How to Make Your Email Flows Do the Selling | #647
How to Make Your Email Flows Do the Selling | #647 Jul 24, 2026 1366 Most email teams pour their week into campaigns. The Tuesday send, the launch, the sale out the door by Thursday. Meanwhile their flows quietly out-earn all of it in the background, and almost nobody goes back to optimise them.That's the beauty and the drawback of flows. Once they're built they run on their own, making money while you sleep, which is exactly why they get left alone. A ti

How to Get More From the Tools You Already Pay For |  #644
How to Get More From the Tools You Already Pay For | #644 Jul 17, 2026 917 Ecommerce has never had more tools, and it's never been less clear which one is doing what. Every new AI tool that lands overlaps with three you already run, and half of them get absorbed into something else within months.So when something in the business isn't working, the instinct is to go and buy the next thing that'll fix it. But the problem usually isn't the tools. Most op

Four Shopify apps with animal mascots. A clear view of where the ecosystem is heading.If you've been in the Australian Shopify scene for any length of time, you've heard Martin's name.

How to Get More From Influencers by Spending Less | #642
How to Get More From Influencers by Spending Less | #642 Jul 10, 2026 887 Influencer marketing is still a young line item, the pricing is all over the shop, and you can spend real money on a creator without ever being sure what you got back. So plenty of teams treat it with one eyebrow raised.But the problem was never influencers. Most brands treat influence as one big post, from one big name, a single moment they hope lands. The brands getting real value treat it as a
Doesn't Cost You Anything to Do Good: Rohan McCloskey on Building GoGenerosity | #641
Doesn't Cost You Anything to Do Good: Rohan McCloskey on Building GoGenerosity | #641 Jul 6, 2026 3944 Rohan McCloskey refunded $350,000 in donations, gave up his salary for a year, and nearly lost everything. He's still building GoGenerosity. And he'd do it again.That kind of conviction usually comes from one of two places: delusion or proof. In Rohan's case it's the latter. One in six customers at his best-performing store donate every single time they shop. Ninety-eight perce
How to Ask for Help Before You Need It | #640
How to Ask for Help Before You Need It | #640 Jul 3, 2026 947 Ecommerce is still a young industry, and it's moving faster than anyone in ecommerce can keep up with. Nobody has all the answers, and the pressure to act as if you do can leave you in a precarious position.The ecommerce leaders who go furthest aren't the ones who faked it. They're the ones who asked for help early, while they were still learning, and kept doing it the whole way alo

How to Choose the Right Marketing Channels Using Data | #638
How to Choose the Right Marketing Channels Using Data | #638 Jun 26, 2026 903 Most ecommerce teams are still arguing about channel split the same way they were five years ago. Meta versus Google, who gets the budget, who gets the credit. The argument usually gets won by whoever's most confident, not whoever's most right.The deeper issue is the data underneath it. Every ad platform is built to over-claim, because the more credit it takes, the more budget you hand i

How Kathmandu Pulled Off a Four-Month Shopify Migration Mid Flash Sale | #637 Jun 22, 2026 3142 Craig Mildenhall did not start in ecommerce.He started in loyalty. Years at Loyalty New Zealand.
