Fresh from a very popular episode about why the American supply chain has been crumbling in 2021, East-Coast supply chain and logistics expert, Marshall Taplits founder of Ship It Done, joins our CEO and host, Renaud, on the pod again to discuss some of the latest e-commerce trends in the USA with a focus on Amazon.
Many importers are selling online on Amazon, so if Jeff Bezos' giant platform is an important part of your business model, understanding where they're going in 2021 and 2022 will be helpful to assist you to make smart decisions. You may be surprised about the costs, but Marshall also gives some helpful advice about building a solid brand without needing to rely on Amazon alone.
