eCommerce Expo

✨ Proud Host Moment! ✨ Last night, I had the pleasure of hosting my first-ever industry leaders evening at the lovely MR.FOGG'S in Mayfair, bringing together an incredible group of past and (potentially 😉) future speakers for eCommerce Expo and Technology for Marketing and now IMRG. 🎉 It was super-duper rewarding to gather so many smart and inspiring individuals for an evening of conversation, connection, and, of course, fabulous cocktails. 🍸 Going forward my goal is to not only build out an advisory board from this talented bunch, but also ensure we're looking after our industry leaders as best we can (yep they need a little TLC too). A special shout out to everyone who attended and made the night so memorable – your support and energy mean so much. And yes, I did give a speech. Enjoy the photo of me looking terrified... To speak in front of seasoned speakers.... think about it. 🙃 And of course, some thank you's! My boss AND bosses-boss, Lily and Graeme for supporting my vision! 🤩 The team who helped out and who I can never speak highly enough of, Shannon & Laura. 💃 The fab peeps who captured the evening, including Seb and Rachel! 📸📽️ See you next time! 👀

Bring out the Moët! ‘Networking’ can fill me with dread, imposter syndrome anyone? But our Speaker Drinks last night were truly a pleasure. I learnt some stuff, met some new people and caught up with familiar faces. A bit of industry chat, some great storytellers and genuinely a good laugh. Thank you everyone! A lovely evening and genuine connections, hosted by the amazing Alyssia Smith 🥂 The first annual event methinks? Looking forward to seeing further collaboration across our advisory board, panels & stages for 2025 and beyond. eCommerce Expo, Technology for Marketing & IMRG

eCommerce isn’t for the faint-hearted! Which one keeps you up at night? 👻 📦 Discovering an item is “out of stock” after customers have ordered — The horror of realising you’ve got orders to fulfil… but no inventory. 🛒 The Phantom Cart Syndrome — Customers load up their carts, raising hopes—and then poof, they vanish at checkout. Conversion rate? Ghosted. 📉 The website crashes on Black Friday — You’ve prepared for months, traffic spikes, and your website vanishes just as the sales start rolling in. 🎫 Launching a promo with the wrong discount code — The campaign goes live, but the code is too generous… or worse, it doesn’t work at all. Chaos ensues. 📧 The “urgent” request to swap out a product image after it’s gone live everywhere — You’ve just sent the campaign live, and suddenly they want a new hero image… on every single platform. Any more horror stories? 🎃 #eCommerce #Retail #Halloween #HorrorStories #CustomerExperience

I didn't want to miss sharing this: Last month I attended to the eCommerce Expo with my online trading team Aaliyah Wright Abigail Pickard and it was such an insightful and fun event!!🎉 One of the standout talks for me was "How to win this Black Friday," which left us well-prepared for the upcoming promotional seasons🛍️🛒 Is everyone ready for the excitement of Black Friday?👀 #eCommerce #Networking #Learning

📈 IMRG’s Weekly Ecommerce Round-up Retailers have started to look ahead to the peak season with greater confidence after the positive results recorded for online sales in September (+3.6% Year-on-Year). Though Wk3 of October saw the sharpest decline tracked by IMRG in nine weeks (-3.8% YoY), it is likely because the same week in 2023 was a tough comparator owing to the great British weather causing growth in product categories such as clothing. Retailers are waiting with great anticipation for what the final week of October will bring, being the final figures before ‘Black November’ begins. Health & Beauty continues to be the top performing product category tracked by IMRG, which is especially unsurprising for this month where many customers will have been preparing for their spooky Halloween looks. Keep an eye out for our post next Friday where we will reveal the final result for October! 🗣️ Andy Mulcahy, Strategy & Insight Director at IMRG #ecommerce #onlineretail #imrg #halloween #blacknovember
