A Shopify Podcast To Grow Revenue And Loyalty
On today’s episode of the Shopify Ecommerce Podcast, I enjoyed chatting with Seijin Jung from OpenStore.
Seijin is responsible for marketing more than 40 DTC Shopify brands. He shares critical insights gained over a decade in tech and consumer marketing from Udemy, Facebook, and AngelList.
OpenStore aims to create new opportunities for Shopify founders by providing the fastest and easiest way to sell their businesses. The company recently launched an offering called OpenStore Drive – a service that lets Shopify store owners turn their stores into passive income. OpenStore Drive provides a flexible alternative for founders who may want to step back from running their store but aren’t quite ready to sell it yet.
Tune in to discover how Seijin and his team of ecommerce experts successfully run the largest number of Shopify brands in the world.
This episode is sponsored by UPS Capital, creators of the InsureShield App for Shopify. You work hard for your company’s reputation, but shipping setbacks like porch piracy or in-transit damage are outside your control. The post-purchase experience, including shipping, is a critical part of the customer journey, and protecting against these risks is essential.
This is Seijin’s story…
Inspired by the potential of helping eCommerce entrepreneurs, Seijin Jung became an integral part of the OpenStore team. With a background in digital marketing and a keen interest in eCommerce, Seijin knew that store owners often faced roadblocks when scaling their businesses. This led him to explore new ways to help Shopify merchants overcome these challenges while benefiting from their hard work. OpenStore’s Drive program was the perfect solution, allowing store owners to transition their businesses into passive income streams. By partnering with OpenStore, these entrepreneurs could leverage the company’s expertise in marketing, advertising, customer service, and more, allowing them to focus on other pursuits while still enjoying the rewards of their success. Seijin’s commitment to helping others succeed in eCommerce has made him an invaluable asset to the OpenStore team and the many businesses they have supported.
