Welcome, Fashion Besties! It's officially the most fabulous time of the year, and this week, we're serving you the ultimate holiday and winter trend guide for 2024.   Whether you're planning your holiday outfits, updating your winter wardrobe, or simply avoiding seasonal fashion pitfalls, this episode is your stylish survival kit.   Host Holly Katz dives into the must-haves of the season, the brands and boutiques to know, and—of course—identifies the most egregious winter fashion crimes to help you stay ahead of the curve.   Trust and believe, this episode will make you the best dressed at every event and sleigh all day, (and all winter long!) #DUH (link)   HOT TIP: Head on over to Holly's Pinterest board for this episode and see all products discussed in the flesh for your shopping pleasure.     Key Talking Points   1. Sweater Weather Must-Haves #nonnegosh Holly shares her love for cozy yet chic sweaters from brands like Toccin and Favorite Daughter, highlighting timeless pieces like cashmere pullovers and chunky knits. You can't go wrong buying one for you and one for someone else. #TRUTH   She also adores Lingua Franca's custom embroidered sweaters with phrases like “Aprés All Day.” These pieces are not just warm—they're wardrobe investments that elevate your winter style and are hot-ticket gift items for past seasons that are still going strong.      2. Boot Trends That Work for Every Occasion Winter boots are a wardrobe staple that will never die. Classic riding boots, cowboy boots (short or mid-calf styles), and heeled boots in fun colors like burgundy or navy are here to stay. Get on the boot train; it won't let you down.   Brands like Dolce Vita, Freebird, and Nordstrom's curated collections take center stage. Think you can get by without these winter essentials? Fashion. Crime. #weloveboots 3. Hot Blazers & Chic Outerwear The blazer game is strong this winter as it's been in past seasons, with leather and cropped styles leading the charge. Holly calls out Princess Polly for affordable faux leather options and highlights a chic tweed blazer from Anine Bing.   She also warns against oversized, long shapeless jackets that add unnecessary bulk—a fashion crime we can all avoid with the right alterations.   4. Holiday Party Dresses Sparkly “festive tops”? No, ma'am. Show-stopping dresses from boutiques like Reformation, Saks, and Alice & Olivia? Yes ma'am.   Off-the-shoulder A-line dresses, pleated full skirts, and leather midi dresses are some of our top picks for the festive season. Let us help you get out of your comfort zone. Pair them with statement earrings and an evening clutch for full-on glam. Worried about a shoe? You can't go wrong with a metallic. They go with everything.    5. Accessory Alert: Bags and Belts These three main bags should be in your closet...and your life: a boss tote, an everyday handbag, and a metallic or fun-colored evening clutch. #DOIT   She also insists on having at least two belts—one skinny and one wide—to instantly upgrade any outfit. Black and brown are the basics. Extra credit for white or a fun color.   6.​ Tops That Elevate Your Wardrobe Versatile, high-quality tops that can effortlessly transition from casual to dressy will never let you down. Don't compromise color or price for fit. You get what you pay for.    Everlane and Hampden Clothing are great options for stylish blouses with clean lines and unique fabrics. Start small and figure out what looks best for your body type.    Suggestions include but are not limited to: silk or silk-blend tops, billowy sleeves, and cap-sleeve blouses that layer beautifully under jackets or sweaters. It's a must for a cohesive wardrobe whether you're working from home or not.     Fashion Crimes to Avoid   • Using a cheap, distorted mirror as your “style guide.” Invest in a proper full-length mirror with adequate lighting!   • Opting for boring, too-long, oversized blazers that you think hide your figure. Get them altered to emphasize your waist.    • Settling for predictable “festive tops” and clothing that you feel you can only wear once a year at holiday parties. Opt for a fab dress and don't be afraid to be the best dressed person in the room. Also? Sequins during the day with jeans? Yes, please!     Wrap-Up   HOT TIP: Head on over to Holly's Pinterest board for this episode and see all products discussed in the flesh for your shopping pleasure.   Thank you so much for joining us in this stylish celebration of the season while addressing the pitfalls that can sneak into your winter wardrobe. (Link)   Whether it's elevating your look with luxe layers or accessorizing with intention, Holly is here to ensure you avoid fashion crimes before they happen.     Don't forget: fashion and style are your friends, not your enemies!   Happiest of holidays to you, and let us know what you want to hear. Please engage with us on socials and don't forget to DM us to get a shout-out on the next episode. Send us pics of your holiday party looks so we can tell you how gorg you are.  The Best Fashion Friend You Never Knew You Needed! We're here for ya.  Hosted by Holly Katz.

