The Strategy Sessions… A marketing podcast. 

Episode 12 ‐ Black Friday A Discussion With Luke Carthy

You know the drill. 

It’s November, the pumpkins are in the compost heap and if you’ve got kids, you’ve started to wheel out the threat of “Santa’s watching” to improve behaviour. 

Yes, Christmas is coming. 

Which means, from a business perspective, it’s almost BLACK FRIDAY

That means we get all steamed up about a concept we imported from the States (I’ll get over it soon) and focus on selling piles of products to our customers. If you want to know how to win in ecommerce, have a listen to the discussion with Luke Carthy. 

Highlights of the discussions include: 

  • Amazon (can you talk ecommerce without mentioning them?!) 
  • Postage and why people hate paying for it 
  • Investing in your brand  
  • Products being ‘good enough’ to sell 
  • Luke and me working together 
  • The opportunities and challenges of Christmas 2020 
  • What you can do if you haven’t set up online sales yet 
  • The numbers! Margin v sales and LTV of customers 
  • Black Friday 
  • Lessons to younger marketers 
  • Links We Discuss

    Luke X

    When Luke comes together to work with Eximo Marketing, we go under the brand of Luke X. We both still run our own companies, we just buddy up for some clients who need both our skills. Why us? You get Luke’s impeccable ecommerce skills and Andi’s strategic marketing approach. 

    We know the companies that win online are those who have their whole game working. Just having a great product isn’t enough. Just investing in performance marketing won’t work in the long term. We can help you navigate the complex world of ecommerce and find the right course for sustainable growth.  Get in touch.
