SmartScout is expanding beyond Amazon with new TikTok Shop data after six months of research and development. The new tools track TikTok Shop trends, top products, estimated sales, market share, categories, sellers, and product variants. Scott explains why TikTok Shop reminds him of Amazon 10 years ago and why social commerce is creating new opportunities for brands. The data also reveals major differences between Amazon and TikTok Shop. Brands that dominate Amazon aren't always the biggest TikTok Shop sellers, while newer brands can quickly rise through creators and social content. SmartScout has also connected TikTok Shop products to Amazon categories, allowing sellers to compare marketplace performance and drill down into specific products and variants. Scott also shares his biggest surprises, including the strength of women's apparel, the number of Chinese sellers, and how aggressively some established brands are embracing TikTok Shop. He then explores whether TikTok Shop could eventually compete with Amazon, how creators and GMV Max create a content-to-commerce flywheel, and why connecting TikTok Shop and Amazon data matters.

Mason Bertrand is the Director of Social Commerce at Ridge, the nine-figure DTC brand behind the iconic Ridge Wallet. In this episode, we talk about how ecommerce brands can use TikTok Shop and social commerce to acquire new customers and scale profitably. Mason shares exactly how they're doing it at Ridge, plus his top advice for brands just getting started on the platform. You don't want to miss this one.

Social commerce is changing how consumers discover, evaluate and buy products. In Episode 141 of Direct Approach, David Vanderveen and Peter Griscom explain why direct selling is uniquely positioned to thrive in this new era through creators, communities, AI and content-driven commerce. Learn how forward-thinking companies can modernize relationship marketing while empowering distributors to become the next generation of creators.

Most brands are still buying ad space…the smartest ones are building an army instead. In this episode, Nik shares his recent conversation from the Social Commerce Summit in NYC, where he and Heatmap.com's Dylan Ander dig into exactly what's working in social commerce and creator marketing right now. Nik breaks down why the best brands have stopped treating creators like a media buy and started industrializing them, building real, commission-based "creator armies" the same way Comfort scaled with the now-famous Hudson Method. He unpacks his concept of persona mapping and persona maxing, why YouTubers and vloggers specifically outperform every other creator type on paid, and gets brutally honest about his own celebrity brand flops to explain why most celebrity brands don't survive past day three. For brands doing $3–10M a year without a nine-figure budget, Nik lays out a practical playbook: parallel-path your creator and paid funnel strategy, feed winning ad angles back to creators (and vice versa), and find your product's exact price "sweet spot" for TikTok Shop before you scale spend. If you're trying to figure out where your next dollar of creator marketing budget should actually go, this episode is as tactical as it gets. --- Tatari helps brands run TV like a modern performance channel.

Live-Shopping galt hierzulande lange als gescheitert – doch jetzt kommt das Format mit Wucht zurück. In Asien läuft längst ein Drittel des E-Commerce darüber, in Deutschland fängt der Markt gerade erst an. Die spannende Frage: Welche Strategie steckt dahinter, und was braucht es, um erfolgreich zu sein? Auf der K5 spricht Joel mit zwei Perspektiven, die sich perfekt ergänzen: Saskia Meier-Andrae, Geschäftsführerin von eBay, die Live zu ihrem Herzensthema gemacht hat, und Karo Junker de Neui von eTribes und dem Kassenzone-Podcast, die die Modelle der einzelnen Player nebeneinanderlegt. Wir sprechen darüber, warum Saskia Live-Shopping „QVC auf LSD“ nennt, wie eine Uhr ab einem Euro für 92.000 Euro weggeht, wie sich eBay, TikTok Shop und Whatnot strategisch unterscheiden, wie man Händler zu Live-Stars macht – und warum Live ausgerechnet der Gegenpol zu Agentic Commerce ist. Du erfährst... …wie eBay Live-Shopping die Zukunft des E-Commerce revolutioniert. …welche Strategien und Erfolgsfaktoren hinter Live-Shopping stehen. …warum Authentizität und Community bei eBay im Fokus stehen. __________________________ ||||| PERSONEN |||||

