In the first few years of an eCommerce business (or any business!) there’s often a lot of tooing and froing trying to find the right pathway. The right products, the right path to market, the right marketing methods. Tons of testing, and of course ‘optimisation!’. That’s what this guest is joining us to talk about – 4 years ago he designed a really clever new product that solves a frustration for many people around the world. When we caught up with him 2 years ago he was busying testing different routes to market – online sales vs licencing to manufacturers, vs selling wholesale to tailors and dry cleaners. In this episode you’re going to find out how all that has been going, the marketing testing he’s been doing, AND how he’s ended up creating a whole new brand as yet another route to market. Some of the lessons he shares are priceless. The business he’s building is still a work in progress – and in this episode, you get to see (very candidly) behind the scenes to hear how he manages all the different ideas, and how they all start coming together to create the platform from which growth is (I think) just about to go crazy! Rob Kessler is the Inventor and co-founder of Million Dollar Collar. Where he creates fashion accessories for men which provide a classy polished appearance. Rob launched the business in Jan 2016 and they have now sold over 250,000 units in 111 countries to over 18,000 customers. We last chatted 2 years ago (episode 155) so I’m excited to find out what Rob’s been up to. Find all the details at https://eCommerceMasterPlan.comSign up for a free Omnisend account at https://ecmp.info/Omnisend - Use code MASTERPLAN2022 to save 15% on paid plans when you need them.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/--- Download our ebook... https://ecmp.info/ebook 500 Tips to Increase Your Profits Get all the links and resources we mention and join our email list at https://ecmp.info Love the show?

We all have to focus on growth and achieving our goals month in, month out – you can’t forget about it once January’s over. In this episode, I’m chatting to someone who’s relatively early in their business journey, and who contacted me to see if he could share his growth journey step by step on the podcast. I of course said yes as I thought it was a great idea, and he’s going to be back on the podcast later this year to let us know how his growth focus is going. See episodes 273, 288 and 305.Think of this as our before episode – but don’t think that means you’re not going to get much from it….

I met our guest at the Internet Retailing Expo (IRX) where she was giving a presentation in the conference theatre I was chairing – her session was so good and the content so valuable I knew she would make a great guest. It took us a little while to make the recording happen – but you’re in for a treat…Nicola Fox is a retail marketer specialising in Email marketing, CRM and LoyaltyOver the last 10 years, she’s been working for top UK retailers like Holland & Barrett where she designed and developed a healthcare loyalty programme. Most recently she worked at fast-fashion giant Missguided, where she took on a task familiar to anyone in eCommerce – shifting email marketing from batch and blast to a data-driven, segmented, personalised program.
