    I Gave AI 3 Prompts To Prepare My Shopify Store For Black Friday Sep 30, 2026
    Show notes

    Black Friday is coming — but is your Shopify store actually ready?

    In this episode of Winning With Shopify, Nick shares three AI prompts that Shopify merchants can use to prepare for Black Friday and uncover problems before the biggest shopping weekend of the year.

    Rather than using AI to write another Black Friday email, these prompts are designed to make AI analyse your ecommerce data, find weaknesses and identify where you're potentially leaving money on the table.

    You'll learn how to use AI to:

    • Run a BFCM Readiness Check and identify the biggest things you need to fix before Black Friday
    • Find your biggest revenue leaks before Q4
    • Run an Automation Stress Test to see whether your email marketing is ready for increased traffic
    • Identify the biggest Black Friday email mistakes brands make
    • Understand why discounting can destroy your profit even when sales and revenue increase
    • Think differently about the long-term value of customers acquired during Black Friday
    • Avoid simply copying your competitors' Black Friday offers
    • Plan what happens after the Black Friday purchase
    • Focus on profit rather than getting distracted by record revenue

    The Black Friday Discount Trap: How 20% Off Can Destroy Your Shopify Business Sep 17, 2026
    Show notes

    Black Friday can create record sales for Shopify brands — but it can also quietly destroy your profit.

    After 19 peak ecommerce seasons, Nick breaks down the biggest Black Friday mistake many brands make: focusing on revenue growth without understanding the true cost of discounting.

    A 20% discount might look like a simple way to increase conversions, but the impact goes much deeper. It affects your margins, your ROAS targets, your average order value, your fulfilment workload and even the long-term value of the customers you acquire.

    In this episode of Winning With Shopify, Nick uses real ecommerce maths to show why discounting can completely change the economics of your business — and why more sales doesn't always mean more profit.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why a 20% discount can reduce your profit far more than expected
    • The real impact of Black Friday discounts on gross margin
    • How Google Ads and Meta Ads costs change the maths behind promotions
    • Why your usual ROAS target may no longer work during Black Friday
    • How discount-acquired customers can impact long-term profitability
    • Better alternatives to heavy discounting
    • How to create Black Friday offers that protect margin while still driving sales
    • The 5-point checklist every Shopify brand should complete before discounting


    The biggest Black Friday mistake?

    Many brands assume a 20% discount means they simply need 20% more sales to make up the difference. But discounts don't just reduce revenue — they change your entire acquisition model.

    Once you factor in product margins, advertising costs, fulfilment and customer lifetime value, a successful-looking Black Friday campaign can actually leave your business less profitable.

    Nick also shares alternative strategies including bundles, rewards, tiered offers, exclusives and value-added incentives that help brands compete during peak season without simply racing to the biggest discount.

    In this episode:
    (00:00) - Why 20% Off Can Destroy Your Profit
    (02:26) - The Black Friday Profit Maths
    (05:05) - Adding Google & Meta Ad Costs

    How I Built A 7-Figure Shopify Brand With AI, Automation & Almost No Team Sep 14, 2026
    Show notes

    What if you could build a 7-figure Shopify brand without building a 50-person team?

    In this episode of Winning With Shopify, Nick is joined by Phil Atkinson, founder of Greenphones, to reveal how AI and automation are changing the way ecommerce businesses operate — from analytics and Google Ads to marketing, research and customer service.

    Phil has built a radically lean ecommerce operation, using AI as a team of specialised “employees” with different roles, access to business data and the tools needed to analyse performance and help run the business.

    Rather than simply using AI to write content, this episode explores what happens when you start giving AI access to the systems and information that actually run an ecommerce business — and whether one person can use AI to compete with much larger teams.

    You’ll learn:

    • How to build AI employees for specific ecommerce roles
    • Why Phil started using AI throughout his business
    • How AI can analyse business data and improve decision-making
    • Whether AI can actually manage and optimise Google Ads
    • What AI can replace — and what it can't
    • How AI is changing the used-phone industry
    • How to use AI for marketing, research and advertising
    • Whether AI customer service is good enough for ecommerce
    • How Shopify brands should start implementing AI


    If you're a Shopify founder, ecommerce manager or marketer trying to understand how AI can save time, improve decision-making and help a smaller team compete with much larger businesses, this episode is for you.

    Show notes

    If I had to build a Shopify brand from scratch today, I would do almost everything differently.

    In this episode, Nick breaks down how AI will transform ecommerce sales, why the old Black Friday playbook is becoming outdated and how smarter brands are using AI to improve discovery, create better offers and turn seasonal shoppers into long-term customers.

    You’ll learn:

    • How AI shopping assistants could change Black Friday and ecommerce discovery
    • Why Shopify brands need to make their products easier for AI to understand and recommend
    • How AI can analyse customer behaviour and create personalised offers
    • How brands can use real-time data to improve ad creative and campaign performance
    • Why the smartest Shopify brands use Black Friday as a customer acquisition opportunity, not just a discount event
    • How to convert Black Friday shoppers into repeat customers after Cyber Weekend


    Nick also shares five tools Shopify brands can use to prepare for the biggest shopping period of the year, covering AI-powered marketing, ecommerce SEO, conversion optimisation, inventory planning and fulfilment.

    How I Built a £1M Ecommerce Brand and Sold It - Shopify Growth Stories, with PPC & SEO Aug 31, 2026
    Show notes

    Most ecommerce brands are built on traffic they don't own. This founder changed that — and it helped him build and sell a £1M Shopify brand.

    Jayden Clark built Woodlark Garden Luxury into a seven-figure ecommerce business before selling it for £515,000. But the business started in a vulnerable position - with 95% of revenue coming from Google Ads and very little organic traffic.

    In this episode, Jayden reveals how he moved away from relying purely on paid acquisition, built a scalable SEO strategy, increased organic revenue and created a more valuable ecommerce business that became attractive to buyers.

    Jayden also shares lessons from his latest ecommerce venture, Camper Nation, which generated £500k in organic revenue in its first 18 months, and explains why building owned traffic can become one of the biggest advantages for Shopify brands.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why relying too heavily on Google Ads can make your Shopify business vulnerable
    • How SEO helped transform a paid traffic business into a valuable ecommerce asset
    • Why chasing competitive keywords is often the wrong SEO strategy for growing brands
    • How building topical authority can generate thousands of organic visitors
    • How long-tail SEO helped capture high-intent customers ready to buy
    • Why organic traffic can increase the value and saleability of an ecommerce business
    • How Jayden uses SEO strategies across multiple ecommerce brands
