If you don't own your audience data, it will become progressively harder to market effectively in the future. This starts with building your email lists and communities.

On today's episode, Kunle is joined by Mikey Moran, Founder and CEO of Private Label Extensions, a hair extension, and technology company helping entrepreneurs launch and manage their brands.We all know how eCommerce has grown in leaps and bounds over the past year. With this growth we hear of more and more brick-and-mortar stores shutting shop. But that is not the case in all industries. Competing with DTC brands based in China is tough for any brand (new or old). But there is a very counterintuitive way to get a leg up on the competition, and it's not something you'd expect. Creating an offline presence (yes, offline!) can actually accelerate growth and help you bag more customers.In this episode, Kunle and Mikey talk about how to effectively leverage offline presence to grow your business. You will get to hear about how showrooms can be a differentiator, importance of seeding, target AOVs, packaging hacks and much more. This is a great episode for entrepreneurs and marketers in the beauty industry.-----------SPONSORS:This episode is brought to you by:Klaviyo This episode is brought to you by Klaviyo – a growth marketing platform that powers over 25,000 online businesses.

Fast is a San Francisco based privately held company funded by Stripe, Addition, Index Ventures, Susa Ventures and Sugar Capital.More and more shoppers now prefer buying things online rather than in stores. But that being said, most of these shoppers would also tell you that the checkout process in stores is still way better. Why? Because you don't fill any form, you just tap your credit card or phone and off you go. Now we are even seeing innovations like Amazon Go, where you don't even need to tap.But online checkouts are still another story altogether. Most businesses try out new and optimised forms to simplify checkout, yet don't really see the results. There are many “1-click” checkout solutions out there. But they all require (a lot) more than 1 click to checkout. This is where companies like Fast are coming in and disrupting the checkout landscape.In this episode, Kunle and Domm talk about what it takes to create a truly 1-click checkout experience. You will get to hear about how Fast solves the checkout puzzle with an identity-first approach.

On today's episode, Kunle is joined by Lisa Popovici, Co-Founder at Cartloop - a done-for-you SMS marketing platform that helps Shopify brands build better customer relationships through 1:1 conversational messaging.Abandoned cart recovery is a crucial element of every eCommerce brand's marketing strategy. It's usually just one question or doubt in the shopper's mind that prevents them from completing their purchase. The quicker and more personalised the follow up, the higher are the chances of converting the customer. It is one of those elements that have a very direct impact on the bottom line.Most brands use auto-responder emails with prebuilt messages as a follow up tool to solve this problem. Since they're mostly over email, the element of spontaneity is lost. And these messages can only be personalised to a certain extent. Platforms like Cartloop use conversational marketing to solve this problem.In this episode, Kunle and Lisa talk all about leveraging SMS as a conversational marketing tool. You will get to hear about why SMS is most effective at abandoned cart recovery and how Cartloop's hybrid AI-Human model solves problems for businesses.

Jason is a seasoned expert at all things eCommerce and has recently  launched a comprehensive eCommerce masterclass “Building Blocks for Success”.Jason advocates a First Principles approach to mastering ecommerce, he does this by reverse-engineering complicated problems and unleashing creative possibilities. His “first principles reasoning” breaks down complicated problems into basic blocks and then reassembles them from the ground up. It's one of the best ways to learn to think for yourself, unlock your creative potential, and move from linear to non-linear results. The first principles approach to reasoning is strongly endorsed by Tesla's Elon Musk, Charlie Munger and the philosopher Aristotle. Jason used this approach to develop what I think is the most comprehensive ecommerce education program available right now. The pandemic has completely shifted the eCommerce industry. For every brand that grew exponentially, there were many that shut shop. Even large and established brands had to reimagine their way of doing business. But let's take a moment to think about the entrepreneur just getting started in the industry. It will be both exciting and daunting. Getting the right guidance at the right time can prevent many expensive lessons. It is with this goal in mind that our guest today has put together a comprehensive resource to help entrepreneurs not only build their business, but also create a brand.In this episode, Kunle and Jason pick up from where they left off in Jason's previous appearance last year.

The average online shopper has experienced dozens (if not more) eCom stores. This has only made shoppers more savvy and sensitive to the differences in user experience (UX) across different stores. We already have a ton of studies showing that conversion rate and average order value tend to be in direct correlation to UX.While tools like Google analytics and Hotjar help you track usage and dropoffs, they don't really give the full picture. The data could very well point out that there's a problem with the UX, but what that problem is, stays hidden. A breakdown in UX could very well break your store. This is where User Testing comes in. Traditionally, access to User Testing has been restricted to big businesses. But all that is changing now.In this episode, Kunle and Quinn talk about boosting UX and conversions through User Testing.

