The pandemic showed us something interesting. A world where online shopping is the norm, but… The aftermath has revealed some significant challenges. Especially with delivery services. Crazy fees and unsustainable business models are highlighting a critical crossroads for e-commerce and delivery startups, especially those trying to address the ‘last mile’ phenomenon. My recent experiences with seemingly simple orders breaking the bank is making me think about just how sustainable these services are long-term. Doesn’t seem like the delivery of a $10 burrito to your front door from the restaurant should end up costing you $30 after everyone gets their piece. This crossroads is going to force delivery and e-commerce businesses to innovate and find a balance that offers value to consumers without compromising on service quality. The future of online commerce depends on our ability to adapt and evolve in the response to these emerging challenges.

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit some of our customers and had some interaction with them. You see, having a physical meeting with people that keeps you in business can not be overemphasized because there are a lot of learnings you will get from them that Google Forms won't fully capture. Marketers and businesses need to take a little break from Google Forms (I'm not saying it's not an important way of getting feedback, it is). Create time to visit their customers in person to understand what their needs are because you'll be shocked that there are a lot of things that a customer would reveal to you when you sit with them. These visits do not only give customers the assurance that you care for them. It also increases loyalty in the long run because of the time you've created for he and understand what their needs are, as well as how satisfied they are with your service. When you visit customers what are the key questions you always ask them? Kindly leave your comments in the comment section so we can all improve on what you ask to get quality feedback. #healthtech #Healthcare #startup #startupmarketing #marketing

Colin Huang isn't a household name outside of China, but he's one of the world's richest people. Huang is the founder and former CEO of Pinduoduo, a gamified online marketplace connecting buyers and sellers.

Great morning at eCom Collab Club™ 🥞 London Amazing to hear from agencies, tech partners and brands! Key takeaways for 2024: - Email is going to be even more important without tracking cookies but we could face lower open rates (anyone on Shopify will have got about 30 emails about this last night 🤣) - Acquiring customers is expensive and its only getting more expensive. So how can we retain them and increase LTV while acquiring high quality customers in the first place? - Data is even more important than in 2023. We can no longer rely on Google Analytics or FB ads for accurate data. We need to be collecting more first party data and making informed decisions based on this If you're a brand or an agency, get in touch as RE:INVENT can help solve all 3! p.s. we just got named as one of the UK top 100 startups.

The % of female-founded startups (and their funding) is abysmal. But research shows that female-led companies consistently outperform others! How can we empower more women to build companies? By sharing our hard-won knowledge and tools about what it takes to get started. Before I founded my first company, the process of starting up seemed so daunting. Fast forward years later, and I have a few tips to share that can help demystify the process for others. I'm excited to speak with the Girl Geek X Community next week about my journey from big tech (Google) to founding Halo. If you're thinking about making the leap, send me whatever questions you have and I'll work them into my talk. #startups #femalefounders #womenintech #femaleentrepreneurs
