2X eCommerce Podcast

On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Jess Chan, Founder & CEO of Longplay Brands, a full-service eCommerce email and lifecycle marketing agency, and Backbone, a platform designed to streamline email marketing for small eCommerce teams.

 

On her second time on the show, Jess comes back with more insights about email and SMS marketing. Jess Chan started working as a marketing assistant and worked her way up to be the CMO of a multi-million-dollar DTC eCommerce company. She later built her own brand, Longplay Brands.

 

Jess is now one of the top retention marketing experts and her agency, Longplay Brands, built the first email marketing solution tool for DTC companies. Jess shares her expertise in retention marketing through email and SMS. She also talks about retention as being integrated even before customers start purchasing a product and how to build loyalty programs and the ways to maximize these programs to attain retention.

Today’s episode however is special because Jess has now created Backbone, a turnkey email marketing solution for smaller ecommerce teams that replaces the planning and structure a typical email and lifecycle marketing agency renders to smaller ecommerce brands. 

 

It’s an insightful episode as you’d hear Kunle and Jess talk more about retention, email and SMS marketing, building different flows, loyalty programs, post-purchase nurture strategies, and their latest email strategy automation tool, Backbone.
