Ecommosaurus is the podcast for ecommerce marketers of physical products brands. Ecommosaurus because it is big. Ecommerce as a channel is huge, it’s growing, and it’s eating physical brick-and-mortar retail. And Ecommosaurus because more than the other digital marketing disciplines, ecommerce for physical products brands requires using old school marketing and logistics skills that aren’t relevant to other digital marketing niches. Lead generation doesn’t require thinking about brand strategy. App marketing doesn’t require supply chain logistics or warehousing or fulfillment strategies.

    Ep 211 - Amazon Accelerate Recap: Big Promises, New Tools, but Do We Believe It?

    Amazon Accelerate delivered a lot of announcements and the Ecommosaurus crew is here to sort through what is genuinely exciting, what is probably overblown, and what deserves a raised eyebrow. The new Seller Assistant is promising to run your business. The new AI ads dashboard wants to manage your campaigns automatically. And Amazon is now offering to handle your Shopify, Walmart, TikTok Shop, and eBay listings from inside Seller Central at no extra charge. That last one is either the most convenient thing Amazon has ever done or a very elegant way to get visibility into your margins and pricing floors. The crew also gets into the Claude and Amazon Quick plugin, whether the new Canvas interface is actually more intuitive or just harder to navigate, and what the Alexa for Shopping transparency updates mean for sellers who have been flying blind on conversational search. The big question sitting underneath all of it: is Amazon about to make third party SaaS tools, agency creative services, and maybe even your DTC website a lot less necessary? Lots to unpack. Not all of it is reassuring. This podcast is sponsored by 50-Pound Boson, an ecommerce marketing agency that aims to help small to medium–sized brand owners grow their ecommerce sales channels.

    Ep 210 - What Agencies Know and Clients Do Not Want to Hear

    Running a business is hard, and most business owners are doing it while also doing ten other things at once. The Ecommosaurus crew is not here to shame anyone. They are here because they live inside ecommerce accounts full time, and there are patterns they see over and over again that nobody is talking about honestly enough. The gap between what an account can deliver and what a client expects is almost always a strategy problem. It is can be something upstream: a product that does not convert, margins that were never going to support the ad spend the brand wanted to run, or an inventory situation that quietly caps everything the agency is trying to do. The crew walks through the hard conversations that get avoided too long, the metrics that get misread as the disease when they are just the symptom, the wholesale terms that silently undercut listings, and the one guru video that sent a perfectly reasonable seller down a very expensive rabbit hole. No judgment. Just the stuff that is much easier to see when you are in the data every single day.

    Ep 209 - Ask the Dinosaurs: Amazon Seller Reddit Is a Cry for Help and We Are Here

    The Ecommosaurus crew goes spelunking through Amazon seller Reddit and finds exactly what you would expect: genuine frustration, cautionary tales, a few great questions, and at least one post about somebody's mom getting scammed out of thousands of dollars. The crew works through the threads, from whether FBA is still worth it in 2026 to the four mistakes killing people's ad spend. They also weigh in on the mom situation, which is as sad as it sounds and raises real questions about the Amazon automation business model. Some of the Reddit takes are smart. Some are classic seller cope. The crew calls both out, answers the questions the threads could not, and reminds everyone that the problems sellers are venting about online are usually the same problems that have always existed. They just have a new audience now. This podcast is sponsored by 50-Pound Boson, an ecommerce marketing agency that aims to help small to medium–sized brand owners grow their ecommerce sales channels.

    Ep 208 - TikTok Shop: From Dance Videos to $112 Billion in GMV

    Amazon spent 25 years building a place people go to buy things. TikTok spent three years building a place people go to be entertained, and commerce followed anyway. The Ecommosaurus crew does a full deep dive into TikTok Shop, where it came from, how fast it is actually growing, and what SMBs need to honestly reckon with before jumping in. The opportunity is real but it is not what most people assume. Discovery works differently here, the customer skews younger and more impulsive, live shopping converts at rates that would make any Amazon seller jealous, and a genuinely good product with the right creator relationship can still outperform a bigger competitor's bigger budget. That almost never happens on Amazon anymore. They also get into fulfillment options, inventory volatility, the going-viral-and-running-out-of-stock nightmare scenario, and why the right framing for TikTok Shop is not Amazon versus TikTok but what happens when you run both smart.

