The big day is approaching! Yes, you’re about to launch your first (or maybe fifth) product. You want the experience to be perfect for your audience. What your team does before the launch is just as important as what you do on launch day. And it all starts with early engagement —spreading your message as soon as possible to pique people’s interests and encourage sales.

This week I take a look at some simple things Magnolia Market in Waco, TX does to purchase Word of Mouth. For those that don’t know Chip and Joanna Gaines, hosts of the HGTV show Fixer Upper are a designer and contractor team that help people get their dream homes by buying houses that need a lot of work. Part of what is really cool about the examples I share in the video directly correlate to their “brand beliefs.” Anyone who has watched even a couple of their shows knows how

Getting an email signup of a potential buyer is important. But getting a signup irrespective of whether the potential customer is interested or not isn’t important. Elevatedfaith.com homepage shows this email signup slide out element: The user enters their email and is given a chance to spin the virtual wheel for a discount. Is this really the best way to get high-quality signups?

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

When someone subscribes to your newsletter, what does the very first email look like? What type content does it have? Is it a general promotional email that everyone else on your list is getting? Or is it a special “welcome email” that kicks off a “welcome flow” that is designed to better acquaint subscribers with you and, most importantly, buy more?

Landing pages and ecommerce go hand in hand. At some point, your ecommerce store needs advertisements to drive traffic. Well, those ads need to send potential customers to a landing page. The same goes for inbound links from blogs and publications. If your visitors don't land on a relevant landing page, they're going to be rather confused. So the big question is which landing page software should you choose.

Visa has declared a “war on cash” — a somewhat melodramatic campaign to support its business model, which is based on the interchange fees Visa charges at the POS. The credit card company has even gone so far as to offer some merchants $10,000 to upgrade their POS equipment in exchange for refusing cash payments. The move has caught the eye of at least one politician, New Jersey state Assemblyman Paul Moriarty, who introduced legislation to make it illegal for retailers to refuse to accept cash

My wife just closed the books on MyWifeQuitHerJob.com for the first half of the year and the results are better than I anticipated. To be honest, I was expecting the numbers to be flat because MyWifeQuitHerJob.com hasn’t been my focus for the first half of 2017. If you recall, last year I finally hit the million dollar mark with my blog and after hitting that milestone, I decided to switch gears a bit to spend more time on Bumblebee Linens and to start a brand new project instead.

While the “retail apocalypse” narrative is nonsense , it’s clear that we are witnessing a major contraction in traditional retail space. Store closings have tripled year over year and more surely loom on the horizon. The “death of the mall” narrative also tilts to the hyperbolic, but in many ways it is the end of the mall as we know it , as dozens close and even larger number are getting re-invented in ways big and small.