On this episode of Money Grows on Trees: The Podcast, host Lloyd Ross welcomes guest Simon Beard, a successful entrepreneur with a fascinating journey to share. Simon begins by recounting how a business assignment in grade ten ignited his passion for entrepreneurship. Inspired by his neighbor, Big Kev, Simon set a goal in year ten to become an entrepreneur and never work a regular job. After finishing school, Simon ventured into selling electronic items from China at markets. However, he initially faced zero sales due to a lack of active selling and customer connection. Realizing the need to learn sales techniques and connect with customers, Simon followed a pattern of buying products, putting himself in a corner, and then learning how to effectively sell them. Simon's journey took an exciting turn when he invested in a public company and listed it on the share market. He also acquired brands like Princess Polly, experiencing both initial setbacks in the share price and eventual rises. His constant checking of the share price and calculations of his potential worth, which he believed could exceed 500 million, highlights the rollercoaster ride of his entrepreneurial journey. During the COVID pandemic, Simon built an online business and discovered the importance of physical interaction in building a culture. He mentions an upcoming event and encourages listeners to attend. When asked for his number one piece of advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, Simon emphasizes the significance of building an audience as a valuable asset. He discusses the importance of personal branding, sharing valuable content on platforms like Instagram to establish goodwill and equity. Simon also emphasizes that having a large audience is a powerful asset, regardless of actively monetizing it. He expresses a desire to support others who have implemented his teachings and built successful businesses. Mentorship and personal development are crucial to Simon, who emphasizes the significance of having the right people around and taking action on knowledge gained from books and courses. Simon shares his experience of working with Jordan Belfort, highlighting the importance of mentorship and the need to take action, not just read books. He mentions using the tool Chat GBT to test his understanding of concepts from books through multiple-choice questions. An impactful encounter with Peter Hedge helped Simon overcome his ego barrier and make sound business decisions, leading to a significant deal valued at 600 million. Simon reflects on the challenges of adapting to the public company environment and his desire to step back from day-to-day operations to become an investor. He believes that AI, specifically Chat GPT, will revolutionize everything and wants to adopt a hands-on approach to learning about it. Simon also shares an anecdote about a missed opportunity involving a waterproof camera case, ultimately leading to the introduction of GoPro founder Nick Woodman. Throughout the episode, Simon's enthusiasm for entrepreneurship, mentorship, and continuous learning shines through. Listeners are encouraged to take action, build their personal brands, and leverage their audience as valuable assets. The episode concludes with Simon's excitement and curiosity about the potential of AI and his dedication to staying hands-on in his entrepreneurial journey. Money Grows on Trees Team

Aaron Schwartz and Joe Lynch discuss ecommerce's dirty little secret. Aaron is the President of Loop, a post-purchase platform that enables brands to transform returns into exchanges. About Aaron Schwartz Aaron Schwartz is the President of Loop with an extensive history working, advising, and investing in startups. With 10+ years in modern Commerce, Aaron's focus tends to be on all things go to market, fundraising, strategy, and helping founders navigate emotionally through the early stages of company building. As a 3x founder himself, Aaron's passion for Commerce has led him to his position at Loop today. Aaron received his undergraduate degree from Columbia University, and his masters from the University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business. He joined Loop in April of 2021. About Loop Loop is a post-purchase platform that enables Shopify's biggest brands, such as Allbirds, FIGS, Princess Polly and Chubbies, to transform returns into exchanges. Based in Columbus, Ohio, the company helps over 1,200 brands increase customer loyalty, retain more revenue, and lower reverse logistics costs. Through innovative features like Instant Exchanges, Shop Now, and Bonus Credit, Loop has helped merchants retain more than $400 million in revenue over the past five years. Key Takeaways: Ecommerce's Dirty Little Secret Aaron Schwartz is the President of Loop, a post-purchase platform that enables brands to transform returns into exchanges. In the podcast interview, Joe and Aaron discuss ecommerce's dirty little secret, which is returns. Ecommerce buyers return up to 30% of online purchases – the number varies greatly by product and company, but it is a problem for everyone. Loop specializes in returns and they have made a science of it. Loop's goal is to change returns into exchanges. Loop manages the pixels, not the parcels meaning they are a technology company and they utilize the 3PL specified by the brand. Most brands focus on sales, marketing, and fulfillment and the returns process and costs are overlooked. Loop's platform completely integrates with their customer's systems, which enables Loop to manage the return process. Loop's technology integration and seamless handling of the return process has the following advantages: Enables brands to focus on growing their business. Loop's online return process is a nice experience for consumers and they are often convinced to exchange the product rather than ask for a return. When a return is transformed into an exchange, customer satisfaction rises, and the brand makes more money.

With an impressive background in e-commerce roles at Macy's, eBay and Walmart, Jill Ramsey became the CEO of AKA Brands in 2020. Founded in 2018, AKA Brands is a global platform that aids in supporting and scaling brands while enhancing their profitability through an asset-light operating model. AKA Brands currently has five distinct portfolio brands: Princess Polly, Culture Kings, Petal and Pup, Mnml and Rebdolls. "We invest in digitally native direct-to-consumer fashion brands and accelerate their growth through the synergies harnessed as a group," Ramsey said on the latest episode of the Glossy Podcast. The company IPO'd in September 2021, raising $110 million, which "was a big opportunity to share our story with the world," she said. "There's a generation of young brands born on social media and are good at [producing] front-end content. They know how to create inspirational content that resonates with their end customer and spot the right fashion to connect with their audience. On their own, these young brands can struggle to scale, which is where AKA comes in. We support them in scaling and networking with the other brands," said Ramsey. Glossy spoke to Ramsey about AKA Brands' unique business model, including its strategic acquisitions and digital-focused strategies, and the challenges and changes the company has experienced throughout the pandemic.

