Ecommerce Magazine

***Recently, SCOTTeVEST's CEO has created controversy since making subversive remarks about his customers and Fox viewers. This article was written and published before those remarks, and Ecommerce Magazine does not condone them.***

Scott Jordan is the founder of SCOTTeVEST, an innovative clothing brand focused on revolutionizing the garment industry for the digital era. However, many remember him for his contentious appearance on ABC’s Shark Tank, where he famously and obstinately told the panel of judges, “You’re out. I don’t need you,” refusing to accept their offer.

But behind the character he played during his 15 minutes of reality-TV fame is man who believes deeply in his product and is 100% devoted to maintaining and growing a thriving business.

The global economy has made travel, whether for business or pleasure, easier than ever before. But when it comes to luggage, things aren’t so simple.

With clunky suitcases that offer travelers no organizational elements, forcing them to dump their electronics, toiletries, and dirty laundry together in one bag, it’s no wonder that frequent travel often becomes more of a burden than a pleasure.

Laura Benson, owner of the online boutique Filly Flair, is the kind of person who emits a sincerity rarely seen in the business world today. With her cascades of blonde hair and winning smile, you might mistake her for one of the models on her website.

But Laura has the soul of an entrepreneur, and the story of Filly Flair is all the proof one needs that with a great idea, a little gumption and a lot of hard work, the sky's the limit.

Even though the traditional “gift-giving” season has passed and we’re now in the throes of January (and fighting to stick with those New Year’s resolutions), gift-giving and shopping for those you love is not irrelevant. Valentine’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries, and the happy event of a random surprise often leave family and friends seeking a more personal, unique gift for the people who matter most to them. That’s why it’s helpful – and rewarding - to turn to small, independent businesses.      

Since Shopify came onto the scene in 2006, it has transformed the landscape of ecommerce. As a complete ecommerce solution for growing businesses, it allows customers to sell their products online with ease, offering unbeatable features like customized storefronts, the ability to track and respond to online orders, and to accept card payments from the shop. 

If you've ever shopped online, it's likely that Tiffany Lin has had an impact on your digital life in some way. With a career including jobs at McKinsey, Gilt, and Cover FX, she has played a vital role in skyrocketing companies to success in the digital world. 

The world of ecommerce is growing by the day, with new shops, technology, and innovations popping up all the time. Sometimes the business world moves so fast that there’s little time to showcase all the fantastic things people are doing, and to celebrate their unique visions and voices.

For some, buying a designer handbag is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For others, it may be a yearly occasion. But regardless of how often you head out to purchase a luxury bag, there’s no doubting that it’s a big investment.

For anyone in the digital commerce industry -- whether you're a burgeoning startup or a corporate giant -- sometimes the best way to optimize conversions is to hire an agency with years of expertise in the field.

We all know that learning and development is critical to maintaining a successful company, but when you’re starting or growing your ecommerce business, you rarely have much time to sleep, let alone read a long book or attend a seminar.
