In today’s episode, my guest is Andrew Chan the Co-Founder & CMO of AfterShip. 

AfterShip is a post-purchase tracking and notification platform for Shopify ecommerce businesses ranging in size from SMB to mid-market to large enterprises. While most ecommerce solutions focus on customer touchpoints up to the moment they click “Purchase,” AfterShip prides itself on strengthening brands’ post-purchase experience including improving the returns process, providing more accurate order arrival data, and streamlining updates to customers after purchase. 

More and more brands are starting to realize that the post-purchase experience is part of the brand experience and is a major driver of repeat business. Because repeat customers are the lifeblood of businesses they cost less to acquire than new customers, spend more than new customers, and can act as brand ambassadors. It is becoming more and more important that retailers provide top-notch post-purchase experiences. 

No other ecommerce business offers the same robust ecosystem of post-purchase products as AfterShip and leading merchants on the Shopify ecommerce platform, top marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Groupon, Rakuten, and Wish), and major retail brands like Good American, Harry’s, Gymshark, Blenders Eyewear, Pura Vida Bracelets, and Kylie Skin all turn to AfterShip for their post-purchase needs.

As people increasingly engage in online shopping, it is now more important than ever for online retailers to have a strong post-purchase strategy.

In today’s episode, my guest is Paul Benegeri the CEO and Co-Founder of Archive, the makers of the Archive App.

Often, hundreds of assets a day are created by a Shopify brand's top influencers and customers, and most of that data and content disappears in 24 hours. Losing all of this community creativity is massively wasteful. The Archive App is the only Shopify App that automatically detects and saves Instagram posts, stories, and reels your brand gets tagged in for future marketing initiatives.

My guest today is Mark Yeramian the Co-Founder of Moast.io

Moast allows Shopify brands to get their products in front of their customers, wherever their customers are shopping from. While the costs of launching a direct-to-consumer brand have come down dramatically, getting retail distribution is still costly and time-consuming. As a result, the segment of consumers that still like to touch and feel products before purchasing online is left largely disregarded. 

With Moast, Shopify businesses can turn their best customers into ''Hosts'' who hold product meetups with prospective customers, allowing them to see, touch, and experience the product before purchasing online. This social retail program allows Shopify e-commerce brands to reduce their rates of returns and eliminate the pressures of retail.