She is a California-based design professional with over 15 years of industry experience. On this show we often highlight how the marketing tech and landscape is always changing and evolving. The same can be said for the actual content and creatives used in marketing. The pace of “the scroll” is getting even faster and our attention spans even shorter. Now the onus is on getting your message across in an instant or risk getting lost in the feed.Another striking pattern emerging in social media marketing is replicating popular trends from one platform across all the others. The popularity of TikTok has sparked the transition to short form video content. We have also seen the rise of user-generated content (UGC). This means that marketers now have to create a compelling message in 15 seconds or less, and even have users generate the content for them. Welcome to the Brave New World of Ad Creatives.In this episode, Kunle and Lauren talk about what it takes to build creatives that convert.

On today's episode, Kunle is joined by Dan McGaw, Founder and CEO of McGaw.io, an analytics and marketing technology consultancy. Dan is considered one of the original growth hackers, having led teams at Kissmetrics.com, CodeSchool.com, UTM.io and more.We are currently living in a “gold rush” period of Martech. There are new tools popping up almost everyday. Many of these are great standalone tools, and almost all of them are super cool. It's no surprise that many marketers fall for the shiny object syndrome. We buy tools without fully understanding how best to use them and more importantly, how to make them work with other tools we use. Sound familiar?What we're left with is a bunch of systems that don't talk to each other. The result? We miss out on the golden nuggets that unified data can provide. That being said, just being deliberate about the tools we use is not enough. The ever shifting marketing landscape must also be accounted for. Stricter privacy laws, and the shift to 1st party data are going to have a massive impact on how you market. This is where expects like Dan come into the picture.In this episode, Kunle and Dan talk about building a future-ready Martech Stack that utilises 1st party data. You will get to hear about why everything is moving towards 1st party data, how you can do it and which tools work best.

He is also founder and former CEO of Elefant Inc., now a part of Exos Financial, which leverages AI-powered pricing to build smarter marketplaces.Businesses are often obsessed with collecting data points for visitors and users. This would be to build out email lists, sms lists and even social media audiences. More often than not, this type of data only comes through increased marketing spends. However, there is one source we can tap where users readily share their details - our customers.All too often businesses either don’t collect the right data or simply don’t leverage the data they have to segment customers. We know all about segmenting audiences so as to send the right marketing campaign at the right time. But what if you can segment your customers and offer a personalised price basis on the value of those relationships? This would take your customer loyalty program to the next level.In this episode, Kunle and Cactus talk about leveraging data and price as tools to maximise customer loyalty. You will get to hear about the difference between dynamic and personalised pricing, how you can segment and reward loyal customers.

On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Sean De Clercq, CEO at KickFurther, a 7-year-old platform helping DTC and eCommerce brands raise inventory finance through crowdfunding.Managing inventory levels is a perpetual puzzle for businesses dealing in physical products. Have too much and the costs eat into your profits. Too little and you risk being sold out and losing orders to the competition. Solving this problem through timely funding allows businesses to reap the benefits of placing bulk orders, being in control of their inventory, and ultimately boosting profits.Kickfurther has innovated the way businesses can raise this crucial working capital, and it is through crowdfunding. Investors on their platform can fund inventory that will eventually be sold to someone else, and earn a commission along the way. This model offers a different and often quicker way for businesses to fund working capital.In this episode, Kunle and Sean talk about using crowdfunding to fund your inventory. You will get to hear about the challenges businesses face with Cash Flow and Conversion cycles, and how crowdfunding could be a great way to raise working capital.

They set prices based on competitor research and plain old gut feel. This might work at times but more often than not, you’ll be leaving money on the table.This is not just applicable to product pricing, but also to your discount and bundling strategy. Which product to discount, how much to discount and when to offer that discount could make or break your profits. This is where data driven optimisation comes in.In this episode, Kunle and Brecker talk about leveraging economic principles and data to optimise your pricing strategies.

On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Trevor Crotts, Founder of Buddy Brands. Trevor is a serial entrepreneur who started out with pet products and is now a major proponent of using 3d models and mixed reality in eCommerce. With limited or no access to brick-and-mortar stores during the pandemic, almost all types of products have now moved online. So now we have more people buying products they’ve never seen in person. This has taken the importance of product images and descriptions to another level. Customers want what they see while ordering. Otherwise you get (lots of) returns and loss of credibility. On the flipside, it is already well established that great product images help with conversion. But if you can provide customers with a 360-degree view of the product, you are really getting a leg up on the competition. You are effectively allowing the customers to touch and turn over the product in their hands - all from the safety of their home. The result? User experience and Conversion rate skyrocket. You are looking at an average jump of 30% in conversion rate!  In this episode, Kunle and Trevor talk about using 3d models and mixed reality in eCommerce. You will get to hear about triggering sales with emotions, using 3d models and mixed reality on product pages, and best practices on moving your catalogue to 3d models. This episode is a sneak peek into a technology that is rapidly becoming a norm! ----------- SPONSORS: This episode is brought to you by: Klaviyo  This episode is brought to you by Klaviyo – a growth marketing platform that powers over 25,000 online businesses.
