Spicing up your copy, whether it be emails, social media, or product descriptions will give your online store a personality to stand above competitors.In this fourth installment in my series of conversations about building an ecommerce business, I'm visiting with Neville Medhora, founder of Kopywriting Kourse.

Fermàt CMO on Customized Customer Journeys

The post-Covid ecommerce hangover has hit Roman Khan. He launched his first direct-to-consumer brand in 2013, acquired others, and in 2021 founded Peak 21, an aggregator with equity investors. The outlook was good.

Fast forward to 2024, and many ecommerce companies are struggling. Mergers and acquisitions have cratered. Yet Khan perseveres. His team reviews dozens of purchase candidates every month, albeit cautiously.

In this conversation, Khan shares his investment criteria, current market conditions, and predictions for a recovery.
