Shopify debuts Canvas, a creator calls out brands that don't pay, ThredUp goes all-in on live selling with Whatnot, and Under Armour reconnects with football.
It's the consumer's daily show — Ecomm Cowboy — where we break down the stories moving retail and DTC, then sit down with the operators building through it.
Today guest hosts Jimmy Kim (Commerce Roundtable) and Cody Wittick (Kynship) join Chris Hall and Colin Dougherty.
ON TODAY'S EPISODE
Sean McGinnis — Founder, Steady GrowthWe dig into growth, org design, and operating discipline from someone who's led teams responsible for $130M+ in revenue — the problem that surfaced in almost every one of a dozen recent founder calls, why he pulled a profitable $10.5M paid search account in-house at Sears PartsDirect, cutting 900K of 1.2M keywords, the four-sizes-bigger site text that lifted KURU's conversion 10%+, what breaks first when a $5M playbook hits $20M, and when to hire a President/COO instead of an advisor.
Bryan Bumgardner — NorthbeamWe dig into the Northbeam Weather Report — a fast read on what the data says about spend, performance, and where the market's heading into Q4 and Black Friday.
Ben Sehl — Product Director, Online Store, ShopifyWe dig into Canvas, launched today — what we're actually looking at, why Shopify wants merchants designing their store while everyone else ships agents that do it for them, the wildest redesign he's seen someone pull off, and where Canvas takes storefronts a year from now.
