Automate order fulfillment
Research group L2 recently discovered that a quarter of consumers would abandon an online purchase if same-day shipping wasn’t an option, which indicates a growing desire for faster delivery times.

Maximize your marketing efforts
Think email marketing is dead? Think again. According to an Emarsys survey of U.S. retailers, 81 percent of respondents revealed they depend on email for customer acquisition, while 80 percent said they rely on it for retention.
Remember, no matter how good your products are, they won’t sell if people don’t know they exist. Here’s how to spread the word.
CPC Strategy
CPC Strategy specializes in driving growth through technology-enabled campaign management on Google, Amazon, Facebook and more by matching inventory with consumer intent. Think Amazon PPC, listing optimization, paid search, AdWords text ads and other proven product advertising channels.
Dotmailer
Dotmailer enables e-commerce businesses to use transactional and behavioral data to design, test and send automated email campaigns. Unlike one-off emails, a targeted automation can take repetitive tasks off your plate and welcome new registrants, win back lapsed customers and reach out to cart-abandoners.
Enlist a payments provider for money transfers
A recent Forrester report estimates that cross-border shopping will make up 20 percent of e-commerce in 2022, with sales reaching $627 billion. That’s great news for marketplace sellers: Forrester said Amazon and eBay are the most popular destinations for cross-border shopping.
Whether you’re already selling internationally or thinking of dipping into a new market for the first time, a cross-border payments provider will help you make the most of international sales.
World First
World First helps online sellers trading on e-commerce marketplaces to save money when converting payments back into their own currency or paying overseas suppliers. Once you open an account, you can use it to receive funds from the sale of your goods on international marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, PriceMinister and Cdiscount, to name just four, and choose when to bring your money home.
Payoneer
Payoneer empowers online sellers to receive payments from e-commerce marketplaces including Amazon, Rakuten and Tophatter in one consolidated account. The cross-border payment platform allows you to pay and get paid globally as easily as you do locally, giving you access to your funds whenever and however you choose.