#78 Roshelle from Yotpo Talks Engagement - The New Way to Improve Customer Lifetime Value Is your brand-customer communication a bit lackluster? Are you struggling to build a close relationship with your customers? This episode is all about customer retention: establishing, building, and maintaining trust. Roshelle Savdie is the Associate Product Marketing Manager of Yotpo, an e-commerce marketing platform that offers a full suite of solutions for customer reviews, visual marketing, loyalty, referrals, and SMS marketing. Following a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's in Economics, Roshelle sought a role in the study of human behavior. She found her calling at Yotpo. As a specialist in loyalty and referrals, Roshelle knows what customers care about. Tune in to hear Roshelle and our podcast host and CEO Daniel Budai discuss:✔️ Zero-Party Data: What is it and why is it important? ✔️ Why do e-commerce brands need engagement-based programs? ✔️ How to create a VIP program ✔️ Roshelle's advice for Q4 ✔️ Roshelle's marketing idols Zero-Party Data: What is it and why is it important? Zero-party data (otherwise known as permission-based marketing) refers to data that customers voluntarily give brands about themselves. It's not information that brands can acquire from different sources. Roshelle identifies two advantages to using zero-party data: Brands don't have to guess Collecting data directly from the source means that targeted marketing does not have to be based on assumptions or guesses. This allows brands to better communicate with their customers and personalize their shopping journey. 2. Develops trust in your brand No one likes it when their data is collected and used without their explicit permission. Being clear about data collection and opting for zero-party data is great for building trust. “You may ask yourself, ‘Why do they give this information so freely?' It's because they want to be part of your brand, and they trust your brand.” Zero-party data reject invasive marketing tactics and instead focuses on creating a better experience for the customer. Why do e-commerce brands need engagement-based programs? Engagement-based programs are evolving. Roshelle stresses that engagement-based programs differ from rewards-based programs in that they're not transactional. Instead, engagement-based programs focus on relationships. It's not enough to give away discount codes once in a while. Customers want experiences that make them feel part of the brand. Gen Z consumers in particular engage with emotional rewards. Princess Polly, one of Yotpo's clients created a VIP tier system. If a customer is in a certain tier and buys a certain amount, they're featured in Princess Polly's social media. Another reward included exclusive access to a VIP Facebook group, encouraging customers to buy further into the brand. Their best reward so far was backstage tickets to a music festival. Roshelle recalls another brand that gives customers in their highest VIP tier early access to products and sales. This is great for building that brand-customer bond and providing an exclusivity incentive. How to create a VIP program So when should e-commerce owners begin setting up VIP tiers? Roshelle says “early on”, even if they're not going to implement it right away. VIP tiers and loyalty programs require a lot of strategic planning. Consider: What do your incentives mean to your customers? What does it mean for your brand to give away these incentives? Do your incentives make financial sense? How are you going to make sure that your customers feel valued? How are your incentives going to develop an emotional customer-brand connection? VIP tiers are fantastic for increasing engagement, brand community, and customer lifetime value (CTV). Therefore: “It's never too early to have VIP tiers. They power your business much faster than if you don't have them.” Roshelle's advice for Q4 Roshelle's number one piece of advice is: Build a strategy for Q1. You're going to acquire lots of new customers during Q4, that's great. Now you need to focus on retention. Roshelle's marketing idols In two words: authentic marketers. “I really admire anyone who is on top of all the new trends, people, technology, but are keeping the essence of their brand and who they are. Anyone who has figured that out has all my respect. It's really, really hard.” Follow Roshelle on LinkedIn and visit Yotpo.comfor more advice on increasing customer lifetime value and taking your brand to the next level.

Superseding Customer Relationships "Relationship supersedes brand" is a phrase that we've often said on the podcast, but Phillip is calling this into question.A transaction doesn't have to be an exchange of goods or monetary. It can be influence, it can be power dynamics, it's identity exchange.“What often is overlooked is the employee experience in delivering service and support. It's never been more important than it is today.” -PhillipGetting customer service right during post purchase is important and solidifies loyalty, but prepurchase is just as important. “The role of a customer support agent is morphing into something else: a brand ambassador. Someone that has to be on brand, someone that has to represent the brand well as they interact with the customer.” -BrianBrands are changing their view of what brand ambassadors can be. “We're all consuming more and we're all participating in commerce more because commerce touches everything.” -Phillip “The whole focus we have at Gorgias is let's automate. Let's focus on self-serve so that we can transfer all of the human time towards those valuable conversations.” -RomainAssociated Links:Learn more about Romain Lapeyre and GorgiasJoin the Gorgias community on Facebook!Brands mentioned: Princess Polly, Ilia BeautyListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceCheck out our latest report Nine by NineSubscribe to InsidersHave any questions or comments about the show?
