Slides presented at the Webrazzi Summit 2012 in Istanbul presenting some of the things that Accel learned after speaking to dozens of internet and ecommerce companies in the region. I summarized these learnings into 5 “Mantras” that are developed in the presentation:
1.“Me too” is not enough: don’t be the 50th private shopping club or Groupon clone. There is no room for you in the market. Think “differentiation”
2.eCommerce is not a cheap journey: be prepared! Most successful ecommerce companies raise more than $50m during their lifetime, so watch every penny you spend and pay specific attention to (1) Inventory and working capital and (2) marketing costs (in particular a repeat basket is not free!)
3.Run your business with numbers: eCommerce is all about numbers and doing a 100 small things right
4.Build your brand by focusing on user experience: a strong brand is necessary to reduce your CAC and increase your profitability and the best way to build it is to focus on providing a great user experience (product, service and payments)
5.Mobile will be bigger than you think: mobile will represent 20%+ of you sales before you realize it!
