Can Retail Leave Social Media?

Today, I tackle that question with my friend, collaborator and brilliant business baddie Amelia Hruby in a conversation originally hosted on her podcast, Off The Grid.

Tune in to hear Amelia and I discuss how social media has rapidly shifted for retailers and why chasing the algorithm might be the worst sales strategy in your playbook. We also get into—

• Whether or not social media currently provides meaningful traffic
• Where social media for retail can actually shine (and where it definitely doesn’t)
• My favorite non-social media marketing methods
• Knowing your numbers
