Shopify1Percent - The Shopify Podcast to be the Top 1% of eCommerce Stores with Jay Myers

• RETENTION GURU, Jimmy Kim "How to Turn Your Shopify List Into a Profit Machine"

  🚨 DON'T MISS COMMERCE ROUNDTABLE NEXT WEEK: https://commerceroundtable.com/ (Use Code: BOLD for a special discount when you register)  Blasting random emails and calling them campaigns is not a strategy. Only 2% of the emails brands send are automations, yet they drive about 40% of email revenue. In this episode of Shopify1Percent, I sit down with Jimmy Kim, cofounder of Sendlane and host of The ASOM Pod, to dig into how Shopify merchants can flip retention into their biggest profit driver. From RFM segmentation to automations that print money while you sleep, this is one you don’t want to miss. Key Take-aways Why only 2% of emails being automations is the biggest missed opportunity in ecommerce The compounding effect of repeat purchases (26% more likely to buy after order two, 39% after order three, 48% after order four) Tactical strategies to make automations like abandoned cart, post-purchase, and shipping updates do the heavy lifting How SMS can drive instant results when used smartly alongside email Why Shopify merchants need to obsess over CLTV-to-CAC ratio, not just ROAS Practical ways to segment customers using RFM analysis without overcomplicating things 🫶 Please support the amazing sponsors that make this show possible 🫶 Omnisend - I personally use Omnisend for every Shopify store I manage! I’ve tried them all and Omnisend is hands down the easiest way to set up email and sms automations and campaigns, leverage segmentation to personalize them, and A/B test everything to optimize conversion. The push notifications and gamified email collection tools are just the icing on the cake 🤌 (plus most report paying about half the price of Klaviyo 🤫) 🚨Listeners (YOU) get an exclusive 30% OFF for 3 MONTHS: https://shopify1percent.com/omnisend   Bold Commerce - Maximize your Shopify sales with Bold's suite of powerful apps.

• 🏆 SHOPIFY 1% WINS: Throw Away Your Old Black Friday Playbook. Do This Instead!

  🎬 🍿Today's episode was based on this video. https://youtu.be/z10ea3mj_BQ  The podcast will make sense if you're listening to just the audio version, but there is a lot more value in the visuals in the video if you're able to watch.  Black Friday as gotten boring... It's the same old sales every year, confusing coupon codes, no emotional connection, and brands are standing out less and less in the inbox.  What if your best customers never had to touch a coupon code again and instantly saw their VIP pricing the second they logged in? And not just saw VIP pricing, but FELT like a VIP. In today’s 1% Win, I break down how you can unlock true member-style pricing on Shopify. With 79% of consumers saying loyalty programs make them more likely to stick with a brand, and VIP shoppers spending 3x more than average customers, this simple tweak will transform your revenue. Key Take-aways 💡 Why traditional discount codes actually frustrate customers—and how to fix it. 👑 How member-style pricing builds loyalty and creates a true “VIP experience.” 🚀 The impact of segmenting pricing by spend, purchase history, or customer tags. 🛒 How to set up unlimited price groups in Shopify without complicated workarounds. 📈 Why eliminating friction in pricing boosts conversion and long-term customer value. 🫶 Please support the amazing sponsors that make this show possible 🫶 Omnisend - I personally use Omnisend for every Shopify store I manage!

• TikTok Shop Secrets to Explosive Growth for Shopify Stores w/ TikTok Expert Jordan West

  If you’re still treating TikTok like “just another social channel,” you’re leaving Shopify revenue on the table. TikTok Shop isn’t a toy, it’s a MASSIVE sales engine. Global GMV doubled to roughly $26.2B in H1 2025, and the platform now pushes all Shop ads into GMV Max to optimize for conversions, not vanity metrics. In this episode, I sit down with Jordan West of Social Commerce Club to unpack a practical playbook for Shopify brands: creator-led selling, the blitz-launch strategy, and how to sync orders back to Shopify without chaos. TikTok is becoming a primary sales channel.  Key Take-aways Why TikTok Shop is a sales channel, not “just content,” and how creator incentives make it perform like commission-only sales at scale. The Blitz Launch: seed 100 to 200 creators, stack spend on day one, let GMV Max amplify the winners, and trigger the flywheel of organic plus paid. Smart commissioning: when a seemingly “high” 40 percent organic commission can actually beat your blended paid CAC math. The new ad reality: GMV Max becomes the default for Shop ads, so success hinges on more tagged UGC and broader creative variety. Product fit and pricing: why sub-$100 AOV with bundle options tends to work best for TikTok Shop, and when to think twice about high-AOV categories. Ops without headaches: use a connector to push TikTok orders back into Shopify for fulfillment and returns. Creator sourcing at scale: how to find, brief, and manage creators with discovery tools and off-platform communities that keep momentum high. Market proof points: TikTok’s shopper base and adoption continue to surge, with tens of millions of US buyers and majority consumer penetration. 🫶 Please support the amazing sponsors that make this show possible 🫶 Omnisend - I personally use Omnisend for every Shopify store I manage!

• PROFIT FIRST - Why Most Shopify Stores Fail. (It's Not Bad SEO, Bad Products, or Even Bad Marketing)

  Most Shopify entrepreneurs don’t fail because of bad products or weak SEO. They fail because of one thing: they run out of money. In fact, 83% of businesses are not profitable, and yet the majority of Shopify stores never stop to address this until it’s too late. In today’s episode, I sit down with bestselling author Mike Michalowicz (Profit First, Clockwork, The Money Habit) to talk about eradicating “entrepreneurial poverty.” We dive into money habits, why hustle culture is a scam, and the practical systems every Shopify store owner needs to build a sustainable business. Trust me — if you think profit is something you’ll “hit” one day, this episode will change the way you see entrepreneurship forever.   Key Take-aways Why most Shopify businesses fail, and why it’s rarely because of the product. The Profit First framework and why profitability isn’t an event, it’s a habit. How founder burnout and poor money habits destroy great stores. Why removing yourself from the business (Clockwork method) is a true measure of success. The importance of constraints in sparking innovation and efficiency. Why small business isn’t just the backbone of the economy — it IS the economy.

• 🏆 SHOPIFY 1% WINS: Your Instagram Bio Might Actually Be Your Most Important Landing Page

  Everyone’s obsessed with their Shopify landing pages, but here’s the inconvenient truth: most of your customers never even make it there. They’re stalking your Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube profile first. And if that page isn’t optimized, you’re bleeding conversions before the game even starts. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to turn your social media profile into a true “pre-landing page” that pulls people in and makes them click through to buy. Considering that over 70% of shoppers check a brand’s social media before purchasing, this small change can mean big money for your Shopify store. Key Take-aways Your social media profile is a critical step in the buying journey and should be treated like a landing page Optimize highlights, pinned content, and bio links to showcase bestsellers, reviews, and trending products Focus on storytelling and brand trust, not just a pretty grid layout Use customer reviews and UGC in story highlights to increase credibility Make it effortless for visitors to find your top products and offers without having to dig through your feed 🫶 Please support the amazing sponsors that make this show possible 🫶 Omnisend - I personally use Omnisend for every Shopify store I manage!
