2023 in eCommerce & Shopify

2023 Year Review by ECORN CEO

‍

Hey, it’s Daniil from ECORN. This was an important year for our team and eCommerce industry. We decided to make a conclusion of the year.

This year was not very easy with current maker situation. Many brands are bleeding, running low on funds while CPA is getting higher for many industries.

But great opportunities also appeared in 2023 and we believe that main one is consumer products in AI.

‍

I wish you great end of the year! Let’s review our year in topics of our blog.
