eCommerce as a concept is daunting, with professionals struggling to understand digital product launches and same-day deliveries. Yet, this rapidly evolving space demands a certain level of organizational change and management. As a first mover navigating the tumultuous digital world, how can you educate your team to facilitate digital transformation?

According to Chris Perry and Oskar Kaszubski, the most common growth barrier eCommerce companies face is siloed teams. This occurs because businesses haven’t modified their goals to accommodate future transformation. When dismantling silos, it’s necessary to collect performance measurements of each function in an organization. But true change transpires when eCommerce leaders remain involved in operations and embrace the learning curve that accompanies digital organization.

In today’s episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant welcomes Chris Perry and Oskar Kaszubski of firstmovr to talk about digital change management and organizational development. Together, they cover how to educate eCommerce executives on change management, the importance of accountability, personal measurement, and growth, and eCommerce leaders’ biggest pain points.

  • Strategies for evaluating 1P versus 3P fulfillment
  • Optimizing paid media on Amazon for 1P and 3P
  • How to maintain brand protection on Amazon

In this episode…

Q4 has brought about a decline in purchase orders (POs) and inventory shortages on Amazon. With these pressing issues, brands need to evaluate 1P and 3P fulfillment methods to anticipate Amazon regulations and avoid shutdowns next year. So, how can you determine the best fulfillment method for your brand?

Although Amazon has not yet initiated a mandatory full transition from 1P to 3P, Garrett Bluhm urges brands to weigh their options. Your first evaluation strategy should be to develop a profit and loss (P&L) strategy for each fulfillment method. This requires performing a complete assessment of available inventory, shipping costs, and product pricing. Then you can analyze FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) or FBM (Fulfillment by Merchant) costs. If transitioning from 1P to 3P, Garrett warns that Amazon can track your account addresses and subsequently remove your account, so it’s crucial to utilize separate business addresses for Amazon and your chosen merchant. 

In this episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant welcomes Garrett Bluhm, Co-founder and CEO of Drafted Commerce, to talk about 1P and 3P fulfillment on Amazon. Garrett shares how brands should consider declining POs and inventory shortages, strategies for evaluating 1P versus 3P fulfillment, and how to maintain brand protection on Amazon.

In the era of video, brands are leveraging product reviews and content on TikTok and other social media platforms to drive conversions, engagement, and sentiment. So, how can you optimize product videos to reach target audiences and satisfy evolving expectations?

With younger generations spending an average of five hours a day on TikTok, consumer shopping journeys and purchasing decisions are influenced by product reviews and how-to videos. But, according to Ajay Bam, these videos are often lengthy and inaccessible, negatively affecting the customer experience. To help consumers find exactly what they're looking for, Ajay emphasizes the importance of in-video searches. To maximize video discovery, engagement, and brand sentiment, you can leverage UGC (user-generated content) to increase relevance, reach target demographics, and personalize the customer journey.

  • Corey and Aaron Conant discuss holistic eCommerce approaches

In this episode…

In the eCommerce space, Amazon is experiencing volatile changes, including simultaneous inventory shortages and surpluses, limited warehouse space, and fluctuations in consumer spending. As Q4 approaches, how can you control your inventory to meet consumer demands and sell products?

Corey Apirian emphasizes the importance of diversification strategies to manage orders, expand capabilities, and optimize infrastructure. The most effective diversification tactic entails leveraging various direct fulfillment centers that allow you to place your products in hyperlocal facilities to expedite delivery and minimize outbound freight costs. You can also expand into multiple marketplaces to maximize product availability. With the right technology and a holistic approach to inventory, fulfillment, and delivery, you can create a successful selling model that prepares your brand for the future of eCommerce. 

Tune in to this episode of The Digital Deep Dive as Aaron Conant sits down with Corey Apirian, CEO of Davinci Micro Fulfillment, to analyze Amazon inventory and fulfillment trends. Together, they talk about how brands can prepare for Q4 during inventory shortages, opportunities and risks for the future of Amazon, and holistic eCommerce approaches.
