1.2 Importance of Reaching $100
Million in Annual Revenue
Reaching $100 million in annual revenue as a brand is crucial for several compelling
reasons. Firstly, it signifies a substantial market presence and consumer trust,
indicating that the brand's products or services have gained widespread
acceptance.
This level of revenue suggests that a brand has operational efficiency and scalability,
as managing large transaction volumes at this scale necessitates robust
infrastructure and streamlined processes. Financially, it provides ample resources for
further innovation, marketing initiatives, and customer acquisition, fueling sustained
growth. The $100 million mark often attracts investor interest and potential
partnerships, opening doors for additional capital and strategic collaborations.
Achieving this milestone also enhances the brand's credibility and positions it as a
formidable player in the competitive eCommerce landscape.

The $100 Million
Store Journey
2.1 Understanding the Path
to $100 Million
Building a $100 million eCommerce store is an ambitious goal that requires a well-
defined path and a relentless commitment to growth. The journey typically starts
with an online store and gradually progresses through various stages of
development.
The primary focus is launching the eCommerce store, choosing the niche, sourcing or
creating products, setting up an online platform, and developing a marketing plan
to attract the first customers. Each store celebrates its small wins at this stage—the
first sale, glowing customer feedback, and establishing its brand identity.
As the business gains traction, the emphasis shifts to growing the customer base,
investing in effective digital marketing strategies, SEO, social media advertising, and
content marketing to attract a wider audience. The focus shifts on providing
excellent customer service to retain and convert first-time buyers into loyal
customers.

2 . 1 U n d e r s t a n d i n g t h e Pa t h t o $ 1 0 0 M i l l i o n
The road to the $100 million mark is still long, and making it with a single product is
hard. At this point, most businesses diversify their product offerings, expand their
product lines, or go into related niches. They identify trends and customer needs and
introduce new products accordingly.
As the business grows, efficient operations become crucial. This is where your
business starts to differentiate from the others.
You start to optimize your supply chain, inventory management, and fulfillment
processes to handle increased order volumes. You invest in technology and
automation to streamline operations and reduce costs.
Expanding your eCommerce store to international markets can significantly boost
revenue. You should evaluate opportunities for global growth, adapt your website for
international customers, and navigate the complexities of cross-border logistics and
regulations.
Focus on branding, storytelling, and customer engagement to create a memorable
and trustworthy image for your store. Consider collaborations and partnerships with
influencers or other brands to increase visibility.
You should harness the power of data analytics to make informed decisions. Monitor
key metrics such as customer lifetime value, conversion rates, and average order
value. Use this data to refine your marketing strategies and customer experience.
As you approach the $100 million mark, continue to scale your marketing efforts.
Experiment with new advertising channels, target larger audiences and invest in
customer retention programs to maximize revenue from existing customers.
This path we wrote is just a fraction of the complicated and arduous path to
reaching $100 million. It's a journey that involves overcoming challenges and
continuously pushing boundaries to provide value to your customers and grow your
business.

in Scaling
Technology emerges as the cornerstone of success in building a $100 million annual

inventory levels, forecast demand accurately, and ensure that you have the right
products in stock to meet customer needs.

Respond to shifting market dynamics and evolving customer behaviors by using
automation software that empowers you to scale your marketing efforts.
Harnessing the Power of Data
You can only make informed decisions by having valuable insights into customer
behavior, sales trends, and the performance of marketing campaigns. So don't rely
on guesswork.

At Insense, a strategy we love for DTC brands is product seeding (aka
influencer gifting) which enables brands to get authentic content and
grow organic reach at zero cost. The goal of product seeding campaigns
is to generate buzz and grow brand awareness by sending influencers free
or discounted products in exchange for their honest review, and if they
love your product they will post it organically on their social media
accounts. Why product seeding now in Q44

our merchants. It focuses on the fact that customers will engage with a
brand wherever they choose, and it is the brand’s job to be there, as soon
as possible, with consistent messaging, promises, and brand voice, across
all channels. In doing so, customers are more likely to develop brand
affinity or loyalty, which ultimately leads to an increase in sales and the
brand’s bottom line.

