I’ve seen hundreds of startups pitch to angel investors and venture capitalists, and most of them—at best— are just okay.

In my daily work with ecommerce brands, I see two types of companies: The first type focuses on acquisition and conversion. The second relies on retention. The second type is winning. Why? Overall acquisition costs for both B2C and B2B have gone up by 50% in the past five years. Sooner or later, relying on new customers will break you. To offset these costs, you need to earn more repeat purchases from existing customers.

If you’re running an online business such as an e-commerce store, it is essential to give payment processing consideration as much as the shopping experience. After all, the checkout is your customer’s last stop, and this is where they’ll finally pay you for your products and services.

It’s where you live, work, learn, play, and raise your family. And (to put it in Valentine’s Day terms) you want others to love your community as much as you do.

Upset about flakey people, bored of the monotony of grabbing a drink with mediocre conversation and done with all the texting games they wanted better. When I moved here, I had never really gone on dates with people I didn’t know before. I didn’t jump on that train until a couple of years later when dating apps became the norm.
