🛒 Amazon Is Cleaning House. Are Your Listings Safe?

🇺🇸 Made in America Is Having a Moment

🏖️ Pool Skimmers and Pizza Pans Are Hot. No, Really.
Shopify shoppers are stocking up on summer must-haves, and some of the top sellers may surprise you. Bread makers, pool floats, pizza pans, and camping gear are flying off virtual shelves.

📚 BTS in June? Say What?
Remember when back-to-school shopping started in August? Not this year. Parents are already filling carts with supplies, dorm gear, and tech. Seasonal creep is real.

Ordoro on the Road
Our team was in Toronto last week for Shopify Editions, catching up with our longtime partners and soaking up plenty of product wisdom. Between great conversations with Tobi and Harley, and standout moments from the event, we came home energized and inspired.
One takeaway really stuck with us is the importance of keeping software simple and powerful as eCommerce evolves. We are always thinking about how to bring that philosophy into everything we build at Ordoro. Catch the highlights from our time at Shopify Editions.
Commerce Corner Chatter
In this episode of The Business of eCommerce, Jagath Narayan teams up with eCommerce strategist Dale W. Harrison to unpack a fresh way to build brand awareness without dropping big dollars on ads.
They discuss how retail distribution can double as free brand marketing. From shelf space to brand visibility, this is a smart look at when and why DTC brands should lean into retail channels.
If you are thinking about expanding into retail, or just want to make your existing channels work harder for your brand, this one is worth the listen.
That is a wrap on this edition of Commerce Corner. The world of eCommerce is always moving fast, but your operations do not have to feel like a scramble. If you ever want to share what you are seeing, ask us a question, or just say hello, send us a message. We always love hearing from our readers.
