From Cart to Customer: How to Optimize Your eCommerce Logistics with Taylor Smits [The Opportunity Ep.158]

Expanding into omnichannel sales is a great way to grow
your eCommerce business, but it also results in a more
complicated supply chain.


That's why working with a logistics partner who has their
finger on the pulse of the industry is so important. 


In this episode, we chat with Taylor Smits, co-founder of
MyFBAPrep, the largest Amazon prep and eCommerce fulfillment
network in the US.


Taylor joins us to explain how to optimize your supply
chain without hindering growth and expansion.


He outlines the common logistics pain points Amazon sellers
face, how to ace your inventory forecasting, and how to remove
redundancies in your supply chain to boost your bottom
line.


Taylor also reveals the best growth opportunities emerging
in the eCommerce industry today. According to
Taylor, 


"We're seeing a halo effect from TikTok shop. For every
sale you make on TikTok shop, you can assume two or three
increased sales on Amazon, because people go to Amazon to check
if the brand is legitimate. Now, you can use your FBA inventory
to fulfill TikTok. That's one more reason to get on TikTok as a
seller and get that halo effect."


Whether you sell on one platform or many, this episode is
packed with practical tips to help you streamline your logistics
and grow your eCommerce business.
