You’ll learn why the best communities are built around real needs, how to keep people engaged long-term, and why helping first often creates stronger business opportunities later.

In this episode of The eCom Growth Show, Danan Coleman sits down with Drew Cooper, Head of Sales at Expandly, to break down the real difference between simply selling internationally and truly expanding into overseas markets.

If you are an eCommerce founder thinking about entering the UK or Europe, this conversation covers the operational and strategic realities most brands underestimate. Drew shares what it takes to build a sustainable international expansion plan, including how to think about VAT, customs, compliance, localization, fulfilment, inventory placement, customer experience, and marketplace readiness.

They also unpack one of the biggest mistakes brands make: assuming cross-border shipping is the same thing as real international expansion. From testing demand to deciding when to place stock in-region, this episode is packed with practical advice for brands that want to scale the right way.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The difference between selling cross-border and expanding internationally

• When shipping from your home country stops being the best model

• Why localization matters more than most brands think

• Common mistakes with VAT, customs, and compliance

• Why the UK is often the smartest first step for US brands

• How fulfilment speed and returns impact conversion in Europe

• What founders should do before committing to UK or EU expansion

Whether you sell on Amazon, Shopify, or both, this episode will help you better understand what international growth really requires before you invest time, money, and inventory into a new market.

In this episode of The eCom Growth Show, Danan Coleman sits down with global sourcing expert Lyden Smithers, who oversees more than $100M in annual eCommerce sales, to break down why China continues to dominate global manufacturing, even in the face of tariffs and “China Plus One” strategies.

From negotiating better payment terms to navigating Canton Fair like a pro, Lyden reveals what separates transactional buyers from long-term supplier partners, and why most sellers are approaching factories the wrong way.

If you're sourcing products for Amazon, Shopify, or TikTok Shop, this conversation could dramatically improve your margins, leverage, and supply chain stability.

In this episode, we cover:

○ Why extended payment terms are about leverage, not just cash flow

○ The #1 negotiation mistake sellers make with factories

○ Why face-to-face meetings in China unlock better pricing & exclusivity

○ The truth about moving manufacturing to Vietnam, Mexico, and beyond

○ What most sellers misunderstand about tariffs

○ How to use Canton Fair as a strategic advantage

○ Why pre-shipment inspections are non-negotiable

○ How to turn your supplier into a true business partner

Lyden also shares insights from his China Magic Trip, where he takes eCommerce founders directly to Canton Fair to build high-level supplier relationships the right way.

He also consults both brands and agencies in the Amazon space.

But the real growth happens after the click and after the purchase.

In this episode of The eCom Growth Show, Danan Coleman speaks with Pietro Mappers, founder of Success Mappers, about how understanding the Amazon customer journey can dramatically improve conversions, reduce ad costs, and drive long-term brand loyalty.

Pietro has been building and scaling Amazon brands in Europe since 2017, first with his own Amazon store and later through his agency helping brands expand across Amazon EU marketplaces. In this conversation, he breaks down how sellers can think beyond listings and ads to optimize every touchpoint that influences a buyer’s decision.

You’ll learn why the main image might be the highest ROI optimization on Amazon, how keyword intent reveals exactly what customers want, and why post-purchase experience and packaging can create repeat buyers and referrals.

If you want to compete in today’s crowded Amazon marketplace, understanding the full customer journey, from first click to repeat purchase is essential.

What You’ll Learn:

• What the Amazon customer journey really looks like

• Why your main image can dramatically increase click-through rate

• The biggest optimization opportunities most sellers miss

• How keyword intent reveals customer behavior

• Why packaging and post-purchase experience drive long-term growth

• The order Amazon sellers should prioritize when optimizing listings

As competition on Amazon increases, the brands that win are the ones that optimize every step of the buying journey, not just the listing.

But what if the real competitive edge in eCommerce isn’t more automation, it’s automating something that actually feels human?

In this episode of The eCom Growth Show, Danan Coleman sits down with Rick Elmore, founder of Simply Noted, to explore how brands are scaling authentic, real pen-written communication, without adding manual work.

Simply Noted has built the world’s only fully automated handwritten mail platform (backed by nine patents), allowing eCommerce brands to send completely customized, real ink, pen-written notes triggered directly from Shopify, Klaviyo, HubSpot, Go High Level, Salesforce, Zapier, and more.

This isn’t printed font pretending to be personal.

This is real ink. Real stamps. Real envelopes. Fully automated.

