The Commerce Club Podcast
Starting and running an e-commerce or product based business can be a very challenging and lonely place.
As founders we tend to wear all the hats (product development, marketing, customer service, sales, operations etc etc...) and sometimes it can be a minefield trying to figure out the solutions to all your business problems alone, so this is where me & The Commerce Club podcast comes in.
The Commerce Club podcast is all about helping you confront the big challenges you are facing in your product based business right now!
You might be an entrepreneur with a great idea for a product, but no idea where to start to bring that business to life.
You might run a fashion brand that has up until now had consistent sales, but whatever you do, you just don't seem to grow.
You might be a jewelry brand founder struggling to find time to juggle your business alongside your full time job.
Whatever your challenge in your product business right now, I want to help you find a solution!
Every week I’ll be chatting exploring topics in the world of e-commerce to help debunk myths, solve your problems and delve in to current industry affairs, as well as chatting directly to founders of small product based businesses, just like yours, helping them unpack and find solutions to their challenges to help them move forward and thrive in the current times.
About your host... In case we haven’t met yet, I’m Sophie Biggerstaff an ex-fashion buyer turned e-commerce business mentor & consultant and I’ve spent the past 12 years working for brands such as Ralph Lauren, Diesel, Kate Spade and Burberry.
Back in 2020 I left the corporate world behind and began help e-commerce business founders generate more sales without investing hundreds of dollars in to ads by getting really strategic with their organic sales strategy, which in turn helps them convert more browsers in to buyers.
So, with that in mind if you are a ecommerce business founder looking to grow their brand, or an e-commerce entreprneur seeking inspiration to start a new business venture, be sure to subscribe, and follow me on socials.

33. How to develop product from scratch and why tech packs and sampling are so important to save you money in your product business with Harriet, freelance fashion designer
Today’s guest is Harriet a freelance fashion and tech pack designer with 10+ years experience working in the fashion industry.
When starting a brand on a budget, tech packs and samples is often something that is neglected due to low start up funds, but it’s actually a huge part of a product development process that should not be missed.
The thing is putting your product in to development without tech packs and sampling is super risky, what might save you money in the short term, may cost you a lot in the long run.
In this episode Harriet and I chat about the product development process and how to eliminate risk by creating tech packs and samples.
