A few months ago, my nephew and I came up with an epic idea for a T-shirt company.
It began when I asked when he planned to come out and visit Adaora and me again.
He said he needed to get the funds first; so I proposed we sell t-shirts to get the money that he needed. We decided that he’d design them, and I’ll sell them through Facebook and IG ads.
And boom. Just like that, we had an e-commerce company.
Even before COVID-19 disrupted the economy and the way we shop, e-commerce was a trillion dollar industry in the U.S. alone.
E-commerce has revolutionized our ability to sell products directly to consumers without having to go through gatekeepers or big box retail.
Now, while it is relatively easy to get your product loaded onto Etsy or Shopify, marketing that product can be quite a task.
That is where e-commerce consultants like Veena Gandhi step in. Veena is a strategic digital marketer who specializes in providing creative and innovative solutions to advertising agencies, small businesses, start-ups, and entrepreneurs on the cluttered world of the Internet.
She is also the founder of Digital Street, which is a marketing agency that builds successful sales funnels for fashion, beauty, lifestyle and fitness e-commerce brands.
Whether you’re a seasoned brand or are just getting started in e-commerce, this interview will serve you.
Rather than just giving general information you could google for yourself, Veena got down to the nitty-gritty of how to build a successful e-commerce campaign.
