]]> In this episode, we reveal the top three areas to skyrocket your Shopify store's growth in the upcoming year!

1. Defining your customer, understanding why they buy and building your brand around them.

2. Properly understanding profit, during the age of attribution confusion and better managing stock to boost profit.

3. Mastering email marketing to get repeat orders. Most brands project what they want to, rather than fully understanding what makes customers buy.

It’s so easy for me to provide advice. I do it all day. But not many are out there DOING IT and make a success of their business. It’s funny how many people will pay me, not do the work then  wonder why they are not succeeding.

  • What are the challenges of running an e-commerce store?
  • What are the highs and lows of running your own business?

  • Offline store V’s  online business
  • The fear factor… 
  • Price selling
  • Building loyalty 
  • How important is it that you are more than just trying to sell a “product” You are doing things differently by building a community. “Serving” not "Shouting at people "
  • How many hours a week do you put into this business?
  • What are the next plans for growing  DGF
  • What plans do I have to grow the low carb community in the UK
  • You recently signed up for Just Ask Parker services Why?

  1. How Video Can Help Ecommerce Sales
  2. How to build a Storybrand and understanding the power of storytelling
  3. How Video Builds Trust, Authenticity and Growth for Businesses
  4. How a brand story video establishes you as an expert and thought-leader in your space with an interview and visual storytelling that resonates and earns a customer’s trust and respect/You both educate and empower them by sharing what sets your business apart.
  5. Can you give some examples of eCommerce store that work and doesn’t work
  6. Product based videos - how long what to put in them
  7. I told you about a store who spent $15,000 on videos for his niche or one-off products. Let;s talk about BAD video ideas.
  8. 3 examples - llama, earphones, helmets as knitted hats - testimonial video in abandon cart and cart page, information videos, handle objections, short videos for out bound. Quick exercise - the customer journey funnel - where are people
  9. How videos can be Time-Saving for a small business - How having a 2-3 minute video acts as a 24/7 fleet of salesmen, to effectively establish deeper relationships, quicker while also pre-qualifying prospects. People can know, like and trust you within a few minutes, and know if what you have to offer is for them, so when it’s time for a sales call/check-out page… they've either realized they're not qualified (saving you time from a redundant call)... or they're already pre-suaded, so the length of the sales cycle from first point of contact to deal closed is exponentially decreased.
  10. Why Gear is not as important as you think for Video - authentic natural videos -, gear doesn’t matter as much as the message. 
  11. Let’s talk about Positioning… Can you explain this to my audience  - How to make the most of your video asset, pinned at top social media accounts, sent through messenger, inlaid in your email signatures, introducing you at events, and of course, top of your website. Imagine in 2 minutes, someone getting to know you, your story, and the value you have to give, deeper than even a 10 minute conversation in person would permit them by showing, not telling

Today we’re talking with David Perry who is an expert developer in the gaming industry. David has created multiple successful companies and games, including Aladdin, The Matrix, The Terminator and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. David is wildly successful, with his last two companies being acquired by Sony PlayStation and Atari. He’s won a Development Legend Award. He's spoken all over the world at conferences and universities, even on the cherished TED stage! 

We’re excited to have him on the podcast to talk all things eCommerce and get his unique perspective on the industry. 

David is going to talk about his career, how to be innovative in today’s eCommerce space, the intersection of modern influencer marketing and eCommerce! I’m only covering some of the key takeaways and highlights here in the email. Be sure to go and listen to the full podcast with David over at www.winningwithshopify.com/summit. You can sign up today for free and you’ll get three days full access where you can listen to David’s full interview!

 

Questions I covered:

  • How did David get his start in the gaming industry and what led him to the influencer space?

Once a brand takes the time to fully understand the type of person they are working with, it is easier to benefit from their influence. 
  • A social influencer is more than happy to promote a product that they love. Most influencers want to promote something they believe in, because it makes the promotion authentic and provides a better experience for their social fans and followers. Some influencers will even promote a brand they love for free! As opposed to getting paid to promote a brand they aren’t personally invested in.
  • Uncover how influencers interact with and view brands that need influencer promotion. David is developing an Influencer technology platform to help brands and influencers connect and find products. There are plenty of features that will be added in the upcoming months.

 Quotes:

  • “We talk about how much money we get paid for things. And I was really surprised to find out how many people, Instagramers, and bloggers don't charge for a lot of stuff…So go to your biggest unicorn of a person and reach out and say, “Hey, what are your ad rates?”. So that you know the top of the line… and then you can work back from there based on somebody's audience who's your second and third choice [to] you know your 34th and whatnot.’
  • “Majority of my traffic is coming from Google or it's coming from Pinterest. With regards to the influencers that I would then want to choose to work with, I actually wouldn't, I really haven't worked prioritize Instagram because personally as an influencer, I don't see any ROI when I promote products on my, on my Instagram, so I can see what's selling and what's not selling.”

Keep listening I have 50 ways to help you get more sales! 

I started this podcast originally to help small Shopify Store Merchants, merchants who were earning under about 20,000 a month. I know there are many great podcasts out there and I've had a couple of them invited here in my Podcast. however, what I found was while their Podcasts are brilliant. especially in high-level, I realize that these certain strategies and tactics are too early for most people especially to those who are in the early stage of their business.

So that's when I came to the conclusion that I had to release a podcast that was really only intended for Newbie merchants. So if you're just starting out, even if you've got a huge budget, but if you're just starting out or if you have been going at this for a while and you haven't hit that 10 20 30,000 a month yet, then this is definitely the podcast for you!

And right now, sitting at episode 50 I thought, how could I celebrate this occasion in the best way possible? I started this podcast to help as many people as possible. So I thought, why not give away five free sessions with made each of them for 50 minutes?

After more than 20 years in the industry and 15 years in online marketing, there is a constant issue that I see over and over that we will go through in this episode.

Few points we cover in this episode:

  • The difference between offline and online business and why now is the perfect time.
  • Why it's fine not to have technical skills to start an online business.
  • Few things that HAVE to happen to make sure you succeed.
  • Brutally honest reality that people need to hear
