15 - Buy an E-Commerce Business: Tips from an Aggregator
Today I talk to Golan Manor, who runs acquisitions for an e-commerce aggregator. For those who don't know, e-commerce aggregators are companies that acquire smaller e-commerce businesses. It's a big trend in e-commerce right now, and there are lots of aggregators out there gobbling up e-commerce companies. And TCM Digital, Golan's company, is one of those aggregators. So he gives a ton of information that is valuable to anybody considering buying an e-commerce business. For example, at the end of the interview, Golan shares five very specific tactics from TCM's playbook about how to quickly boost sales of an e-commerce product or business that has been acquired. So this is their own checklist — what they actually do. Having done 28 e-commerce acquisitions, these are like the top five low-hanging-fruit things they do to boost sales of a recent acquisition. So these are things that you yourself, if you go out there and acquire an e-commerce business, you can implement. And by the way, even with all the competition, even with all these aggregators running around, Golan doesn't think that it's too late for an entrepreneur or individual buyer to find good acquisition opportunities in e-commerce. In fact, he thinks there's still plenty of time. So there's that. Enjoy my conversation, my very informative conversation, with Golan Manor.