Wesley
Hartley
CRO
In order to grow a shopify store to $100M it’s critical to have a robust
data management strategy. In scaling to this level of revenue your paid
media budgets are going to be significant and spread across multiple
channels and campaigns.
Without a proper handle on data - warehoused, unified and visualised
marketing, customer and revenue data - decision making about media
spend allocation across channels, campaigns, product category and
creative, will become painfully difficult. Furthermore, not having the right
ad account structures can also be a major barrier to scaling. As you start
to increase budgets you’ll suffer more and more attribution overlap and
you’ll struggle to know what’s working.

Insights and Strategies
By analyzing first-party customer order data, we gained deep
insights into buying habits, repeat order rates, and customer
lifetime value across various acquisition channels, seasons,
and product categories. This allowed us to establish target
costs of acquisition and ROAS for both new and existing
customers, guiding us on which product categories to
prioritize and when to intensify acquisition efforts.
Segmentation was key, considering factors like customer type
(doorstep-first or eComm-first) and preferred product
category (tea, treats, or gifts). Each segment received tailored
messaging, campaign objectives, and acquisition cost targets,
considering margin differences.
Our ad account structure was pivotal. We allocated budgets
strategically between tea and gifting, recognizing their

Loop is a Shopify subscriptions app that helps DTC brands increase subscription
revenue and reduce cancellations through gamification.
2200+ brands run profitable subscription programs on Loop. 350+ DTC brands

Sakshi
Jain
Head of Partnerships
In the dynamic realm of eCommerce, the profound impact of
subscription retention remains underestimated. When customers
subscribe, they forge an ongoing relationship, offering fertile ground for
long-term loyalty and profitability. Subscription models offer customers
convenience and personalization, while granting brands predictability,
steady cash flow, and insights into preferences.
Subscription retention is not just about maintaining; it's about constant
innovation. By refining offerings, adapting to evolving needs, and
surprising subscribers, brands keep excitement alive. It's a journey beyond
transactions, transforming a brand into an integral part of customers'
lives. Investing in meaningful relationships ensures an eCommerce brand
not only survives but thrives in the years ahead.

upon completion of certain milestones (like two or four

discounts, enriching the overall customer experience and
motivating continued engagement.
The process was automated using Loop Flows, which operated
on conditional triggers. For instance, once a subscriber
successfully completed two orders, a 15% discount was
automatically applied to their third order. By integrating such
strategic rewards and prominently showcasing them in the

menu items to a minimum, you want the browsing process to be easy and

rather than seeing too many options at once.

Hunter Boots, a renowned apparel brand, aiming to
relaunch in the UK and Europe, needed a new
eCommerce website. They identified Shopify as the ideal
platform, seeking a clean, high-quality site on Shopify
Plus. Their goals included reducing return rates by
enhancing sizing information. The paramount
requirement was a swift build, as they lacked a live
website during the project's development.
I n s igh t s a n d S t r at e gi e s
Quickfire, having established a strong partnership with the
Batra Group, the parent company of Hunter Boots, was
chosen to develop the relaunch website for the brand. They
utilized their certification in the Shopify Plus platform,
ensuring that quality was not compromised despite the urgent
timeline. As a brand endorsed by global elites, it was crucial to
maintain high standards.
The relaunched website aimed to provide an improved
shopping experience by incorporating insights from user
behavior. It included a detailed sizing guide, and within 24
hours of its launch, hundreds of orders were received.
Yasamine Beheshti, Head of eCommerce at the Batra Group,
commended Quickfire for their efficiency, speed, and
proactive approach. Quickfire's successful collaborations with
other brands, such as FILA and Juicy Couture from Batra

How BlendJet
generated $2.8M via

Introduction
Established in 2017 through a journey of trauma, healing,
and love, BlendJet quickly became a global force in results
portable kitchen appliances, championing healthier
lifestyles. Now, the brand thrives in over 30k retail stores During Q4, BlendJet:

