Online shopping has become the norm, and some brands operate entirely from an eCommerce model. Despite this, eCommerce is still in its infancy, so brands are struggling with the basics, like sales, shipping, and traffic. What strategies can brands employ to stay ahead of the eCommerce game?
According to eCommerce specialist Amitai Sasson, shipping costs are rising, but packaging products in smaller boxes can reduce fees. He also recommends that brands with essential products utilize Shopify for third-party shipping to provide consumers with a seamless shopping and checkout experience. You must also understand your website traffic drivers by analyzing first-party data, available inventory, best-selling products, and ad spend. Additionally, integrating new technology into your website may increase your traffic and conversion rates.

To address consumer spending cuts and increased budgeting, eCommerce and digital strategy engineer Todd Hassenfelt advises offering discounts and perks like subscribe and save initiatives to encourage quick purchases.

He is also an Executive Educator and Keynote Speaker at Path to Purchase Institute. With over 12 years of experience as an eCommerce leader and executive educator, Chris aims to empower leaders to embrace change with actionable knowledge, strategies, and KPIs.
The eCommerce landscape is advancing rapidly, and first-mover organizations are capitalizing on digital trends for 2024. What eCommerce projections should you observe, and how can you implement them to drive explosive growth in 2024?
First mover and change leader Chris Perry notes that shoppers expect omnichannel integrations at every touchpoint, so everything from online and in-store shopping experiences to retail media should include omnichannel strategies. With the rapid adoption of retail media, first movers must dismantle advertising and media silos to develop a full-funnel approach that engages audiences. As Gen Z consumers shop on social media platforms like TikTok, social commerce has become the leading driver of digital, making it crucial for first movers to leverage. Additionally, increasing acquisitions and partnerships have led to competition, so by partnering with agencies of record (AOR), you can enable long-term leadership and growth. Category management strategies are imperative in generating incremental omnichannel growth. To ensure effective omnichannel capabilities, you must update your processes, details, and workflows.
In this episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant welcomes Chris Perry, the Co-founder and Chief Learning Officer at firstmovr, to discuss the leading digital commerce trends for 2024. Chris shares how to develop winning online and in-store shopping strategies, how to promote first-mover leadership training and education, and how to execute omnichannel strategies.

He founded OneClickRetail, the first Amazon market share measurement tool that was sold to Asscential.

Justin Maner is the Founding Partner of DetailPage. He was also the CEO of Data Spark, a startup that offered actionable insights to brands and sellers on Walmart Marketplace. Having spent 10 years as an Amazon director, Justin led the baby registry to become the #1 US registry, reinvented the vendor negotiation process, and created a new communication system for vendors and sellers.
As brands compete for shelf space on digital retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Target, market share has become top of mind for many. With fragmented data sources, outdated PDPs, and competition at an all-time high, how can you drive retail sales and market share on Amazon?
Data insights masters Spencer Millerberg and Justin Maner stress the importance of acquiring accurate first- and third-party data sources to measure performance and market share. These can be collected and analyzed using disruptive, AI-driven technology that’s affordable and 95% accurate. Driving retail sales requires increasing traffic and conversions, so Justin and Spencer advise optimizing your PDPs for competitor keywords. Yet rather than gauging competition based on specific categories, you must analyze keywords customers use when searching for similar products. This allows you to segment competition effectively.
Tune in to this episode of The Digital Deep Dive as Aaron Conant invites Spencer Millerberg and Justin Maner, Founding Partners of DetailPage, to speak about gaining market share in the competitive Amazon landscape. Together, they talk about disruptive technologies in eCommerce, how to update PDPs using relevant competitor keywords, and how to allocate first- and third-party data.

