In today’s episode, my guest is Andrew Chan the Co-Founder & CMO of AfterShip. AfterShip is a post-purchase tracking and notification platform for Shopify ecommerce businesses ranging in size from SMB to mid-market to large enterprises. While most ecommerce solutions focus on customer touchpoints up to the moment they click “Purchase,” AfterShip prides itself on strengthening brands’ post-purchase experience including improving the returns process, providing more accurate order arrival data, and streamlining updates to customers after purchase. More and more brands are starting to realize that the post-purchase experience is part of the brand experience and is a major driver of repeat business. Because repeat customers are the lifeblood of businesses they cost less to acquire than new customers, spend more than new customers, and can act as brand ambassadors. It is becoming more and more important that retailers provide top-notch post-purchase experiences. No other ecommerce business offers the same robust ecosystem of post-purchase products as AfterShip and leading merchants on the Shopify ecommerce platform, top marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Groupon, Rakuten, and Wish), and major retail brands like Good American, Harry’s, Gymshark, Blenders Eyewear, Pura Vida Bracelets, and Kylie Skin all turn to AfterShip for their post-purchase needs.As people increasingly engage in online shopping, it is now more important than ever for online retailers to have a strong post-purchase strategy.  Get the Shopify ecommerce podcast show notes, full transcripts, actionable DTC marketing strategies, and tips to fast-track the growth and profitability of your Shopify ecommerce business.LEARN MORE at eCommerceFastlane.com and eCommerceFastlanePodcast.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
