By utilizing tools like Klaviyo, businesses can enhance their understanding of customer preferences through data collection methods such as surveys and interactive quizzes. These tactics not only improve engagement; they also provide vital information that helps personalize marketing efforts. Anna emphasizes that the key to successful loyalty initiatives lies in creating a genuine connection with customers, ensuring they feel valued and understood.As we wrapped up our conversation, it became clear that true customer loyalty is built on trust and engagement rather than discounts or promotions. Brands that prioritize understanding their customers will not only increase retention rates but will also see improvements in overall profitability.

In this episode of the Remarkable Retail podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis begin with a news segment covering recent market developments, notably the "tariff turmoil" between the US and China. They discuss how the US has partially de-escalated its stance, with tariffs dropping from a proposed 145% to 30%, creating a 90-day window for retailers to import products. However, they emphasize that smaller retailers remain disproportionately affected due to limited resources compared to giants like Home Depot.The hosts also cover recent retail earnings reports, including Walmart's strong comp store sales growth despite withdrawing Q2 guidance, and their strategic pricing approach to tariff impacts. Other earnings news included On Running's impressive 40% sales growth, while American Eagle, JC Penney, and Burberry reported significant losses. Additional news touched on refinancing challenges at Kohl's, potential bankruptcy concerns at Saks, and Dick's Sporting Goods' surprising acquisition of Foot Locker.The featured interview with Stephen Yalof, CEO and President of Tanger, explores his extensive career spanning retail real estate, including roles at New Plan Realty Trust, Gap, Ralph Lauren, and Simon before joining Tanger in 2020 – humorously noting he arrived when "every one of their 3,000 stores was closed" due to COVID.Yalof provides a fascinating historical perspective on outlet centers, explaining how they evolved from manufacturers' sales of returned items and factory seconds to a strategic retail channel. He details how the Tanger family themselves were shirt manufacturers who realized they were "selling more stuff out the back door than out the front door" before creating the first outlet center in Burlington, North Carolina.The conversation explores how vertical retailers like Gap transformed the model, creating consolidation stores for excess inventory before establishing dedicated outlet locations. This evolution progressed from pure excess inventory management to serving aspirational customers who understand brands but can't afford full price – what Yalof describes as bringing customers "into your ecosystem."In response to competition from online and fast-fashion retailers, Yalof explains Tanger's strategy shift from purely "power shopping" to full-service experiences with improved food, entertainment, and amenities. He compares this to how stadiums have evolved despite at-home viewing advances, stating, "We're the general merchandise managers of our shopping centers... it's about picking the right uses, right experiences, the right amenities."The interview concludes with insights into Tanger's digital engagement strategies, including how they leverage customer data to create targeted marketing campaigns and provide stackable discounts through retailer partnerships, guided by their vision of "using customer insight to inform the future of shopping."

Did you know? 60% of your Q4 sales will come from customers who engaged with you in the first half of the year. While that's a huge percentage, there is still a lot of opportunity for you to acquire new customers in Q3 that can turn into repeat customers during the holiday season.  But acquiring new customers isn't the only thing you'll want to focus on. You want to get those people onto your email list so you can continue to market them throughout the rest of the year.  What does that take? An intentional email list-building strategy.     _______ Links Mentioned Content Badassery: https://ecommercebadassery.com/content-badassery   _______ Get the Full Show Notes http://ecommercebadassery.com/329   _______   Let's Connect Website: http://ecommercebadassery.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/ecommercebadassery Membership: http://ecommercebadassery.com/membership   _______   Rate, Review, & Subscribe Like what you heard?

I sat down with Kris Dehnert, founder of Dugout Mugs and the man behind MLB's fastest-growing licensee. This conversation hits different. Kris shared his journey from getting fired from nearly every job to building a $30 million company selling mugs made from baseball bat barrels. What struck me most was his near-death experience with a ruptured appendix that completely transformed his mindset about business and life. His story of almost dying with a poison ball the size of a football inside him led to a complete shift—from chasing money to designing a lifestyle focused on family and experiences. Kris now lives unapologetically authentic, building deep relationships instead of shallow connections. We talked about the illusion of time and control, how failure is actually "entrepreneurial yoga," and why focusing on money actually creates money problems. This episode is packed with real talk about what actually matters when building a business and a life worth living.We Meet:Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Kris: http://Facebook.com/DugoutMugSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Kris: Over the last 14 years, I have found success in numerous verticals, including real estate, apparel, hard goods, affiliate marketing, strategic partnerships, etc... but my focus has really been rooted in eCommerce and social media where I have managed to surpass $60 million dollars in sales online. What makes my story a little more unique is that I did it on my terms. Sandals, shorts, backwards hats, and just being as genuine as I could be. I literally was FIRED from every (except one) job I ever had because I insisted on doing it my way... What I found is that I needed to create the "job" I wanted.

