eCom Collab Club™️ 🥞 Manchester by Rainy City

As we wrap up 2024, it’s time to rethink how your store can serve up convenience 🤔 Lucky for you, the bloody legends at Zapiet have been helping 10,000+ Shopify merchants worldwide level up their customer experience. And now, they’re bringing their game-changing insights straight to the eCom Collab Club. Oh yeah, and here's James Hawkins in a hat.

Soooo it's about time we told you what you missed out on last week (Friday fomo in full force)... Our resident legend Alex Reis joined us to talk all things events and partnerships ROI. For anyone who's been living under a rock, Revend have been EVERYWHERE this year so heaven knows he's clued up on the matter 💃 💡Can't be in two places at once? make it happen. And this is where Alan comes in, find someone you trust to represent your band and divide and conquer. 💡Bigger doesn't always mean better (refrain from jokes please). Thinking about sponsoring an event because the leads list has household names? try not to get caught up on the size, think about ICP and intent then make the decision. 💡New to the scene? You won't always know what works for you when it comes to investing in events but do your research and attend a few before making the big decisions when possible. Rebecca, Martin and Chris joined us for an ops discussion (and no, they didn't just talk about spreadsheets, thank god)... 💡Don't get caught up on vanity metrics, yes some data might look more desirable on paper but does that mean it's of most value? Identify key metrics and use them to inform decisions NOT dictate. 💡Manage expectations and timelines, transparency is key and clients appreciate this more than being disappointed later down the line, if something comes up then work with them to find a solution. 💡Top tip for tools? Harvest to time track (thanks us later). 💡Try flipping the proposal if you're struggling to manage client expectations - include what's not included in the quote to avoid awkward conversations at a later date. Feeling that fomo? Tickets available for the finale of 2024 in the comments 👇

Super grateful to be part of the panel 🙏 The alarm went off early to head into Manchester yesterday for the eCom Collab Club™️ 🥞 Manchester by Rainy City - which made for a super productive morning. I was on the panel to discuss all things Agency Ops - get this wrong and you're in a world of pain! A big topic at the moment for agencies of all sizes, and a big focus of mine heading into Winter as I challenge myself to work on the business as much as in the business. I came with a bit of a unique perspective, being the only one-man band agency/consultant so it was really insightful to understand how the guys with 100x the firepower have the same problems/solutions! Some of the topics we floated through: 🚧 How to approach changing briefs, demands and last minute amendments 🤖 Key tools in place to supercharge operational workflow 😱 The biggest screw up that my fellow panellists have ever made Thank you to my fellow panellists Martin Harper, Rebecca Worsley and Rebecca Hughes for making the discussion so seamless! Alex Reis also talked about achieving ROI from events, something I've not thought enough about since starting my own company with some really useful tips to take away. A huge thanks to Molly Bateman and Rebecca Worsley too from Rainy City Agency - Award-Winning Shopify Plus Agency for having me a part of the discussion. Great, as always, to catchup with Alan Pilkington 🍀, Chris Longfellow, James Hawkins, Sam Parry and Tom Mercer #events #digitalmarketing #marketing

Yeah, what they said basically.
