In this episode…

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. Udayan explains his company’s AI-first efforts, how to manage rapidly changing digital marketing trends, and the growing potential of retail media.

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.

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.

As customer acquisition costs rise, brands try to generate conversions to secure loyalty and lifetime value. Checkout and delivery are often overlooked during the customer journey, with brands missing out on profitable opportunities. How can you optimize the fulfillment process to enhance the consumer experience?

In traditional retail shopping, customers receive the item upon purchase. However, seasoned business owner Avi Moskowitz notes that when shopping online, customers leave the shop without the product and must wait for delivery. To cultivate trust during this variable period, you must communicate reasonable and thorough expectations of shipping and delivery, ensuring you fulfill this commitment accurately. This may entail establishing omnichannel fulfillment methods through multiple hyperlocal warehouses to meet demands efficiently. 

In today’s episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant hosts Avi Moskowitz, the Co-founder and CEO of PrettyDamnQuick, for a conversation about increasing profitability through effective delivery. Avi shares how he conducts A/B testing at checkout, how to convert customers from checkout to delivery, and how to navigate shipping costs and delivery times.

Digital marketing has shifted from an occasional perk to a new business standard as brands optimize content to drive conversions on the digital shelf. Yet with so much demand for innovative content and record-high consumption rates, how can you test and measure your content to ensure your efforts generate maximum ROI?

According to eCommerce-focused marketer Mike Black, the first step in content optimization is to assemble your briefs to target retail algorithms and advertise in the appropriate categories. However, keywords and competitors change dynamically and frequently, so you must leverage automation and other analytics tools to track incremental performance. Mike cites the digital shelf as a key performance driver but warns that data sets can become siloed, so by applying the data to various marketing channels like retail media, you can develop an integrated strategy for informed decision-making.

In the latest episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant hosts Mike Black, the CMO of Profitero, who talks about the convergence of media, commerce, and the digital shelf. Mike addresses the democratization of eCommerce and technology, how to leverage software tools for paid media, and how data-driven insights boost content performance.

With the rapid adoption of eCommerce, online marketplaces like Amazon and Walmart share more data than ever. Yet, as brands collect this data, it becomes fragmented within advertising, retail, and operations departments. How can you integrate data signals to make informed decisions?

Data analytics problem solver Sreenath Reddy classifies data into three distinct categories: strategic, operational, and diagnostic. Strategic data comprises customer lifetime value, competition, and incrementality, in which brands must take a predictive approach to develop actionable insights. Analyzing operational data requires automating performance metrics from inventory levels, ad spend, and profitability. With diagnostic data, Sreenath recommends developing a system to identify potential disruptions, causes, and solutions. 

In today’s edition of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant welcomes Sreenath Reddy, the Founder of Intentwise, back to the show to discuss analyzing and grouping Amazon data. Sreenath shares how to align ad spend with product profitability, how to analyze incrementality, and his mission to unify data signals.

When attempting to advertise on Walmart.com, many brands miss the mark and fail to spend effectively. What should you know about Walmart.com’s advertising landscape, and how can you structure your investments on the platform?

As the largest retailer in the world and the fastest-growing online marketplace in the US, Walmart has gained significant traction among brands. Yet many apply the same sales and growth strategies when selling on Amazon and struggle to achieve results, attributing the lack of sales to scarce demand and opportunity. What should you consider before selling on Walmart.com, and how can you scale on its marketplace?

With fewer third-party sellers than Amazon, Walmart.com offers ample opportunity to drive sales growth in multiple categories. Additionally, Walmart merchants encourage growth by facilitating first-party vendor relationships, where the retailer lists your products and ensures high-ranking search results. With expertise in the early stages of Walmart.com, Michael Lebhar recommends evaluating profitable categories, opportunities, and competition before launching products on Walmart.com. When transitioning from other marketplaces like Amazon, it’s crucial to alter your content, shipping, and growth strategy to align with Walmart’s ecosystem.

In today’s episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant returns to welcome Michael Lebhar, the Co-founder and CEO of SellCord, for a conversation about Walmart’s online marketplace. Michael shares Walmart’s most profitable categories, how to facilitate long-term growth and partnerships on the retail site, and how to transition to the platform.
