Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

SLUMS are the lands of spiritual happiness whenever you
help children there by Early Childhood Education
Everything starts with the meaning of Oscar winner film
"Slumdog millionaires"....
"It is written when Jamal - a young slummer, wins the famous TV show
"Who to be a Millionaires"
3. WE CHOOSE THE COUNTRY
INDIA
• Belongs to South Asia - the
largest slum region in the world
• SLUMS is one of the most
popular keywords when
searching about India
• 65 million people are living in
slums in India, in which focus on
2 biggest slums: Dhravi and
Maharastra.
• TripAdvisor: India is the one of
the most interesting cheap price
destination of travelling in the
world.
OUR TARGET
TARGET CONSUMER
• Income: AB+, live in urban
• Interested in voluntourism
• Want to discover the unseen things and
help people in slums
SLUMMERS
• Slum family : more than 8 millions
household in Dhravi and Maharastra
• Income: DEF, live in urban slum, low
educated
• They focus on making money all day to
satisfy basic need and don’t have so
much time for their children
• Education is slum's hope. They try as
hard as possible to give their children
education.
4. + Voluntourism is the new travel trend
+ Current mechanism: tourists will go to slums to see real life of slummers. They will
donate an amount of money to help the poor in slum after ending the journey.
• Advantage: Tourists have experiences so far different to everything they hear from
media. Slums are not all about poor.
• Disadvantage: Some slummers might feel uncomfortable because they do not want
their lives to be “seen” directly by strangers'eyes. The donation activity also widens gap
between the poor and the rich. It is even better to be invisible.
The current mechanism of volunteer tourism agency brings partly
negative effect: makes slummers want to be invisible.

"I like it here because people are friendly and look out for me. If my husband is working late
and does the night shift I don't feel scared because I think this is the safest place for us.
If I had more money, I would probably build a bigger house."
ESAKKIAMAL, 40 Y/o, Housewife - also does embroidery work at home.
"We stay in a slum but we have our religion, our culture and our tradition," he said. "We always
stay together and we have a very good sense of community. If there is a neighbor who has a
problem or a festival to celebrate, we do it with them.”
Narsir, 37 Y/o, pottery maker.

BUSINESS VALUE
8. ROLE OF ECE TO OUR BUSINESS
In general, ECE activates potential of
children’s brain and bring lots of
benefits to them in the future.
Especially for ones living in slums,
ECE is LIFE-SAVER.
Because these kids must fight to
survive harder than any other
children, so that we need to equip
them with skills, ability to improvise
and adapt as soon as possible.
Children are angels bringing
happiness to everybody
=> Helping children in slums by
teaching them ECE is the way to
experience the happiness of
tourists.
9. LIFE-SAVER + INVISIBLE + HAPPINESS
=> We create superhero teams who
are the life-savers of slum children by
teaching them ECE online (training
about ECE for superheroes online).
Then, when they experience the tour
especially organized by slummers,
the joy and admiration from slum
children will bring happiness to the
superheroes - the tourists.
BIG IDEA
Because in India slum, children always believe in heros
10. We choose the most suitable pillars in ECE to
transfer them into many package for tourist and
they can learn online before go to slum area
+ Package Baymax - HEALTH: for those who
want to teach children the skills to be able
to have life safety (Practical life skills: self-
defense, prevent accident…)
+ Package Spiderman - SAFETY: teach
children healthy and distinguish food,
nutrition… (Physical science )
+ Package Cypher - LANGUAGE: teach
children English to enhance
communication and connection with the
world, “get a ticket to get out of slums”
Our business is a online platform, where tourist
can find many slums destination in the world (at
first will be India’s slums)
Then we connect voluntourist and slummers by
our education packages and tours organized by
slummers
We let slummers organize their tour around
their place on the special transportation (hero
bus) and teach children on this bus
Tourists can also reach several destinations
each tour as well as teach more children and
create more tour-guide job for slummers
MECHANISISM
Each package will help children activate potential of brain
11. • Create more tour-guide and destinations in slum
areas

many more destinations
• Develop tourism in their slum
➔ Sustainable and we can expand more activities,
more tours due to reinvestment by returned profit