This isn’t your average case study … because BlendJet migrated
revenue
‘kicking and screaming,’ then generated $2.8M via SMS in 3
months.
The Problem of ‘Fake Growth’
BlendJet was satisfied with its previous marketing platform,
Facebook Messenger, but it had some doubts about its ROI. The
company switched to Recart after trusting its CEO, Soma, and
being impressed with Recart's past performance.
The Solution
BlendJet onboarded to Recart SMS in September of 2022. With
the holidays fast approaching, it set its sights on three
strategies to prove Recart’s value.
BlendJet improved its mobile SMS conversions by 176%
with Recart's mobile-specific direct-to-text popup, one-
click opt-in, and "minimized" view.
BlendJet's 5-message, 11-day SMS welcome series,
featuring visuals, social proof, and benefits, yielded almost
$1.3 million in holiday revenue with a 6.7% conversion rate.
In the first three months, BlendJet's automations
generated $2.3M, peaking with a 96% increase from
November to December.
BlendJet increased send volume and ensured returns by
verifying contacts, sending various weekly campaigns, and
strategically excluding recent buyers and cart-holders. This
approach led to a 57X return during a campaign.

About Rush
Building a $100M Shopify brand in 2023 takes a lot of strategies to go right at
the same time. Collaboration and shared knowledge are what underlines the
success of all the brands that have reached this milestone so far.
The one metric that will get you to $100M
That is the amount of revenue you generate from a single customer while they
are engaged with your brand - customer lifetime value, or CLV. The Shopify
brands that understand the importance of this metric are the ones who succeed
in their mission.
To increase your CLV, you need to find ways to increase the average order value
of every customer who buys from your store. Simply put - make your customers
spend more.
With higher CLV, you instantly increase your return on ad spend (ROAS), the ROI
of all marketing efforts, and most importantly - your profit margins. CLV is the
magic metric that grows all of your important financial metrics.
The biggest profits come after checkout
Customers who purchase in your store have two options - come back for more
or leave forever. Here’s how a few brands using Rush can increase their AOV &
CLV in the face of intense competition in 2023.

Rainford
General Manager, Vervaunt
Use cost of sale as an indicator to determine speed
vs. efficiency of growth.
A cost of sale of over 35% would suggest a significant reliance on
performance channels, and may lead to an unhealthy business at large scale.
A cost of sale under 15% would suggest the brand is not looking to grow
quickly.
Develop account structures with a view to eliminate barriers to scale. Utilise
broad targeting and AI powered campaign types to allow spends to be
ramped up without having to continually restructure.
Early adoption of new campaign types can allow for the most efficient scaling
- not only do these campaigns tend to see the most efficient CPMs / CPCs,
they are often the key campaign type 6-12 months later so early testing can
really give an edge.
Focus on mid term profit - setting CAC targets based on 6-12 month LTV. This
allows you to increase CAC targets to be more aggressive on performance
channels without putting major strain on business cash flow.
Attribution tools and/or media mix modelling can help to show the value of
performance channels to the business outside of what is being directly
attributed in the channels which can also help to justify a lower CAC target.
In addition to this, the budget optimisation within the LightweightMMM
outputs can help to ensure your business is scaling as effectively as possible.

4.2 Leveraging Technology for Growth
You can’t run an eCommerce store without technology. And the tech you choose to
use has a fundamental impact on how fast and how well you’ll grow.
Technology that’s badly integrated creates an unnecessary workload for your team,
leaving them dealing with admin instead of growth activity.
Technology that’s not fit for your purposes creates customer dissatisfaction and
costs you sales.
The right technology makes it easy for your team, keeps your customers happy, and
facilitates your growth instead of holding you back.
Different Stages of Growth mean Different Technology
Unfortunately, your tech isn’t something you can set and forget.
The tech stack that works for you on day one is not going to be the same tech stack
you need to get from $1 Million to $10 Million, is not going to be the same tech stack
you need to get from $10 Million to $100 Million.
As your volumes change, as your team grows, as your business mission, objectives,
and goals adapt - you need to be adapting your tech stack too.
And it's something you need to be proactive about.
The bigger you get the more time it takes to switch one tool out and another tool in.
So you want to be doing that when you’re anticipating needing to make the
change, not at the point where the warehouse system has fallen over and Black
Friday is in two weeks time.