In a digital world overflowing with AI-generated noise, Rick explains why the physical mailbox has become one of the most underutilized growth channels and how brands are using it to:

◉ Increase customer lifetime value (LTV)

◉ Drive repeat purchases

◉ Improve referral rates

◉ Win back abandoned carts

◉ Strengthen brand loyalty in the critical first 30 days

◉ Differentiate in an AI-dominated marketplace

You’ll also learn how to dynamically insert one-time discount codes into handwritten notes, automate purchase anniversaries, trigger mail directly from CRM workflows, and integrate physical touchpoints into your customer journey without operational overhead.

If you’re serious about retention, loyalty, and long-term brand equity, this episode will change how you think about automation.

Danan Coleman is an expert in the Amazon field. He's been actively selling on Amazon since 2010 and in the SaaS and Service network for Amazon sellers since 2018. After helping companies like ManageByStats and Carbon6 scale and be sold, he started his eCom Triage [https://ecomtriage.com] to help sellers with solutions to complicated and seemingly impossible tasks like removing negative reviews and detecting critical and detrimental changes to your product detail pages. He also consults both brands and agencies in the Amazon space.

He explains that he made the switch because he wanted more freedom and the ability to scale his business. Vincenzo emphasizes the importance of having multiple sources of income and taking calculated risks. He also discusses the next steps for sellers who are already successful on Amazon, including expanding market dominance and increasing the lifetime value of customers.

In today’s Amazon ecosystem, the sellers who survive — and scale — are the ones plugged into the right communities before problems hit. Suspensions, IP complaints, supply chain enforcement, and sudden policy changes don’t come with warnings… unless you’re already in the rooms where that information is shared.

In this episode of The eCom Growth Show, host Danan Coleman sits down with Ed Rosenberg, founder of ASGTG (Amazon Sellers Group) and one of the most trusted voices in the Amazon seller ecosystem. With over 25 years in eCommerce, Ed explains why serious sellers rely on communities like ASGTG to stay compliant, identify risk early, and adapt as Amazon continues to professionalize and tighten enforcement.

If you sell on Amazon — or plan to — this episode breaks down why information, community, and timing have become competitive advantages, and why the most serious operators no longer build in isolation.

In this episode, Justin Willhite, Founder of CommQuest and former Senior Influencer Marketing Manager at Twitch, breaks down why influencer marketing has shifted from a “nice-to-have” to a critical survival channel for eCommerce brands in 2026.

Justin shares a rare insider perspective from both sides of the table — enterprise-level influencer strategy at Amazon-owned Twitch and real-world execution as a creator himself. You’ll learn how brands should approach influencers, what metrics actually matter, how to repurpose creator content for Amazon and DTC, and why micro-creators often outperform massive accounts.

If you’re selling on Amazon or DTC and still treating influencer marketing like an experiment, this episode will change how you think about growth.

He also consults both brands and agencies in the Amazon space.

In this episode of The eCom Growth Show, Danan Coleman sits down with Emily Reeves, VP of Capital Solutions at Bridge Marketplace, to break down the truth about eCommerce financing, what options actually exist, how lenders think, and where founders go wrong.

If you’ve ever considered taking a loan to scale inventory, fund ads, or grow faster… this episode is for you.

Emily walks through the real financing landscape for eCommerce brands: from revenue-based lending and inventory financing to traditional bank loans and explains why not all capital is created equal.

They also unpack how lenders evaluate your business, including how your revenue, inventory, and cash flow determine how much you can actually borrow and at what cost.

One of the biggest takeaways? The “easy money” that shows up fast is often the most dangerous. Many founders fall into the trap of high-interest loans that drain their cash flow daily or weekly, making it nearly impossible to scale sustainably.

Emily also shares a powerful rule: you can’t have money that is good, cheap, and fast all at once. The faster the funding, the more expensive and risky it becomes for your business.

Beyond financing options, this episode dives deep into financial literacy for founders. From understanding margins to actually knowing your numbers, Emily explains why relying on your accountant isn’t enough and how not knowing your financials can cost you opportunities (or worse).

They also explore what’s changing in today’s lending market, including stricter bank requirements, shifts in SBA loans, and why alternative lenders are becoming more common often at a much higher cost.

If you’re thinking about raising capital, funding inventory, or scaling your eCommerce brand, this episode will help you make smarter, more strategic decisions with your money.

He also consults both brands and agencies in the Amazon space.

In reality, the bank account keeps shrinking.

