The Dirt with Johg Ananda, CEO at GiveMeTheDirt.com - Episode 17
UNDERSTANDING BOTH SIDES OF A MULTICHANNEL ECOMMERCE BUSINESS
INTERVIEW WITH JOHG ANANDA
DESCRIPTION
In today’s episode, we are bringing you an interview with one of Bobsled’s clients to showcase both the light and the dark side of selling on Amazon. The Dirt and Johg Ananda have been working with Bobsled Marketing to maximize their profits on Amazon, but that is not this wellness company’s only channel for ecommerce. Johg will describe why having a multi-channel ecommerce brand has been beneficial for The Dirt, and will then balance that with practical advice for other brands of a similar size and nature.
“Amazon and our site are two pieces that are dancing with one another rather than two pieces that are fighting one another.”
The Dirt benefits from having a strong brand presence outside of Amazon. You need this type of brand recognition in order to be strategic with multi-channel sales. This sure foundation is what enables Johg to have the clarity to analyze each channel individually. He certainly has a lot to teach multi-channel brands, so listen to this week’s episode for practical tools and strategies for your next moves.