4. 2 Leveraging Technology for Growth
The positive side to this is - with the right tech stack in place, taking the next
growth leap becomes much easier, and much less anxiety-ridden.
The 5 Sections of a Good eCommerce Growth Tech Stack
There are 5 sections to a good eCommerce Tech Stack, which should be considered
both independently and together:
Your Website and Apps
The Ops side - What happens post-purchase to make sure the customer is
happy and the orders get to them.
Your marketing tech stack - data management and comms management.
Content Management - do you need a PIM, a graphics or video
management system?
Analytics - how are you getting the data and insight you need to grow?
Every eCommerce business should understand their needs in each of these 5
sections.
Whatever your mix of these 5 sections is, you should be making sure that they work
seamlessly together, make life easier for your team, and don’t have a negative
impact on website performance.
p o w e r e d by v i d eo w i s e a n d pa rt n e r s 104/ 116
4. 2 Leveraging Technology for Growth
How do you make sure your Tech Stack is ready to help you grow?
As mentioned, you need to be proactive in creating a tech stack that will help you
grow.
Here are the 3 steps I recommend you take;
:F Audit what you havv
ER What do you have9
QR What are you using it for9
eR How well does it work togetheJ
YR Within each tool what are you paying for, but not using9
^R How helpful are the team behind it9
7R Any other issues9
<F Work out what you nee
ER Nox
QR In 12 monthb
eR In 2 yearb
YR In 5 yearb
^R Any other opportunities9
5F What do you need to changem
ER Optimise existing tecA
QR Replace existing tecA
eR Bring in new tech
Never easy to do - but do it once well, and you’ll be on solid ground for many
months, even years to come.
This is never a quick project and involves bringing in expertise from across the
business, so don’t expect to complete any of the steps (let alone all 3) in one
month.
p o w e r e d by v i d eo w i s e a n d pa rt n e r s 105/116
4. 2 Leveraging Technology for Growth
I recommend kicking off a project like this straight after peak when the niggles with
the existing tech stack are freshest in the team’s mind, and when you’ve got the
longest runway to get it in place for the next peak season.
Involve your tech partners
An increasingly brilliant part of an eCommerce tech stack is the people each
element gives you access to.
There are phenomenally brilliant people working for many tech companies whose
insight and experience you should be tapping into to both make the most of your
use of their tools, and to help you work out how best to evolve your tech stack for
growth.
So please talk to the people working for your most important technology!
A note on AI…
You may be wondering why I’ve not mentioned AI… well, that’s because I don’t
believe you need separate tech to make use of AI in your business (well, apart from
when it comes to generative copy).
But it’s certainly something you should be speaking to your key tech partners about
and finding out how they’re building it into your existing tools to help you grow.