    Ep 207 - Fake Receipts, Fake Labels, Real Consequences: August Ecom Recap

    August was a month full of people and platforms getting caught doing things they should not have been doing, and the Ecommosaurus crew is here for all of it. AI-generated fake expense receipts are now showing up in over 70% of flagged fraud cases, Made in USA labels are being faked at scale while the platforms that can detect it look the other way, and Amazon got $600 million in tariff refunds that are not making their way back to sellers or shoppers anytime soon. The crew also gets into Amazon quietly reinstating binding arbitration with zero notice, Shein stalling out in a post de minimis world, DTC brands abandoning Google and running toward Amazon as organic traffic dries up and ad costs keep climbing, and the genuinely unsettling story of Amazon shredding rare books to train its AI. Plus Meta wrote a $16 billion check to settle its teen addiction lawsuit, and someone has to talk about what that actually means. August had consequences. A lot of them.

    Ep 206 - Six Pack of Ecom: Ads, Inventory, AI Models, and a Crocs Mascot Named Niles

    The Ecommosaurus crew cracks open a six pack of ecom topics and gets into it. Some of it is the kind of thing Amazon would prefer you not notice until it is already affecting your numbers. Some of it is policy changes with bad timing that will hit sellers hardest right before Q4. Some of it is regulatory shifts that snuck up on entire product categories. And some of it is just Google quietly tilting the playing field in a direction that favors brands with physical stores. The crew debates what sellers should actually do about all of it, whether Amazon is making these moves for sellers or at their expense, and where to focus attention when there are six things happening at once and Q4 is already breathing down your neck. Oh, and Crocs got a mascot named Niles. That happened too.

    Ep 205 - Subscriptions 101: Not Just For Your Streaming Services

    Subscribe and save is everywhere now, from Amazon to TikTok, but does it actually work for your business or your wallet? This episode, Parker, Sonny, Amy, and Amber get real about their own subscription habits, from dog food to kitty litter, and dig into what makes a subscription model worth it versus what makes it a trap. The crew breaks down the math behind subscription savings (spoiler: it adds up more than you'd think on heavy, bulky items), the "sign up for the discount, cancel before it renews" strategy everyone's guilty of, and why Walmart just pulled the plug on its own subscription discounts. Along the way, they get into the psychology of the unsubscribe button and what it means for brands trying to build recurring revenue. Whether you're running subscriptions for your own products or just trying to figure out if that next "subscribe and save" prompt is worth clicking, this one's got the consumer and seller perspective side by side.

    Ep 204 - Christmas in August: Everything You Need to Do for BFCM Right Now

    If you are waiting until fall to think about Black Friday, you are already behind. The Ecommosaurus crew breaks down everything sellers need to know about BFCM 2026 inventory planning, starting with the hard truth that FBA cutoff dates are closer than they feel and freight timelines are less forgiving than sellers remember. They walk through the key deadlines for Prime Big Deal Days and BFCM, when you actually need to ship versus when Amazon says you need to ship, and why arriving on the official cutoff date can still mean your inventory sits in a parking lot trailer for three weeks while Amazon ships Black Friday orders around it. The crew also gets into Q4 storage surcharges and how to avoid getting crushed by them, the placement fee debate, AWD versus straight FBA, how hyper-seasonal SKUs get punished by Amazon's capacity algorithm, and whether Walmart WFS is the underrated Q4 margin play that multichannel sellers are sleeping on. Hot takes, hard deadlines, and a clear action plan for the sellers who want to go into BFCM ready instead of scrambling.
