My guest on today’s show is an accidental ecommerce entrepreneur and a programmer / developer at heart. He is the founder of FindTape.com.
He stumbled into ecommerce after an initial rejection to build a website for a an adhesive tape distributor.
We went unto build a dropship ecommerce store that was supplied by this distributor.

  Message from Our Sponsors: This episode is brought to you by Salsify. As an online retailer or supplier, you are well aware that ACCURATE PRODUCT CONTENT drives more sales...
However, as your store starts to scale the harsh reality is that maintaining product description content becomes more and more of a challenge to ecommerce teams.
Enter Salsify...
Salsify is a SaaS based product content management platform built specifically for online retailers and brand owners.
I recently took Salsify on a test drive and here are the glaring advantages etailers stand to gain:

- Your entire product catalog can be accessed by any department in a centralised hub,
- There’s a workflow setup that ensures no fields go amiss when product data is published to multiple channels such as Amazon, your Google Merchant account or just directly to your ecommerce store
- Salsify tells you when it spots missing critical fields across your product catalog

It is really a modern, flexible and robust product management platform I recommend if your store and brand's product catalog changes often and if you publish to numerous channels often.
