What Your Audience Could Learn
7 Areas Ecommerce Brands Ignore Until It's Too Late

Most ecommerce brands just focus on growth and often ignore other essential parts of their business. Without an operational house in order (such as finance, operations, fulfillment, supply chain, etc.), brands risk suffocating their growth potential in the long run.

On your podcast, Evan can share the 7 most common areas he’s seen over his 15 years in the ecommerce industry that many companies ignore for too long. He’ll talk about data literacy, fostering a healthy team culture, cash management and budgeting, channel diversification, expanding product line, and emphasis on brand perception.

Navigating Uncertainty In Ecommerce

Running an ecommerce business is a definition of uncertainty and many CEOs often ask themselves questions like: “What if we sell out?”, “Will Amazon steal our sh*t?” or “What if FB shuts down our ad account?”. In this environment, only people that are tough as nails will survive and thrive long-term.

On your podcast, Evan can take your audience through a mindset shift to stay calm and find solutions quickly in every situation. Why is he qualified to talk about it? In over 15 years, he’s seen that one of the main reasons why brands fail is their inability to navigate change and uncertainty. Get ready for a mixture of stories “from the trenches” as well as actionable tips and strategies.

Ecommerce vs. Subscription Commerce: How To Add A Recurring Piece To Your Store

Evan spent most of his career in subscription commerce and currently helps multiple 9-figure subscription commerce brands. He’s seen time and time again how traditional ecommerce companies struggle with seasonality and unpredictability. The solution? Transforming your ecommerce store into a subscription commerce business.

On your podcast, Evan can share the little-known reasons to do it and also how to do it the right way. He’ll answer the question “Can you do both?”, debunk common limiting beliefs around this model, will share why subscription businesses can outspend competitors, as well as how to find a subscription opportunity in every business.

Start Using These In 2022: The Top Underleveraged Tools & Technologies In Ecommerce

“If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it”, right? Well, the world of marketing technology and tools that can grow your ecommerce store is evolving quicker than most people’s opinions. As a result, thousands of brands are stuck in the “old days”, using outdated approaches to their marketing tech stack.

On your podcast, Evan can talk about the most common underleveraged tools that every ecommerce brand should at least consider. He’ll share the latest insight into the text commerce industry, the right way of testing, loyalty-based programs (that actually make sense), or even personalisation and content curation at scale.
