    • EP 38: 7 MUST-HAVE Ecommerce Email AutoResponder Sequence Series w/ John McIntyre
      If you haven’t implemented an email marketing strategy for your store yet, you’re missing out big time. A properly-implemented email marketing campaign can lift revenue by as much as 50%. With that sort of potential, it boggles my mind how many mid-tier etailers that don't do email marketing.
      My guest on today’s show is John McIntyre who is also called the Auto Responder Guy - for good reason. John runs an email marketing consultancy focused on the implementation of advanced email marketing programs for a wide range of businesses including online retailers; using sophisticated behavioural re-engagment funnels.
      He is also going to kindly share his consultancy’s email marketing process they use for their ecommerce clients (which I will be sharing in the show notes). You will be able to use this process as a checklist either by yourself OR hand over it to a staff member to implement John McIntyre also runs quite a popular podcast called The McMethod Email Marketing Podcast.

    • EP 31: Scaling Mid-Tier Ecommerce with Customer Lifecycle Data and Personalisation w/ Ivan Mazour, Ometria
      Today’s show is particularly quite exciting: that is because if you are signed up to my newsletter, you'll know by now how I bang on about how fundamental repeat customers are to achieving ecommerce success - and how repeats customers are truly the lifeblood of most ecommerce businesses. So, I did some digging around for Ecommerce customer retention platforms and came across Ometria (https://www.ometria.com/); a predictive Ecommerce Customer Lifecycle Marketing platform that helps mid-tiers retailers drive and increase customer retention by helping them identify:
      - Their hero customers,
      - Repeat vs News customers,
      - Lapsing periods between sales,
      - Key customer retention metrics at both a granular customer level as well as in segments and holistically
      After identification of these metrics, it segments your database and sends highly customised and targeted messages to each customer.
      This interview is with a co-Founder and the CEO of Ometria; Ivan Mazour.
      I quiz him about how to go about scaling a mid-tier ecommerce business armed with both customer data/insights and personalisation.
