Depesh Mandalia had been a guest on the podcast episode 29 where he and Kunle talked about the success of his personalized children’s books. He’s back to share more of the changes that happened in his work and social media ads since then. He gave a peek into his BPM Method and updates on how his strategies have been successful and how his campaigns have evolved.

Depesh promoted the use of AI as he had been trying to train AI in creating ads. His passion for the potential of AI has led him to create his own that would become more helpful for eCommerce founders in making ads overall in a financial and time-economic way. He was constantly learning and experimenting with different methods and technologies and eager to push the boundaries of what AI could do.

It’s a compelling episode as you’d hear Kunle and Depesh talk more about the changes in the social media world, how he came up with his BPM Method, the benefits of using AI, training AI on prompts, and other potentials of AI in the eCommerce space.

Shopify

If you have been following my journey here on this podcast, you'll know that I am a Co-founder at Octillion, a consolidator of digital-first good-for-you CPG brands. We acquire brands with a view to scaling them up. We currently have a portfolio of three brands all powered by the commerce platform Shopify. 

Shopify is the global commerce platform that helps you sell at every stage of your business. From the “launch-your-online-store” stage to the “first-real-life-store” stage all the way to, “did-we-just-hit-a-million-orders-stage,” Shopify is there to help you grow. Whether you're selling scented soap or offering outdoor outfits, Shopify helps you sell everywhere from their all-in-one eCommerce platform to their in-person POS system. Wherever and whatever you're selling, Shopify has got you covered.

Shopify helps you turn browsers into buyers with the internet's best converting checkouts, which is a whooping 36% better on average compared to other leading commerce platforms. You'll also sell more with less effort thanks to Shopify Magic, your AI-powered all-star. I remember the first brand we acquired was running on another platform with quite poor conversions. We made it a point of duty to get it migrated over to Shopify and our checkout conversions doubled. 

What I love about Shopify is its ease of use. I don't think there are any other eCommerce platforms that beat its usability. Shopify powers 10% of all eCommerce in the US. Shopify is truly a global force powering Allbirds, Rothy’s, Brooklinen, and millions of other entrepreneurs of every size across 170 countries. Plus, Shopify's award-winning 24/7 help is there to support your success every step of the way because businesses that grow, grow with Shopify.
