  • Episode 8: Supply Chain Crisis

    As the global supply chain crisis continues, Britain now faces further disruption in the form of queues at petrol stations everywhere, caused by recent labour shortages in the UK.  

    As highstreet and online retailers now turn their attention to Christmas, the question facing eCommerceers is, what effect will the disruption of the last two quarters have on the busiest time of the year for retail? 

    In this episode we speak to Stephanie Frackowiak, Managing Director of TradeBridge France, about these recent  difficulties and how that may affect eCommerceers in the run up to Christmas.

  • Episode 7: Cyber Monday

    Summer’s over, and the countdown begins for the biggest event in the retail calendar for eCommerceers and consumers alike ... Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming.  

    The early expectations were for this year’s Black Friday to evolve from the original long weekend, to a week-long, price cutting marathon, which would see the amalgamation of Black Friday and Cyber Monday into one sustained event.  

    However according to a recent survey, 66% of Black Friday shoppers said that they planned to do all their Christmas shopping online. Will this holiday season, see an eCommerce ‘gold rush’? 

    In this episode we speak to Mark Coxhead, CEO and Co-Founder of TradeBridge, about what might be in store for eCommerceers as we edge closer to these retail events.

    This month Amazon has seen an extraordinary increase of Chinese-based entities acquiring top eCommerce sellers to their ranks. According to the WSJ every 1/50th of a second a new listing is uploaded by a Chinese vendor.

    Or instead, will the authentic customer relationships and organic reputation that the conglomerates seem intent on buying win the day?
