If you want to succeed in the e-commerce world in 2025, you have to be ready to defy some “tried-and-true” industry best practices.
Today we’re joined by growth marketing extraordinaire Alex Greifeld. She shares what led her to launch her blog and newsletter, "No Best Practices", which offers a fresh perspective on understanding a brand's DNA and traditional marketing strategies.
“There’s a lot of mythbusting to be done in the ecommerce and online marketing world.”
We’re dissecting the unique hurdles and opportunities in fashion, infomercials, and products requiring patience to see results. Alex offers practical advice for e-commerce newcomers looking to see results from Facebook ads, direct response campaigns, and even dropshipping.
We’re also spilling the secrets to customer retention, with Alex emphasizing that genuine retention improvements often stem from product quality, not just clever marketing. Finally, we’re talking about why most DTC brands are either bankrupt or destined to remain penny stocks, as well as the art of creating compelling messaging to take your brand awareness to a whole new level!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