Website speed and performance are at the forefront as many eCommerce brands try to secure conversions. Yet instantaneous and seamless site experiences can be compromised by unwanted traffic, data theft, and other security concerns. How can you integrate site speed, performance, and security to improve online shopping experiences and generate quality conversions?
According to web developer Ajay Kapur, unauthorized traffic and compromised data diminish site speed, resulting in a cumbersome user experience. CDN security removes unwarranted traffic and safeguards workflow data to free up your infrastructure. However, achieving instant website speed and above-average performance requires recreating retail shopping experiences and increasing available products by eliminating page load times. This optimized performance accelerates conversion rates and revenue per user.
On today’s episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant hosts Ajay Kapur, the GM and CTO of Security and Applications at Edgio, for a conversation about site speed, performance, and security. Ajay shares strategies for analyzing website speed and performance, how to surpass competition through high-performing websites, and online shopping trends and experiences.

As brands gear up for 2024, there are three major shifts they must navigate: the widespread use of AI chatbots, the end of third-party cookies, and the metaverse revival. How can you capitalize on these trends to gain a competitive advantage in 2024 and beyond?
With AI fundamentally altering the digital marketing agency structure, online marketer Udayan Bose has observed leading companies leveraging chatbots to generate consumer data insights, personalize the online shopping experience, and enhance search results. Udayan emphasizes these chatbots’ roles as personal search assistants, facilitating personalized and accurate answers to complex questions. By the end of the year, Google will disable third-party cookies completely. Yet only 15-20% of marketers are prepared for this change. Alternatively, you can leverage retail media to combine in-store and online advertising, circumventing new privacy regulations. Although the metaverse has primarily targeted gamers in the past, Udayan predicts that Apple’s release of a mixed-reality headset in February will restore interest by revolutionizing social commerce.
Tune in to this segment of The Digital Deep Dive as Aaron Conant welcomes Udayan Bose, the Founder and CEO of NetElixir, back to the show to discuss the pressing digital marketing trends of the near future.

Retail media is gaining traction in the digital advertising ecosystem, and retailers are leveraging it to drive in-store conversions. Yet with multichannel advertising a growing necessity and ad dollars spread thin, how can you incorporate retail media seamlessly into your strategy?
Digital impressions drive many point-of-sale conversions online, but with 80-85% of these conversions occurring in-store, retailers must engage shoppers through visual and auditory mediums. However, retail media mavens Nate Pinkston and Paul Brenner say you must combine in-store and digital advertising and retail media to generate conversions across multiple channels. This requires attributing impressions to specific campaigns and retail media networks through transparent data analytics and distributing ad spend across corresponding channels. A strong relationship with retail media networks is the foundation for an effective strategy.
Join Aaron Conant in this episode of The Digital Deep Dive as he chats with Nate Pinkston of Microsoft’s retail media department and Paul Brenner of Vibenomics about developing a retail media advertising strategy. Together, they share best practices for adopting retail media, how AI enhances retail media effectiveness, and how to leverage retail media for creative ad campaigns.

Corey Apirian is the CEO of Davinci Micro Fulfillment, a full-service logistics company that uses technology and partners with brands and retailers to help market, sell, fulfill, and ship their products. As an accomplished supply chain and operations leader, Corey has over 15 years of senior management experience. With more than 20 years of experience in the eCommerce fulfillment industry, Corey has been drop shipping for every major retailer since 2004 and has launched over 50 different subcategories through individual online and brick-and-mortar channels.
Many brands consider expanding into DTC channels, but with only one fulfillment center, they struggle to achieve optimal delivery times in various areas. With profitability a top concern in fulfillment and delivery, how can you meet consumer demands to drive additional conversions?
Instituting multiple hyper-local fulfillment centers throughout the country reduces shipping costs while ensuring inventory reaches the end consumer in 1-2 days. However, direct fulfillment alone is not enough to secure conversions. As fulfillment leader Corey Apirian notes, DTC delivery is a holistic process involving integrating multiple delivery methods and partners to maximize accuracy. Larger items may require you to leverage 3PL companies, whereas compact items can be shipped using Seller Fulfilled Prime to deliver directly to domestic Prime customers.
In today’s edition of The Digital Deep Dive, Corey Apirian, the CEO of Davinci Micro Fulfillment, returns to chat with Aaron Conant about DTC fulfillment considerations for 2024. Corey explains the importance of transparency in communicating delivery times, why CPG brands should have a DTC presence, and inventory management strategies for profitability.
