The holidays are over (thankfully), and your ecommerce business is back to normal. Or, almost. It’s now returns season, and that can be almost as difficult for B2C businesses as the holidays themselves. Customers are trying to return gifts that are the wrong size, broken, unwanted, or otherwise flawed in some way. It’s tough for your customer service team to sort through it all and still make sure you end up with happy customers at the end of the day.

When we started Klaviyo in 2012, we set out to change the way businesses communicate with consumers. It didn’t seem right that the interactions we, as individuals, had with brands and products we liked were so impersonal — so irrelevant and generic. Klaviyo was founded on the idea that every single interaction would be better if it were powered by the data brands already have about their customers.

By Klaudia Tirico, Features Editor One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2018 — albeit easy to accomplish — is to listen to more podcasts. Whether they’re simply just for fun or for editorial purposes, I resolve to listen more and hear what influential people in the world have to say about important topics. I watch more TV than I’d like to admit so it will be refreshing to shut my eyes and digest content in a new way.

Running a successful ecommerce store in the fashion and apparel industry can take some serious hussle and a whole lot of strategy. With seemingly endless options for shoppers, turning browsers into buyers is not an easy task. If you’ve moved beyond the basics of sending campaigns and into autoresponders (or as we call them flows), the first one you probably launched was an abandoned cart email.

With 40% of Cyber Monday sales coming from mobile devices and nearly 70% of consumers getting news on mobile devices, every app engagement matters.

December marked the fourth month of operations for Apes in Space, my online store that sells space posters. In the last couple of months I’ve slowly figured out how to grow traffic. But the results haven’t been exactly stellar. I’m happy to say that last months was different and I’ve finally made some sales! December always is one of the top months for most of my consulting clients, so I’ve been busy with other projects.

With 2017 now in the rear view mirror, I’ve been reflecting on the people (and organizations) to whom I am most grateful for their support, the examples they’ve set and for challenging me to keep pushing to make my little dent in the universe. A precious few extended a measure of grace when I didn’t feel like I deserved it. Others were simply there to listen or give me a hug when my heart felt broken and shattered.

2017 was an interesting year for me. I bought a new house in February after being homeless for about 4 months. In October 2016, my wife and I sold our house and spent the 2.5 months of 2016 and the first 1.5 months of 2017 traveling around the Southwest (we spent the time in Colorado and New Mexico). Our plan was to spend 6 months to a year traveling around the country but we both realized quickly that we need a ‘home base’ and weren’t cut out for living out of vacation rentals

You don’t need a fortune to start an ecommerce business. Without a physical store, maintenance expenses and (usually) labor expenses are significantly reduced for online sellers. With these low startup costs, many merchants flock to sell online with the hope of making an easy profit. Selling online, however, isn’t automatically profitable.

2018 Retail: The Predictions You Need To Know. 2018 retail is going to be one heck of a ride. Whether that’s a good ride, or a bad ride, depends on how much retailers learned from the rocky road that was 2017. From trends like voice control to virtual reality, to rumors of the so called retail apocalypse, 2017 retail was one for the books. But let’s not dwell on the past.

“What people revere, they resemble, either for ruin or for restoration.”. – Greg Beale. The word “worship” most often has a religious connotation. But we can revere, adore, exalt, venerate and glorify many things beyond whatever concept of a Higher Power we have (or don’t). We can worship money. We can worship being right. We can worship a bigger house filled with more and ever cooler stuff.

Amidst reports that holiday spending was up nearly 4.9% , some optimism about the American moderate department store sector has started to creep back in. In fact, right after these reports shares of Macys, Dillards, Kohls and JC Penney spiked. It’s all a bit baffling. On the one hand, if I were a betting person, I expect that these brands will report decent, maybe even objectively good, numbers this quarter.
