👨Your customer is a human, not just another ticket. Matthieu Maloux, CEO & former CRO at easiware, has a strong conviction. It is paramount that customer support agents be equipped to respond to queries in a context-specific manner. Why? Ensuring a consistent experience across all channels- email, social media, phone, messenger pigeon etc- is key to forging lifelong relationships with customers and increasing repurchase. This is particularly true for the post-purchase phase: if an e-tailer fails personalize the customer experience after purchase, the customer “won’t give them a second chance” (Matthieu’s words!) And the data checks out: our recent study found that 𝟕𝟐% 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. Discover the full 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐮𝐩 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬 podcast episode 👉 https://lnkd.in/eB27pqBU

Happy Shipup anniversary Angélique Wan and Léa BROCHARD We couldn’t be where we are today without Angie, Senior Talent Acquisition Manager Business, who for 4 years now has been building the team from the ground up. 🚀 Onboard Shipup since 2020, Angélique Wan was motivated by the opportunity to evolve in a small team where she could have a real impact. With a 50+ strong team of Shipuppers today, compared to just 15 when Angie joined, it’s safe to say that she has certainly succeeded in her mission! 👶 Having recently welcomed her first child, Angie currently splits her workdays between our office in Paris 9 and her home (we allow both!) to make the most of her little one. Léa BROCHARD swiftly climbed the ranks from Product Director to CPTO (Chief Product and Technology Officer) at Shipup, just 9 months after joining in 2022. At the intersection between design, business, and tech, Léa is passionate about shaping products in a sector as new and innovative as post-purchase - watch this space 👀

Today, we celebrate our 8-year anniversary 🎂 2016. The year Facebook marketplace launched, Shopify's revenue grew 90% year-over-year and Brexit changed online trade across the Channel forever. It was a huge year for eCommerce, and even more so for post-purchase. Because in a wee Parisian apartment, three graduates who’d met on exchange in New York— Térence Delahaye, Quentin Maurice and Romain Ogiela— set out on a mission to transform the post-purchase experience for online retailers. Proactive order updates. Fully branded tracking pages. Revenue-retaining returns. The dream quickly turned into a reality and by 2017, Shipup was incubated by Veepee and Zendesk at STATION F, the world’s largest startup campus. We gained our very first customers including Camif, Withings, émoi émoi, 1001hobbies and Cheerz.com. Shout out to Laurent Partouche and Clément Thibault and for supporting us from the very beginning 💙 In 2018, we secured a €1.2 million seed round, putting us on the track for growth. Then came the year that changed everything for us: a 6 million € series A round with Elaia and Bpifrance in 2020. We more than doubled our team during that period, hiring 30 new Shipuppers. In 2022, Shipup was acquired by Global Blue. And that, dear LinkedIn readers, brings us to 2023. Just last year, when Agop Ashjian had the pleasure of taking command of the Ship. Coming from the Shipup employee that’s writing this: it’s truly a pleasure to work with such incredible people everyday, building such an exciting product. I hope my colleagues feel the same. We are absolutely thrilled to see what this next year of Shipup will bring. We’ve already got some big announcements up our sleeves — more on that shortly. For now, cheers to eight years 🎉

Google has recently tested a full-width rich card section at the top of search results for eCommerce queries, as pointed out by Brodie Clark. It’s a stark reminder that online retailers must be constantly alert when it comes to customer acquisition trends. Some online brands that have mastered this art include Universal Works and Charlotte Tilbury Beauty. But for an online retailer to truly stand out, they must look beyond acquisition and focus on retention, offering a memorable experience after purchase.