What will you leave behind when your entrepreneurial journey ends? It's a question few business owners ask themselves early enough—but one that can transform how you build, grow, and eventually transition your company.In this profound conversation with legacy planner Angelina Carleton, we explore the crucial distinction between simply building wealth and creating a meaningful, enduring legacy. Angelina shares how her observations of successful real estate entrepreneurs who lacked long-term planning led her to pioneer a specialized coaching practice helping leaders craft legacies that reflect their values and vision.The discussion delves into practical strategies entrepreneurs can implement today, regardless of where they are in their business journey. From adopting a "100-year plan" to identifying core values that guide decision-making, Angelina offers a roadmap for thinking beyond quarterly profits. She explains how legacy planning influences everything from business structure to succession planning, highlighting how legal instruments like trusts can protect what you've built while supporting your broader impact goals.Perhaps most valuable are the mindset shifts Angelina describes—moving from success to significance, from control to stewardship, and from outcome-focused to principle-driven leadership. Through examples of successful multi-generational family businesses worldwide, she demonstrates that lasting impact isn't reserved for the ultra-wealthy but is accessible to entrepreneurs at any level who approach their work with intention.Ready to start thinking about your legacy? Angelina concludes with three actionable steps anyone can take today: define your legacy vision (perhaps by writing your own obituary), document and live your values, and invest in your personal development. These foundational practices can transform not just your business's future but your understanding of entrepreneurial success itself.How to connect with Angela?Website: https://www.angelinacarleton.com/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJZrjhleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHb98js1oWtTnsDlMOWRSV0SlcJby_yAN3TYy2M9jYJPv0pv5DbJmhMW3dw_aem_cOxHCnNzPOBO6yM8Ep4tFQPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/design-your-legacy/id1562218846YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Your-LegacyFacebook: facebook.com/DesignUrLegacyLinkedin: linkedin.com/in/angelinacarletonTwitter: twitter.com/DesignUrLegacy Support the show

In this episode of the eCommerce Marketing Podcast, host Arlen Robinson speaks with Adam Callinan, founder of Pentain, about the importance of financial data in driving eCommerce profitability. Adam shares his journey from co-founding Bottlekeeper to creating Pentain, emphasizing the need for brands to leverage financial insights for better decision-making. They discuss the impact of pricing strategies, the dangers of discounting, and the significance of understanding ad budgets. Adam highlights common blind spots among brands and the future of intelligence tools in eCommerce, advocating for actionable data-driven strategies. Key Episode Takeaways: Financial data is often overlooked by eCommerce founders. Understanding fixed and variable expenses is crucial for profitability. Discounting can harm a business's bottom line if not managed properly. Ad budgets should be based on data, not guesswork. Every dollar saved on fixed expenses directly increases net profit. Brands often underprice their products without realizing it. Using math can clarify the impact of pricing changes. AI tools can enhance decision-making in eCommerce. The same financial principles apply across different industries. Actionable insights from data are essential for business growth.

Most sellers obsess over product features, but the best brands in the world aren't built on what they sell—they're built on who they connect with.   In this episode of Built By Business, I break down why your product isn't your brand—and how to leverage people, partnerships, and storytelling to create something that lasts.

Today, Elizabeth Greene and I dove into one of the most misunderstood topics in Amazon advertising — vCPM in Sponsored Brands campaigns. Mike still hears people say how great the low ACOS looks for vCPM, but we broke down why that can be misleading.We talked about the difference between CPC and vCPM, how attribution works (clicks vs views), and how ACOS is calculated depending on what data source you're looking at — ad console, bulk files, API, or AMC. We also discussed when vCPM actually makes sense and when it doesn't. Spoiler ⚠️: don't use it for brand defense.We walked through how vCPM can become cheaper than CPC if your CTR is high enough, the creative and retargeting advantages it can offer, and why Mike sees less than 5% of ad budgets going to vCPM even in his best accounts.If you've ever been confused about why you can't switch from vCPM to CPC, or how to measure true performance in SB campaigns  this episode is for you.We'll see you in The PPC Den!

