Looking for companies in the B2B/D2C e-commerce sector in niche markets.

I have more than 10 years of experience in the software and marketing aspects of B2B/B2C e-commerce (Europe & US). For the past 2 years, I took a deep dive into D2C as a Technical Co-Founder of a fragrance-related brand (https://yuma.gr), successfully positioning us in the premium market at the lowest cost possible, by developing the e-commerce and ERP platform in-house.

I can handle all aspects of e-commerce with a focus on growth. Examples include:

- Extensive Google & Facebook Ads automation at scale via their APIs

- Distributed bots for scraping millions of SKUs daily for dynamic pricing

- Deep & proven knowledge of e-commerce & ERP architecture & development

- Complex and custom-made solutions (e.g., in-house developed Klaviyo alternative)

- Creative approaches to streamlining internal operations

- Frontend performance & SEO micro-optimization

- Landing page optimization for conversions

I prefer long-term commitments and typically work on projects for 6 months to 1 year, as I treat each project as my own. Having developed my D2C brand to a technical level that now requires only maintenance and marketing, my schedule has become more flexible. I'm ready to help companies in different markets while expanding my skills and knowledge.

Anyway, regarding the difference between ecstasy and MDMA, from personal experience, I cannot remember a time when the effects were the same. Every time I took a pill, the effect was totally different from MDMA. MDMA provided a more 'pure' experience, whereas with advertised 'ecstasy' pills, I experienced hallucinations, memory loss, and a very heavy hangover.

From the top of my head, in order of importance:

1. Your perspective is unique - no one else shares your exact point of view. Try everything.

2. Master digital marketing: Google & Facebook Ads, Server Side Tracking, Google Tag Manager, and Analytics. Recommended communities:

- reddit.com/r/PPC

- measure.chat

3. Keep creative talent in-house (designers, developers)

4. Study pricing psychology (eg. kolenda.io/guides/pricing)

5. Good books with warstories:

* Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert B. Cialdini

* The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing & of Branding (2 separate books) by Al Ries

6. Learn accounting essentials, each country has its own system

7. Provide solid support via multiple channels (phone, email, chat, social etc)

When we wanted to improve our marketing automation, I decided to try Klaviyo because many people online recommended it. I spent around 500 euros and 3-4 days to integrate it with my custom ecommerce platform. After sending 2 campaigns, the open rate dropped to 15%. Later I discovered Klaviyo put us on a shared IP with not-so-good senders, so my emails were going to spam folder.

This made me think - how difficult would it be to build some of Klaviyo's features myself? Especially because I was already collecting customer behavior data like item views and checkout steps.

I spent 5 days building a custom solution with:

- Simple drag-and-drop email builder - Dynamic coupon generation with dynamic criterias - Template variables - SQL-based segmentation (<-- priceless!) - Automated flows (abandoned carts, welcome series, etc..) -SMS integration

I connected everything to Postmark and used their webhooks for analytics (opens, clicks, spam). Now I have a good in-house email marketing system that costs only $20 per month on Postmark, and my open rates are back to normal, as the profits too.

Sometimes the "simple" (hah) solution is the best one.

150+ postgres tables, a huge backend dashboard, an optimized storefront, Hasura, Go, React/Typescript/Next.js and a myriad of integrations.

Abandoned my professional career for this one to chase the dream and got sciatica while in the process :)
