These powerhouse retailers are the gold standard, yet best practices can be learned and much information is readily available knowing where consumers go to purchase. Just as Red Box DVDs or Facebook were once the only players\u00a0 in their industries \u2014 there\u2019s always opportunity for competition to swoop in and take share.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Do you think that creating a safe environment where all voices are welcome, heard and respected is essential for e-Commerce success?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I certainly recommend that any business, ecommerce or otherwise,\u00a0 maximizes both their consumer reach and ability to obtain the best talent by following these types of policies. I think in reality much of this does not occur in both small and large businesses. Often leadership shows preference to hiring \u201cyes\u201d people and demonstrates less interest in welcoming all points-of-view taken as equal value. I\u2019ve also experienced (from top level to entry level) once feedback is given it\u2019s assumed by each individual that their idea is the \u201cright one\u201d and will be applied, if not they feel they weren\u2019t heard (and vice versa where it seems there was no action taken by companies after asking for employee feedback, so why should they speak up?). Investing in a strong HR team that wholeheartedly has buy-in at the top level can guide leadership on these principles by making them part of the company culture on an on-going basis.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">In your opinion, which are the best ways to humanize your brand in the age of social media and artificial intelligence?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Video! <a href=\"https:\/\/ditech.media\/news\/video-marketing\/creating-and-optimizing-videos-for-the-internet\/\">Video<\/a> is a way to show actual use of a product or demonstration of a service. Just like most of us had more video calls in 2020 than ever before in our lives, it really is the next best thing there is to real life. But also, videos showing real experiences not just self-promoting commercials.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Also, customization!

Know that the Marketing discipline is vast. There\u2019s a lot that gets shoved in to the \u201cmarketing\u201d bucket depending on the company and the job description they decide to push out (which is often a copy\/paste from other job descriptions). Figure out which specific pillars or subcategories of marketing you are most interested in. They may change over time, that\u2019s fine! Get experiences in as many as you can!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Find a mentor. And by that I don\u2019t mean reach out to 25 people at one time with a question and get their responses and call the task completed. Find ONE mentor who you meet with regularly (regardless if it\u2019s once a week, every other, month, or quarter &#8211; whatever) and stick to it for a long period of time. Ask questions, listen, take notes, re-read your notes, take action on what was discussed. And be the one to own setting it up on the calendar. You\u2019re getting something for nothing, you do the grunt work. Say \u201cThank You\u201d and express your gratitude regularly, someone\u2019s time is rarely going to be this cheap. With a mentor, you\u2019re also <a href=\"https:\/\/ditech.media\/news\/social-media-marketing\/networking-remotely-using-linkedin\/\">networking<\/a>. This established person could provide some leads or even land you an internship or actual position. Take this seriously as I think many entry level people do not &#8211; at least I\u2019m not seeing it. The times I have experienced people wanting a mentor it\u2019s been the one and done, no follow-through or continuation &#8211; that\u2019s not gonna cut it or be very valuable to yourself going forward.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Ms. Morisse, please introduce yourself to our readers Hello!