In this exclusive episode of The Voice of Retail podcast, host Michael LeBlanc interviews Karl Haller, Partner at IBM Consulting and leader of their retail and consumer products center of competency, ahead of his highly anticipated keynote presentation at Retail Council of Canada's STORE2025 conference on June 3rd.With nearly 30 years of retail experience at brands including Brooks Brothers, Tommy Hilfiger, and Karl Lagerfeld, Haller brings unique insights at the intersection of retail business and technology to one of Canada's premier retail events.Haller, who will take the main stage following fellow keynote speaker Ira Kalish, positions AI as "the biggest transformation that any of us have seen in our careers," comparing its significance to the advent of computing in the 1970s. While acknowledging the hype surrounding AI, he maintains that we're in the early stages of a fundamental shift in how retail operates—a message he'll expand upon at the STORE2025 conference.When discussing strategy during uncertain times, Haller advises retailers to focus on action rather than extensive planning: "If you've got a million dollars to spend, spend a million dollars on 100 MVPs. Don't spend a million dollars on an AI strategy project because it's going to be out of date by the time you've done it." He recommends scenario planning with clear indicators that can guide decision-making in unpredictable environments.Looking at retail formats, Haller notes that success isn't determined by format alone but by how retailers innovate within their sector. He highlights Walmart's nimble approach to technology implementation, PepsiCo's management of their extensive logistics network, and innovative approaches from companies like Unilever and Kroger.The conversation culminates with Haller identifying four under-appreciated retail technology trends:Expanding AI beyond words, pictures, and code to work with numerical data like SKU forecasting, potentially reducing forecast error rates to low single digitsIntegrating AI with other technologies like computer vision, IoT devices, robotics, biometrics, electronic shelf labels, and retail mediaDeveloping an "operating system for AI" to manage the projected billion new applications by 2028Most critically, bringing people along on the technology journey through comprehensive training and continuous learningAttendees of STORE2025 can expect Haller to dive deeper into these insights during his keynote presentation, providing retail leaders with actionable strategies for navigating technological transformation while balancing innovation with practical implementatio Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur. He has been on the front lines of retail industry change for his entire career.

It's frustrating when a product that once flew off the shelves suddenly seems to stall. As an Amazon seller, it's easy to feel like the marketplace is working against you, but often, the problem lies in missing opportunities to tweak and optimize. Competitors are constantly evolving, and understanding their strategies while diving deep into buyer behavior can reveal hidden gaps. Sometimes, it's not about the product itself, but how you fine-tune everything behind the scenes that can turn things around. Colin Raja is an e-commerce expert and growth strategist with a background in software development and data engineering. He's built multiple seven-figure Amazon brands, specializing in using data to drive business growth. Today, Colin shares his data-driven approach to Amazon product launches, explaining how he helped a brand scale from $50,000 to $500,000 in monthly sales. His strategies focus on optimizing both front-end and back-end processes, understanding buyer psychology, and conducting detailed competitive analysis. Stay tuned!

SummaryIn this episode of The E-commerce Content Creation Podcast, Daniel Jester and creative director/photo manager turned creative ops consultant Kelly Garthwait dive into a candid, exploratory conversation about authenticity in visual storytelling and the tensions introduced by AI and automation in creative roles. Their dialogue weaves through the influence of social media on brand identity, the importance of consistency in e-commerce visuals, the enduring value of printed photography, and how storytelling creates meaningful connections between brands and audiences.Key TakeawaysAuthenticity is more than aesthetics – it's about coherence, trust, and meaningful storytelling.Consumers can feel when something is off, even if they can't articulate it.A brand's inconsistent tone across platforms (e.g., social media vs. streaming ads) can erode trust and feel “two-timing.”Consistent product photography builds customer trust and reduces friction in the shopping experience.Even subtle mismatches in lighting, angles, or image quality can raise subconscious red flags.Daniel shared HauteLook's strategy of using coordinated color themes to maintain daily visual cohesion.AI can accelerate execution but cannot replace taste or vision.The most successful creative applications of AI come from teams who understand what good looks like and guide the tools accordingly.There's value in observing trends before overcommitting to tools with fleeting hype cycles.Storytelling provides the essential context that transforms content into connection.Visual narratives, recurring motifs, and Easter eggs (like Daniel's Signs of the Zodiac series) offer richer engagement.In-person experiences with printed photography or museum exhibits deepen emotional resonance far beyond screen-based consumption.There's a growing need to reinvest in creative direction as a function that ensures cohesion, especially in content-heavy environments.Creative leadership helps bridge the gap between fast execution (often with AI) and meaningful brand expression.Physical prints offer an emotional and sensory connection that screens can't replicate.Both Kelly and Daniel emphasized the power of printed art to evoke memory, emotion, and a sense of home.Tools like Zapier and automated workflows can relieve friction in production processes.The goal is not to remove creative roles, but to enable them by reducing logistical bottlenecks (like asset review and approvals).CreditsHosted by: Daniel Jester - danieltjester.com
