Have you ever heard of phrases like “TikTok made me buy it,” or “Found it on Amazon”? When paired with a social media platform, these 4-5 words can boost a brand’s sales and attract new customers. How? The power of influence. More specifically, the power of social media influencers.

Ever since it stopped being the ‘only’ shopping channel, brick and mortar has been struggling to find a sound value proposition. As we mentioned in our previous post (and it’s definitely worth repeating) it’s no longer enough for brick and mortar to present itself as the offline version of what’s online. It’s useful and sometimes necessary to shop for items in person.

I have a confession to make. For all that we’ve talked about the importance of unboxing on this blog (and in upcoming episodes) I don’t really care whether or not I get an unboxing experience when I shop online. Considering that Sippin’ in Shippin’ is all about enhancing the customer experience, that statement is probably a bit counterintuitive.
