Tips for Writing a Good Product Description for eCommerce Websites
By Simbar Dube+You’ve invested so much time and energy into your e-Commerce business, products, SEO, and website design.
But for some reason, your conversion rate is not improving.

By Simbar Dube+I have a quick exercise for you.

Read MoreHow to Leverage The Price Anchoring Effect (With Examples)
By Marco Basile+When crafting a high-converting landing page, well, there are dozens of price principles you can take advantage of.

Or let me rephrase, do you know what your customers are worth to your business?
I’m sure that many eCommerce marketers can’t answer this question. Not only because CLV is a neglected or often overlooked metric, but also because it can be very difficult to calculate – perhaps this is why there are too many CLV formulas out there.

Read MoreWhat Causes DTC eCommerce Brands To Fail?
By Simbar Dube+It must be nice…
Having maximum control over everything that has to do with your product.
I mean who doesn’t want to control their branding, messaging, and of course, the profits that come with it.
I assume that this is what most eCommerce founders think before either switching from B2C or B2B to the direct-to-consumer DTC model.
But if you ask for an honest opinion from those who have been in DTC for a long time, they will tell you that not everything that glitters is gold.