In this episode of The eCom Growth Show, Danan Coleman sits down with Nachman Lieser, founder of ConnectBooks, to expose the financial blind spots that cause Amazon sellers to go broke, even while their P&L says they’re “making money.”

From dead inventory and poor cash flow planning to delayed financial visibility, Nachman breaks down the real reasons profitable-looking ecommerce brands hit a wall. You’ll hear real-world examples of seven-figure sellers with no liquidity, inventory silently draining cash, and why profit alone is a dangerous metric if you don’t understand your numbers.

If you sell on Amazon (or across multiple marketplaces) and want to scale without choking your cash flow, this episode will change how you look at your business.

🔑 What You’ll Learn

○ Why profit doesn’t equal cash flow in ecommerce

○ How inventory quietly destroys otherwise healthy businesses

○ The biggest financial mistake Amazon sellers keep repeating

○ Why “making money” on paper can still lead to bankruptcy

○ How top sellers stay liquid—even in volatile markets

○ What knowing your numbers actually means

He also consults both brands and agencies in the Amazon space.

In this episode of The eCom Growth Show, Danan Coleman talks with Ganesh Singh, COO of 3DImages.ai, about why 3D product models are quickly becoming one of the most overlooked growth levers in eCommerce.

Ganesh explains how interactive 3D models can increase dwell time, improve shopper engagement, reduce returns, and help brands stand out in crowded Amazon categories. He also shares why this isn’t just for furniture, sunglasses, or fashion, even everyday products like supplements, foam rollers, and skincare can benefit from immersive product experiences.

The conversation also dives into the future of interactive shopping, how Amazon is thinking about 3D and AR, and why brands that adopt these features early may gain a real advantage while competitors are still relying on static content alone.

If you sell on Amazon or Shopify and want to understand where product presentation is heading next, this episode is a must-watch.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why Amazon is pushing 3D interactive models

• How dwell time can influence conversion performance

• Why 3D models may reduce product returns

• The role of AR and virtual try-on in the future of shopping

• How 3D assets can also power lifestyle images and animations

• A real example of conversion growth from adding 3D to a listing

• What new Amazon sellers should focus on to stand out

He also consults both brands and agencies in the Amazon space.

In this episode of The eCom Growth Show, Danan Coleman sits down with fractional CFO Nate Littlewood to break down one of the biggest hidden threats to eCommerce brands: cash mismanagement.

Too many founders confuse profit with cash. They celebrate revenue milestones… while silently heading toward a financial cliff.

Nate shares what most eComm operators get wrong about cash flow, why profitable brands still go bankrupt, and how to avoid what he calls a “cash-tastrophy.”

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• The critical difference between cash vs. profit (and why it matters more than you think)

• How to forecast cash flow before you hit a crisis

• When to choose debt vs. equity, and how to decide what’s right for your stage

• Why inventory is the silent cash killer in eCommerce

• How founders leak 13–26% of revenue without realizing it

• The truth about MCAs (merchant cash advances) and high-interest lending traps

• The power of a 13-week cash flow model

Nate brings a rare perspective to the table, he’s bootstrapped his own eCommerce brand, mentored founders in startup accelerators, and spent nearly a decade on Wall Street before becoming a fractional CFO. Today, through Future Ready CFO, he helps purpose-led founders turn financial chaos into clarity and make smarter decisions about inventory, marketing spend, and growth strategy.

If you’re running a Shopify brand, Amazon business, or CPG company, this conversation could save you from a very expensive mistake.

Because growth doesn’t fix bad cash flow. It magnifies it.

He also consults both brands and agencies in the Amazon space.

In this episode of The eCom Growth Show, Danan Coleman sits down with Alan Li, Co-founder of CopyCatch.AI, to talk about how eCommerce brands can fight back against copycats, counterfeiters, and marketplace infringers on Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, Temu, and more.

Alan shares how copycats helped crush one of his brands from $7M in annual revenue down to $1.5M, why basic DMCA takedowns often fail, and how he later used contingency-based Schedule A lawsuits to collect over $100K+ in settlements while doubling his Amazon revenue after removing copycats.

They also cover why IP protection is more than legal defense, it can become a serious growth lever for brands losing revenue to knockoffs. Alan explains how copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, AI-powered evidence collection, and attorney-led enforcement can help small-to-mid-sized eCommerce brands reclaim stolen market share.

If your products, images, packaging, or brand identity are being copied online, this episode is a must-watch.
