The Sustainable Shift Podcast

Should Ethical Brands offer Afterpay?

Nowadays everyone has heard about Afterpay, the Australian Financial Tech company has become a hit with shoppers, not just in Australia but worldwide.

But if you are an Ethical ecommerce store should you really offer it? Doesn’t it go against your values of why you started your business in the first place?  After all, you don’t want to encourage unnecessary overconsumption of products that end up in a landfill. 

In today’s Podcast Episode I talk about:

If Afterpay is solving or creating problems

Why consumers love Afterpay 

If I use Afterpay 

Can Afterpay work for your Ethical Business

If you have an Eco-Friendly Ecommerce store (or you are thinking about starting one) then this episode is for you!

Today we are going to talk about something that is the most powerful tool to transform your business.  Mindset - Change this and you change everything.

I would even be brave enough to say that Mindset is the single most important thing to work on when you’re starting a business and throughout your whole business journey.

As you grow your positive entrepreneur mindset you are able to invest in making the experience and the transformations even bigger for yourself and your gorgeous customers.

When you grow, you learn, when you do better, you will be able to serve at the highest level...and the ripple effects of that? It’s beyond anything we will ever know or understand.

It doesn't matter where you are, if you are new to learning about your mindset or if you are experienced in practising.  Training your mind to focus on the positive has been proven to have both physical and psychological benefits.

You have the:

The Power to choose how you react 

The power to choose what I think 

The power to choose your next step 

The power to choose what to do now

The Power to choose to step up and serve 

And I know you don’t want your mindset to stand in the way of your amazing life anymore 

The good news?

There’s a simple process for shifting your mindset from scarcity to wildly abundant, growth mindset!

Today my guest is Nancy from Nancy J Designs. She is going to bust a few common sustainability packaging myths for eco friendly products. Because I know there are so many sustainable brands who are really striving to make a bigger impact on our planet but just aren't quite sure when to start when it comes to packaging.

Your ethical consumers maybe are asking “is this packaging paper made from recycled materials?” or  “Is this ink in your packaging soy based?” It’s really surprising how many people take the time to find out more about what they are purchasing! 

During this episode Nancy is also going to discuss:

Trends and new products in the eco packaging world 

Shed some light on different sustainable and recyclable packaging symbols 

Share advice on how you can start changing your packaging today! 

If you want to be inspired and learn more about why it’s important to package your ethical products with sustainable packaging solutions rather than conventional ‘normal’ plastic products then this is the episode for you.

When done right Lead Magnets are a great addition to your overall Ethical Marketing Plan.  Why does it work? Because when you are creating a lead magnet from the heart, something that is truly aligned with your business values and really solves a problem for your consumers it can’t help but grab their attention.  

This kind of marketing involves giving away lots of value and offering absolutely free content to potential customers or leads to your eco business. 

Lead Magnets are NOT when you sell your product, they are to grab the attention.  

You are GIVING before you are TAKING.  

Sharing your knowledge, educating them with eco goodness to help you customers learn and be able to make the right decision.  When you have an email list you can grow your business and be profitable, you can give yourself back time for what really matters, your loved ones! 

In this episode I shared:

Why you need a lead magnet

5 characteristics of an irresistible lead magnet 

Examples of lead magnets to get your creative juices flowing 

How to get people to sign up to it 

The key to success when using your lead magnet in an authentic way lies in having a genuine interest in your customer and their needs. You are going to love these strategies to grow your email list to be overflowing with your dream customers!
