In this post, I share the pricing for our services for retailers since 2017. In some case, we took a step forward and a step back--it wasn't linear progress. We've drawn inspiration from many sources, including our competitors and Tinder.

Presenting bundles is not limited to signing up for a service. A ...

TikTok Tick-Tock ⏳: Time Is Running Out on Traditional Retail

How social media influencers with the help of Amazon are bypassing brick-and-mortar retail shops

May 23, 2024

Kiara Springs, a 25-year old, is part of a new retail trend, shares The New York Times. She sells about $10k/month online but doesn’t own a brick-and-mortar retail store, pay a landlord rent, go to the wholesale markets, or have a POS system. Her “sidewalk” to get traffic is TikTok, and her “POS” is Amazon. Her “stockroom” is the brand’s warehouse. She has an Amazon affiliate account and goods are drop shipped.
