Is it too early to start thinking about Christmas? 🎄

Not if you work in ecommerce.

Excellent insights here from Claire Pointon at John Lewis & Partners. Ease, shoppability and focus are all critical in creating exceptional omnichannel experiences. As is planning, planning and more planning ahead of peak sales periods... and rigorous testing afterwards.

Anyone for a mince pie?

How John Lewis set out to create memorable Christmas shopping experiences that customers could engage with both online and offline.

From the power of storytelling in disrupting a category to the art of selling in China, yesterday’s Ecommerce Insider dinner in Glasgow provided a feast of ecommerce insight.

We were delighted to partner with Boyd Digital for this event, which was hosted by Gary Singh Landa, Alistair Macneil and Grant Ruxton and attended by some of Scotland’s finest ecommerce minds.

Thanks to all of our guests for making it such a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Our next stop, complete with panoramic views of London, is the Gherkin on 23rd June. If you're an ecommerce manager and would like to discuss topics ranging from AI to internationalisation, get in touch.

It’s World Password Day – a good reminder to make sure your password strategy is keeping your ecommerce platform properly protected:

🔑 Make sure every user sets a unique password
🔏 Set a minimum length for admin passwords – the more characters a password has, the longer it will take a third party to crack (even if the shorter one is more complicated)
📆 Set passwords to expire every 6-8 weeks
🔐 Make two-factor authentication mandatory

We put the theory to the test. Read all about it:

In a recent 'pet project' we proved the ecommerce value of AI image recognition through the medium of pugs and poodles. Here's how.

What a night partnering with our friends at Akoova for our latest Ecommerce Insider dinner...

Together, Gary, Alistair and Osvaldo led an evening of ecommerce discovery on the 40th floor of Heron Tower – with some equally high-flying guests.

The topic that split the room: is Magento + headless the way forward?

Magento is undoubtedly the best platform in the world at managing complex requirements, inventory, promotions, tax and multiple stores. But for a lot of retailers, its frontend experience leaves a lot to be desired. As a result, increasing numbers are turning to the likes of Vue Storefront to bridge the gap.

What’s your experience? Does Magento’s frontend meet your needs? Or are you making plans to consciously decouple?
