Description
In this episode of Upside News, Leon Rymer and Ali Shariat break down live selling's massive expansion, shifting global trade policies, and severe supply chain cost surges impacting e-commerce sellers. We examine live-shopping platform Whatnot crossing one billion orders and securing a $20 billion valuation. Comparing Whatnot’s run rate against traditional broadcast channels like QVC, they evaluate whether brands should commit the 20+ hours per week required for live selling or leverage third-party agencies.
