⭐ TOGETHER* WITH CHARGEFLOW

Jones Road Beauty (Bobbi Brown's makeup brand) was in need of a chargeback management solution to handle their chargebacks in a hands-off manner.

The task was consuming too much time and energy from the CX team. After receiving some recommendations from colleagues, they decided to give Chargeflow a try.

3 months later…

💄: Jones Road saw a 32.6% increase in chargeback win-rate
💄: Jones Road experienced a 97% increase in win-rate for chargeback fraud cases

It's safe to say that Chargeflow is a no-brainer (I’m saying it), especially if your brand is on Shopify.

IT’S FREE TO USE AS YOU ONLY PAY A % ONCE THEY WIN THE CHARGEBACK AND RECOVER THE LOST REVENUE.

Be like Jones Road, Olipop, Magic Mind, and 5,000+ brands who use Chargeflow to win chargebacks on autopilot.

🤖 AI IS RE-SHAPING E-COMMERCE. HERE’S HOW TO USE IT

AI is making waves in the world of e-commerce, helping entrepreneurs save time and boost profits. With rising competition and slower sales growth, smart business owners are turning to AI tools to take care of boring, repetitive tasks so they can focus on more important things.

One cool way AI can help is with smarter pricing. Tools like Profasee use demand data to automatically adjust prices, kind of like how Uber raises rates during busy times. This can help sellers maximize earnings or get higher product rankings.

AI is also a huge time-saver for things like market research. Instead of manually reading through thousands of reviews, you can upload them to ChatGPT and instantly see what customers love or hate about a competitor's product. Crazy useful!

And get this - there are AI tools that let you quickly test different product designs, images, and marketing copy by getting real feedback from online audiences. It's like having an instant focus group at your fingertips.

Speaking of product design, with AI you can now easily create cool 3D mockups and prototypes using tools like Midjourney, without needing fancy design skills. Just feed it some text prompts and bam - cool visuals ready to go.

The possibilities are endless, from streamlining inventory to automating boring data tasks. Not only does AI buy you more free time, but it also gives you a competitive edge with smarter pricing, laser-targeted market insights, and finely-tuned offers.

If you're an e-commerce entrepreneur who wants to work smarter not harder, you've got to learn how to put AI in your toolbelt. Check out the full article online to discover more profit-boosting AI tips and tools! [Link to article]
