Time to rethink the Christmas Baileys?
Economic headwinds mean that consumers are planning to cut back on Christmas spend, and looking for discounts where possible.
In this mini “sun-lounger” podcast, we look into how spending behaviours are changing, and what impact that will have on retailers.
Are people switching to lower-priced brands? Will there be a revolution on gifting? Is there a social stigma around switching brands to cut costs?
We discuss all of this and more, plus a fair amount of chatter about cheese straws and Baileys!

The new car club community
Without stock to sell, car marketers have been forced to shift their strategies – and that means keeping existing customers and prospects happy while they wait months, sometimes years, for their new car.
Looking at this through a behavioural science lens, what does this mean for consumer buying behaviour?
And with purchases becoming more infrequent, how can marketers keep their brand top of mind?
We discuss some practical ideas for increasing loyalty, getting people talking about your brand in the right way and creating an “in the club” mentality.

How to max your communities for post-summer travel
According to Hopper’s 2023 Travel Trends Report, people are booking holidays at the last minute more than ever before.
In this mini “sun-lounger” podcast, we ask whether this a good thing for marketers when it comes to thinking about shoulder season? Is there still time to market to those people who haven’t yet booked for September and beyond?
And can we avoid shoulder-season discounts?
We delve into consumer behavioural changes, community networks and the true meaning of value to answer these questions.

Human behaviour: influencing consumer change
It was our absolute pleasure to welcome the brilliant Richard Shotton, bestselling author and expert in applying behavioural science to marketing, on our last podcast of the season.
Richard, Ed and Tom dig into some of the fundamentals of behavioural science, and what it actually means for smart marketers.
“What motivates us hasn’t changed in millennia and isn’t going to change. Yet still not many marketers look at human behaviour as a way of influencing consumer change. Those who take the time to learn are giving themselves a headstart,” says Richard.
If you’re looking to get started with behavioural science and listen to some practical tips on how to apply it to your role, this is the podcast for you! Here’s a sneak peek:

Unlock the power of sustainable eCommerce
Sustainability and eCommerce… A contradiction in terms?
On this week’s podcast, we welcome Chloë Thomas, eCommerce guru and pro-podcast host – no pressure, Ed and Tom!
Chloë’s hot topic is sustainability in eCommerce. Surely the two are opposing forces? It’s something we’ve grappled with at Herdify HQ.
“Fundamentally, we need to consume fewer resources, and in the UK we’re amongst the worst offenders,” says Chloë. “After a particularly dark weekend of being freaked out by Armageddon stories, I felt like I was helping people destroy the planet. So now my business is about helping people
put sustainability front and centre.”
