They’ve interviewed industry leaders, investors and commerce experts to give you five trends that will shape eCommerce in 2021 and beyond. And while 2020 was a free kick for many in eCommerce, the game is going to get tougher with increased competition, fulfilment pressures and higher acquisition costs will be the upcoming tests. This report goes into detail on what to expect so you can plan for it. Sadly, future still doesn’t hold hoverboards.

About your co-hosts: Jess and Stef Dadon from TWOOBS


Stef launched How Two Live with her sister Jess as a daily diary in 2012, and it has since grown into a global platform with a tribe of loyal fans. The duo regularly work with the biggest brands in fashion and beyond, including ASOS, Westfield, Maybelline, Shopbop, and The Zoe Report, and also love to support and promote emerging designers.  In 2015 their first book #HowTwoLive was published in Australia, the US, and the UK, and in 2016 the sisters created TWOOBS; a line of comfortable, fashion-forward, and animal-friendly sandals that are known to regularly sell out. Their most recent venture, the How Two Live Store, is a multi-brand pop-up retail concept that houses up-and-coming designers, with one of Australia’s major retailers Glue Store recently playing host to the pop-up over Christmas.