In der neusten Folge vom OMT-Podcast führt Mario Jung (OMT GmbH) ein Interview mit Yara Molthan (Etribes Connect GmbH) darüber, warum der eCommerce-Goldrausch vorbei ist und Unternehmen 2026 radikal anders arbeiten müssen. Yara beschreibt, dass Wachstum nicht mehr automatisch mit dem Markt kommt: Konsument:innen sind preissensibler, Customer Acquisition Costs explodieren und KI-Suchergebnisse verschieben SEO-Traffic massiv Richtung Paid. Gleichzeitig belasten Inflation, geopolitische Krisen und Lieferkettenprobleme das Konsumklima. Erfolgreiche Unternehmen reagieren darauf, indem sie zuerst ihren Maschinenraum modernisieren: saubere Daten, semantisch reiche Produktinformationen, flexible Tech-Stacks und Automatisierung in Bestandsplanung, Kundenservice oder Retourenmanagement. Entscheidend ist ein iterativer Modus, in dem Hypothesen getestet, Ressourcen bewusst priorisiert und eine klare Master-KPI verfolgt wird, statt alles gleichzeitig zu wollen. Beim Thema KI betont Yara, dass 95 % der Projekte scheitern – nicht wegen Technologie, sondern wegen Kultur. Teams müssen verstehen, wofür KI eingesetzt wird, welche Datenqualität nötig ist und wie Leuchtturmprojekte Ängste abbauen. Gleichzeitig entsteht ein spannendes Paradox: Während KI Content vereinheitlicht und Prozesse automatisiert, steigt der Wunsch nach echter Menschlichkeit. Kund:innen sehnen sich nach Beratung, Community und persönlicher Interaktion. Genau hier entsteht Differenzierung: Omni-Channel-Erlebnisse, echte Berater:innen, KI-gestützte Shopping-Advisor und Formate wie Live Shopping oder Social Commerce schaffen Verbindung statt Austauschbarkeit. Die Balance liegt darin, Use-Case-basiert zu entscheiden, wo Automatisierung sinnvoll ist und wo menschliche Interaktion Vertrauen, Emotion und Bindung erzeugt. Für Teams bedeutet das: Fähigkeiten wie kritisches Denken, Trendkompetenz, Storytelling, Community-Building und Experimentierfreude werden wichtiger als operative Routine. Technologie übernimmt repetitive Aufgaben, Menschen schaffen die Momente, die Marken unverwechselbar machen. Yaras Kernbotschaft: Stillstand ist keine Option. Wer jetzt Daten, Tech und Kultur neu ausrichtet, kann trotz Marktveränderungen nachhaltig wachsen. Wenn Du im eCommerce oder Online-Marketing arbeitest, ist diese Podcast-Folge ein Pflicht-Impuls für Deine Agenda 2026. Hör rein, um zu verstehen, wie Du Effizienz, KI und echten Human Touch kombinierst — und warum genau diese Mischung über Deinen Erfolg entscheidet.

In Asien ist Live-Commerce längst ein Milliardenmarkt – in Europa winken viele Händler:innen noch ab: schon dreimal gehypt, schon dreimal verpufft. Dabei zeigt der Blick nach Osten, wie aus Livestreams echtes Geschäft wird – bis hin zur Rolex, die bei einem Euro startet und für 90.000 Euro den Besitzer wechselt.

In this high-energy live episode of The Voice of Retail, Michael welcomes two dynamic voices shaping the future of retail and consumer brands: Jake Karls and Carl Boutet. Recorded live on location, this spontaneous conversation delivers powerful insights into what it takes to build a modern consumer brand in an increasingly crowded, algorithm-driven marketplace. Jake Karls shares the remarkable growth story behind Mid-Day Squares—from launching the company in Montreal with his sister and brother-in-law to building a vertically integrated manufacturing business producing more than 150,000 bars per day across North America. But this isn't just a product story. Jake explains how Mid-Day Squares intentionally built a media company mindset from day one, hiring content creators before traditional food scientists, documenting their journey, and turning storytelling into one of their most valuable growth engines. Listeners will hear how a major cocoa pricing crisis nearly disrupted the business—and how that challenge sparked one of their biggest innovations: their breakout “No Bread PB&J” product line. Jake reveals how combining product innovation with viral content, emotional storytelling, and fearless authenticity helped the brand secure retailer support and create consumer demand at scale. Carl Boutet brings his trademark strategic lens to the conversation, unpacking why brands must “take back agency” in an era increasingly dominated by AI-generated content and algorithmic sameness. Drawing from themes in his upcoming book, Carl argues that AI is quickly becoming table stakes—not differentiation—and that the brands that win will be those that create genuine emotional connection, distinctiveness, and memorability. The conversation also explores the evolving role of retail media, the power of founder-led storytelling, startup innovation in CPG, and why in a world of automation, human energy may be the ultimate competitive advantage. For retailers, brand builders, entrepreneurs, and marketers trying to understand what cuts through in today's attention economy, this episode delivers practical insights, inspiration, and plenty of laughs.   Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E.

