E463: Our Longest Tenured Employee is Leaving - July Brand Report 2022

Mike and Dave ponder EcomCrew's early years as they bid a bittersweet goodbye to the company's first employee.   July was an interesting month. For me, my top line number went down, but my bottom line number went up – thanks to reduced PPC costs, raised product prices, and AGL.   Dave, on the other hand, rants about the ridiculous sales tax being imposed on businesses based in British Columbia.   We also discuss our takes on 3PL, which Dave and I are approaching very differently: I'm slowly weaning off of it, while Dave is heavily reliant on it (for an inevitable yet valid reason).   In more devastating news: Abby, EcomCrew's employee #1 and brand manager is leaving us. This was bound to happen eventually, but it still feels very sad that it's actually happening.   That concludes our July Brand Report. It's definitely going to be challenging without Abby and we'll miss her for sure, but that's life. We wish her all the best in her journey.   We never have enough time on the podcast to cover everything in our Brand Report, so if you want to see the full-length report, check out the blogpost here.
