E-commerce businesses and e-commerce brands are two very different beasts. While e-commerce businesses focus on trendy products and leveraging arbitrage for quick profits, brands are built on long-term relationships. A successful brand focuses on delivering a great customer experience, driving repeat purchases, and building word-of-mouth referrals. This strategy is how brands grow to eight figures, while most e-commerce businesses hit their ceiling at around $1M a year. Learn the key differences and how you can scale your brand to the next level!

More SKUs = more problems? 🤔 Juggling thousands of SKUs is often a marathon with no end in sight. Every new SKU adds layers of complexity, prolonging your e-commerce onboarding. In this months Against The Grain, we scrutinize merchandising your entire catalog when first launching your e-commerce store. We crunched the data to understand whether the juice is worth the squeeze. What did we find? It might not be a surprise to discover that most of your revenue comes from a small fraction of your products. But just how small? Well, a few thousand SKUs can account for up to 98% of your total sales (see graph below 👇 ) In this issue, we discuss why slimming down your SKU list at launch can lead to leaner operations, a significant reduction in your implementation timeline, and improve your e-commerce ROI.

Happy Monday! Your weekly reminder that for most e-commerce brands more locations does not = better. Can it have benefits? Sure. Can it be a good fit for some large brands with big teams, big tech, and big budgets? It can. But don't be distracted by shiny objects. More locations = more complexity: ✴ Inbound logistics and drayage—inventory imported to the U.S. must be split and mapped to more locations. As this number goes up, so does the likelihood of needing to split containers and send pallets to smaller/less popular locations via LTL ✴ Inventory balancing—as number of locations increases, so do the chances of inter-fulfillment-location balancing (or sending parcels from a non-optimal location) ✴ Split shipments—for brands with multiple SKUs, chances of fulfilling partial orders from 2 or more locations increases. This can easily create a negative experience for the end customer

I hear that D2C brands face a steep climb in the quick-commerce arena, paying commissions as high as 30-45% to quick commerce platforms - well above the 10-20% that larger FMCG companies bear. This high cost of entry, compounded by significant spends on advertising and discounts, is pushing total expenses up to nearly 90% of sales revenue. Is this just a zero-sum game where visibility on these platforms doesn't necessarily translate to long-term viability? And does slapping a label on a product and securing a spot in a quick-commerce lineup truly establish a brand?