What happens when a cultural figure with 20 years in the limelight decides to become a brand operator? Adam Domian, SVP & Head of Commerce and Audience at 11:11 Media, joins Phillip and Brian to break it down. From Walmart shelves to TikTok lives, Adam shares how Paris Hilton's portfolio balances licensing cash flow with equity-driven brands like Parive, and why "founder energy" is becoming a moat in an AI-saturated marketplace, especially with someone “sliving” such a dynamic and coveted life.  Commerce Is Hot Key takeaways: The licensee-licensor era is giving way to the celebrity-as-majority-owner era. US social commerce lags Asia because of consumer habits, not the technology itself. Trust travels with the person—platforms just shape the dialect. Once everyone has AI, cultural instinct becomes the differentiator. Archive footage is the new commercial inventory for legacy IP. Key Quotes: [00:14:31] "She is the same person across those platforms; it just allows us to lean further into different aspects of her life." — Adam Domian [00:19:15] "She was in the labs with the chemists from day one. [Parivie] product development took two and a half, three years." — Adam Domian [00:23:44] "We have Paris and her cultural pulse as an asset to these businesses, but 80% of it is running a traditional playbook." — Adam Domian [00:26:16] "When everybody's leveraging AI, there's a moment of parity. The humanness becomes the differentiator." — Adam Domian In-Show Mentions: 11:11 Media M13 Parivie Associated Links: Get Strata by Future Commerce Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

What happens when the product that made you famous starts holding you back? Kevin Gould co-founded Glamnetic in 2019 with Ann McFerran, launching a magnetic eyelash brand that exploded from $1 million to $50 million in revenue in just one year — fueled by a great product, smart growth marketing, and the COVID-era boom in DIY beauty. But when the tailwinds reversed — iOS 14 updates sent acquisition costs soaring, the lash category contracted, and revenue dipped 25% — Kevin faced a make-or-break decision. Rather than doubling down on what was declining, he pivoted the entire business into press-on nails, a category still in its infancy. Today, Glamnetic is one of the largest press-on nail brands in the world, doing over $100 million a year. In this episode, Kevin gets real about the unglamorous side of hypergrowth: the cash flow crunches that come with scaling too fast, the inventory mistakes that haunt you, and the emotional toll of watching revenue fall when you expected it to double. He shares how he and his team navigated the pivot, why community and brand affinity will always outlast paid acquisition, and why the best advice he can give founders is: don't grow too fast. You'll learn: Why going from $1M to $50M overnight nearly broke the business How to manage cash flow and inventory when you're self-funded The marketing mix that built a real brand — not just an ad machine Why TikTok Shop is the biggest arbitrage opportunity right now How a 40,000-member Facebook community doubles as a product development engine The one hire every founder should prioritize early on What it really takes — personally and professionally — to turn a pivot into a $100M business Subscribe and watch Shopify Masters on YouTube!Sign up for your FREE Shopify Trial here.

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS, provides a comprehensive guide to Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs). The episode explores the critical differences in SEO strategies for product-based (E Commerce / E-Commerce) and service-based businesses (SEO Services), offering actionable insights for online growth.Favour emphasizes the foundational importance of a fast, reliable website for any business, highlighting how website performance directly impacts user experience and, consequently, SEO algorithm rankings.

