Ep 96: The eCommerce Platform Arms Race with Rick Watson, eCommerce Strategy Consultant


We discuss building a personal brand on LinkedIn, the pros and cons of Gartner’s magic quadrant, his role at the MACH Alliance and how they fit into the ecosystem, the Shopify versus Commercetools debate, the rise and fall of Magento and who will be the dominate platform in 10 yrs time.

………….

A quick word from my sponsor Omnisend.

You might’ve heard things like “email marketing is expensive,” “has low ROI,” or “is too complicated.” Now, what if I told you these are all myths?

In reality, email marketing can be affordable, bring in a great return on investment, and is incredibly straightforward. Or at least, all that is true if you use Omnisend, the email & SMS marketing platform used by more than 100,000 ecommerce brands to attract, convert and keep new customers.

Omnisend is intuitive, packed with pre-built templates and automation workflows, and guess what? It's also 40% cheaper than the leading ecommerce marketing platform.

So, don’t let myths hold you back. Experience email marketing that really sells with Omnisend.

Enjoy ✌️
