Episode notes

Today on Entrepreneur Conundrum our guest is Chloe Thomas about how she helps businesses grow their e commerce brands. Chloe is a best selling author, international speaker and host of both the award winning ecommerce masterclass and Keep Optimizing podcasts.

Chloe is one of the top 30 ecommerce influencers in 2021. And her podcasts are regularly included in lists of the top ecommerce and marketing podcasts in the world. Chloe has been in E commerce since 2003. And there's barely a part of the E commerce landscape that she has not gotten involved with. One thing she's always done is solve an E commerce marketing problem.

A little about the Keep Optimizing Podcast:

If you’re looking for ways to improve your marketing results, get more traffic, and convert more customers – you should be listening to Keep Optimising.

Each week our host Chloë Thomas (best-selling author of ‘eCommerce Marketing: How to Get Traffic that BUYS to Your Website) interviews experts from around the world to bring you the latest and best advice on how to optimise your marketing.

One of the most important things to do when improving your marketing is to focus. If you’re constantly jumping from one marketing method to the next it’s going to take you forever to make each work for you. To help you focus we’re not jumping from one marketing method to the next either.

Each month we zero in on one marketing method, giving you a different way to improve it in each episode.

A little about the Ecommerce Masterplan Podcast:

The aim has never changed – to share inspiring and insightful stories of how other eCommerce business have gone about growing.

So every week we interview a different retailer (or occasionally an author or expert) to find out what they’ve been up to, and get them to share advice that will help you plot a better, faster, route to growth.

Our Host Chloe Thomas

Chloe is the brains behind the show, and has been in eCommerce for nearly 20 years. Initially she worked brand-side for a UK high-street/mail-order/online gift retailer where she totally got the eCommerce bug.

In her next post (the kid-in-the-candy-shop-role) she got to introduce eCommerce marketing to a group of mail order brands. Then she took all she’d learnt there and founded a marketing agency that she ran for 9 years and 11 months.

The sale of the agency has allowed Chloe to focus full time on helping as many eCommerce brands as possible to make better marketing decisions.