Website Performance is Paramount: A fast, reliable, and user-friendly website is the non-negotiable foundation for any successful SEO strategy, impacting everything from user engagement to search engine rankings.2. Tailor Your SEO Strategy: The optimal SEO approach differs significantly between product-based and service-based businesses. Product businesses should focus on visual optimization and structured data, while service businesses should prioritize content that builds authority and trust.3. Leverage Visuals for Product SEO: For e-commerce and product-focused businesses, high-quality, optimized images with descriptive alt text are crucial for attracting and converting customers who rely on visual information to make purchasing decisions.4. Build Authority with Content for Service SEO: Service-based businesses can establish themselves as industry leaders by consistently creating valuable, informative content (like blogs, case studies, and whitepapers) that addresses their target audience's needs and questions.5. Master User Intent: Understanding whether a user is looking to buy (commercial intent) or learn (informational intent) is key. A balanced content strategy that targets both types of keywords will capture a wider audience and nurture leads through the entire customer journey.6. Embrace Local SEO: For service businesses with a physical location or defined service area, optimizing for local search by managing a Google Business Profile and creating location-specific content is essential for attracting nearby customers.7. Consistency is the Long-Term Game: SEO is a marathon, not a sprint. Sustainable growth is achieved through consistent, long-term effort in content creation, technical optimization, and building a strong online presence, rather than expecting overnight success.Memorable Quotes[09:05] "As a service-based business or as a product-based business is your website. How fast is your website?"[35:09] "That's why we're in this room today because we want to know what is a commercial value?"[36:22] "You gotta be consistent, you gotta be putting out the content, you gotta do a lot of things."[37:01] "Long, long, long, long, long-term."Episode FAQs1. What is the most important first step in any SEO strategy?The most crucial first step is ensuring you have a fast, reliable, and mobile-friendly website. A poor-performing site will undermine all other SEO efforts.2. How does SEO for a product-based business differ from a service-based business?Product-based SEO heavily relies on high-quality images, structured data (schema markup) for product details, and e-commerce platform optimization. Service-based SEO focuses more on building authority through in-depth content, demonstrating expertise, and often includes a strong local SEO component.3. What is user intent and why is it important for SEO?User intent is the 'why' behind a search query. It can be informational (looking for information), commercial (intending to buy), transactional (ready to complete a purchase), or navigational (looking for a specific site). Understanding intent allows you to create content that directly addresses the user's needs, leading to higher engagement and better rankings.4. How long does it take to see results from SEO?SEO is a long-term strategy. While some minor results can be seen in a few months, significant, lasting results typically take six months to a year of consistent effort to achieve.5. What is the role of content in SEO for service-based businesses?For service-based businesses, content is the primary tool for building trust and demonstrating expertise. High-quality blog posts, articles, case studies, and guides attract potential clients, answer their questions, and position your business as a credible authority in your field.Episode Timestamps[00:00] Introduction: SEO for Product vs. Service Businesses[03:03] The Difference Between Product and Service-Based Businesses[08:56] The Importance of Website Speed and Reliability[10:01] SEO for Product-Based Businesses: Images and Structured Data[15:21] SEO for Service-Based Businesses: Content and Local SEO[34:10] Understanding User Intent: Commercial vs. Informational Keywords[36:07] The Importance of Consistency in SEOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ready to rethink what retail growth actually looks like? We bring back Twilla Brooks, president and CEO of Lynette Create and Innovate, to unpack a fast, practical playbook for building brands that last, from the first e-commerce listing to staying on shelf at scale. Twilla draws on years launching brands at Walmart and Macy's, then flips the script as a founder running a digital-first consulting firm with a sharp focus on brand strategy, marketing, and community impact.We dig into the real startup mechanics no one talks about: ACH setups, business banking fees, and how to pay yourself without starving the business. Twilla shares how she prices work, avoids “resentful checks,” and customizes every engagement like a recipe, because value looks different for a small, diverse-owned startup than for a Fortune-level supplier. We walk through the moment most brands miss: the work accelerates after you get into Walmart. Content quality, OTIF discipline, and data storytelling drive staying power, and your pitch needs a content strategy from day one.On the digital front, Twilla shows how social-first marketing and micro-influencers are outpacing million-dollar ad buys. We explore TikTok Shop, Amazon Live, and event-driven influencer seeding that compress discovery and purchase into a single stream. The team's AI stack; Otter, Canva, Adobe Firefly, boosts speed without sacrificing voice, thanks to rigorous human editing. When category data is scarce, Twilla builds proxy datasets from reviews, competitor benchmarks, and creator sentiment to craft credible merchant narratives. And for suppliers stuck between Amazon and Walmart.com, she lays out a clear path to make Walmart's marketplace a true growth engine rather than a checkbox.If you're navigating retail media, e-commerce content, and social commerce while trying to keep the lights on, this conversation delivers field-tested steps you can use tomorrow.

Are most brands still designing customer journeys, or are they just trying to keep up with where their customers are leading them? Agility requires a willingness to meet your customers where they are—not just where you wish they'd convert. In an era where the consumer journey can begin and end on a social platform or anywhere in between, brands must be fluid enough to engage meaningfully across channels while still connecting the dots behind the scenes.Today we're going to talk about the changing consumer journey and why a connected ecosystem that includes social commerce, audience targeting, and measurement is now table stakes.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Janna Navarro, VP, Brand & Media Strategy at Wpromote.

Are most brands still designing customer journeys, or are they just trying to keep up with where their customers are leading them? Agility requires a willingness to meet your customers where they are—not just where you wish they'd convert. In an era where the consumer journey can begin and end on a social platform or anywhere in between, brands must be fluid enough to engage meaningfully across channels while still connecting the dots behind the scenes. Today we're going to talk about the changing consumer journey and why a connected ecosystem that includes social commerce, audience targeting, and measurement is now table stakes.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Janna Navarro, VP, Brand & Media Strategy at Wpromote.