p o w e r e d b y v i d e o w i s e a n d pa rt n e r s 108/116
Ben
Zetler
Founder, Zettler Digital
I started out in ecommerce owning my own Shopify
storefront.
It was store ~41,000 on the platform and very much before Shopify's rapid
ascent to the forefront of technologies powering the online presence of
millions of businesses worldwide.
Based on 10+ years of experience in e-commerce, we've found that brands
succeed by focusing on customers, data-driven decisions, and continuous
innovation.
Focus on what the focus is.
If you operate an ecommerce business, the goal is to make money. You make
money by getting people who haven't purchased before to buy for the first
time and by having folks that already have buying again.
Surprisingly, it can be easy to get consumed by things that take you away
from making money. One simple example (of many potential things): a
business owner for an emerging ecommerce brand is too wrapped up into
editing product images that will go on the website than making the call to
secure a brand partnership deal.
Anytime there is something that is a task that can be outsourced to another
teammate, a freelancer, a service or someone other than you as the store
owner, do it. Your time in pushing the business forward is more than worth the
cost of bringing someone else in to support so many different types of tasks in
almost all cases.
Conclusion
5.1 R ec a p o f K e y I n s i g h t s a n d Ta k e aways
5.1 Recap of Key Insights
and Takeaways
1. Customer-Centric Approach
One resounding lesson from brands that have achieved the $100 million
revenue mark is unwavering dedication to understanding their audience.
Personalize every touchpoint, elevate customer service, and ensure your
communication resonates deeply. As in the case of Dr. Livingwood, where a
personalized churn strategy did wonders in their revenue.
Diversification and Expansion
The wisdom shared by these successful brands is clear: diversify strategically
to capture a larger market share. And diversification doesn’t always mean
new products. It can be a new membership option as in Flamingo estate’s
case where 32% of the membership enrollees were actually new customers.
Expanding into complementary niches and vigilantly spotting emerging
trends are the hallmarks of their growth journey.
Test with different interactive video campaigns that highlight new product
launches and complementary items, providing customers with a seamless
shopping experience. Like Dr. Dennis Gross installed the “founder video quiz"
on its home page.

5.1 Recap of Key Insights and Takeaways
3. Operational Efficiency
A fundamental pillar of success is mastering the intricate dance of supply
chain and inventory management as order volumes surge.
Technology and automation are the secret weapons employed to streamline
operations and optimize costs. Take example from Wyze which optimized the
order fulfillment process from purchase to delivery.
4. International Expansion
These accomplished brands attest to the immense potential of international
markets in boosting revenue.
Tailoring websites for global audiences and adeptly navigating the
complexities of cross-border logistics and regulations are key strategies they
share like Paul Rich which implemented IP geolocation, ensuring customers
accessed region-specific site.
Use shoppable video content to reach international audiences.
Leverage interactive UGC video storytelling to narrate your brand's journey,
while allowing viewers to click on products within the video to learn more or
make purchases same as Dr. Squatch did.
p o w e r e d by v i d eo w i s e a n d pa rt n e r s 112/116
5.1 Recap of Key Insights and Takeaways
5. Branding and Storytelling
The successful brands resonate with the art of creating a brand identity that
remains etched in the minds of customers same as Fiji.
Their journeys are studded with influencer collaborations and brand
partnerships that magnify their visibility. Which reminds us of goPure which
received over 140 UGC influencer video assets for TikTok while building a
long-term relationship with some of the influencers.
6. Data-Driven Decision Making
Data analytics reigns supreme in the playbook of these thriving brands. They
swear by it, tracking vital metrics like customer lifetime value and conversion
rates.
Expertise in data utilization refines their marketing strategies and elevates
the overall customer experience.
7. Technological Innovation
These accomplished brands, now at the top of their game, emphasize the
imperative of adopting cutting-edge technology.
Their embrace of video marketing has set them apart, driving engagement
and offering invaluable insights such as in True Classic’s case where videos
brought the brand a 13% higher conversion rate.

5. 2 Encouragement for Aspiring eCommerce Entrepreneurs
5.2 Encouragement for Aspiring
eCommerce Entrepreneurs
Embarking on the path to $100 million is an exhilarating endeavor. Prepare to
navigate challenges with strategic planning and impactful partnerships.
Prioritize transparency and personalized experiences for the modern consumer
satisfaction and utilize customer-generated video content to build trust and
enhance engagement. Remember, your customers are more than transactions—they
are the heart of your brand.
Cultivate a loyal community that advocates for your brand and contributes to
organic growth and focus on customer retention to increase Lifetime Value (CLV),
while boosting profit margins and creating passionate brand advocates. Remember
to collaborate with agencies and tech partners for innovative solutions to stay ahead
in this dynamic landscape.
