moving forward, Beiersdorf plans to implement initiatives and strategic investments to extend its market presence, as stated on the earnings call. NIVEA is expected to profit from the expansion of the LUMINOUS 630 ingredient across new product lines and markets. By late summer 2024, Beiersdorf plans to incorporate innovative epigenetic technologies within its Derma brands. Additionally, La Prairie plans to maintain its growth momentum into the second half of 2024 with new line extensions and a reinforced e-commerce strategy. The market presence of NIVEA and Eucerin is expected to be strengthened as part of a strategic capital allocation plan, which includes potential dividend increases and future share buybacks.The proactive steps taken by Beiersdorf in brand development and product innovation have provided the firm with a steady start to 2024, as acknowledged to investors on the earnings call. The combination of these business strategies with evolving consumer trends creates a practical way forward for the company. While the Q1 2024 performance shows promise, the outlook for the remainder of the year is guardedly optimistic based on Beiersdorf's own projections. This is a public episode.

Meg is an individual who uniquely blends engineering and design, having started her journey in engineering before pursuing art and design. This shift towards experience design has lasted throughout her career, and you'll hear how profoundly it has impacted her work.Evidation leverages health data from wearables and smartphones to impact healthcare decisions, setting the stage for objective, data-informed discussions between patients and doctors. With Data Privacy Day on the horizon (January 28th!), Meg emphasizes the importance of data transparency in crafting a delightful consumer-grade healthcare experience.Meg offers valuable insights throughout the conversation. She advocates how she and her team have found success in designing for the 'off moments', allowing their users to disengage when they need to and re-engage easily on their own terms. She also emphasizes the importance of allowing users to switch their focus, whether it's from activity level to sleep patterns. These strategies maintain long-term engagement.Meg also shares advice for listeners who aim to improve their own practices. Intensive user involvement, maintaining a beginner's mindset, and practicing patience forms the crux of successful design. Meg insists on going beyond the present app scope and envisioning the future experience based on deep qualitative research, ensuring that the product is tailored to meet both the obvious and unspoken needs of the users.—Guest BioMeg Dryer is the General Manager of Consumer at Evidation, where she is responsible for Evidation's presence in the market.

Meg has a BS in Interaction Design from Stanford University and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.—Guest Quote"If you are trying to force someone in your app or your experience to maintain that high level of engagement, they drop off. But if you craft an experience designed for the off moments, where it's okay for it to take a back seat for a while, people can re-engage when they're ready.

They discuss the ways in which Ally engages with their customers, from the first introductory communication, to why they build relationships before selling on products, to the hyper-personalized experiences they provide on their website and app. They also talk about the challenges to consumer marketing today, especially in the financial services space, how Ally collects and utilizes zero-party data, the importance of retaining your loyal customers, and why success is building relationships with the people around you.   Topics discussed: How Ally centers their marketing efforts on building relationships and trust through conversational communication, and why it's important to them to wait two months before trying to sell on a new product. The challenges to consumer marketing, especially in the financial services industry, when customer behavior and sentiments are changing daily. How the marketing team is structured, and how it sits traditional marketers alongside analysts and statisticians to have the "trifecta of what you would want for a good marketing strategy." Why Ally has retention rates in the high 90%, and why customers of multiple business lines have lower attrition, higher balance growth, and more engagement. The challenges to consumer marketing, including finding the right product for the right people, and the “conversational choreography” needed to make sure the right customer is getting the right message at the right time.
