Ecommerce is the proving ground for marketers.
If you can make it in ecommerce marketing, you can make it anywhere. Marketers in other industries own vanity metrics, lead generation, and the ever-evasive brand awareness metrics.
Owning revenue is the ultimate test for any marketer, and that is what you, the ecommerce marketer, have been doing long before it was cool.
You can now master ecommerce marketing with this Minidegree and become a Certified Ecommerce Marketer with a firm grasp of strategy and tactics that will make you in the top 1% of marketers. Companies will fight over you.
Online retail sales will reach $6.17 trillion by 2023.
Remember when everyone wanted to get into ecom because it was hot, new, and exciting? You can forget about nostalgia because it’s still hot, new, and existing… Just bigger. Way bigger.
Your market is the world, your customers are eager to buy online, and ecommerce has grown by at least 10% every year. This does come with a challenge, though…
There are more than 12 million ecommerce businesses in the world today. This number keeps growing, and your competition is more fierce than ever. You need a competitive advantage others don’t have.
Marketing is your last real competitive advantage.
Your product, fulfillment, and customer support are table stakes. It’s the minimum your customer expects, not a way to build a competitive moat.
The biggest ecommerce brands are growing not just because they ship on time but because they understand the strategy it takes to win in such a saturated market.
The winners understand they need to invest in their brand, position to serve the underserved market segments, acquire customers for a lower cost than competitors and retain them longer. This training teaches you all that and more.
This minidegree has everything you need to win at ecommerce marketing.
Ecommerce is unforgiving. Acquiring customers is great but won’t save you unless you retain them. And even if you nail retention too, you’ll still lose if you don’t understand the strategic questions of where to play, how to win, and how to measure your marketing efforts.
That’s why this training has 4 segments that will turn you into a strong-all-round ecommerce marketer:
- Customer Acquisition
- Customer Retention
- Measurement
- Strategy

Customer Retention Track
The money is in the returning customers.

CXL is the most robust e-learning platform for digital marketers. From day one when I discovered their blog filled with well-documented articles up until now, when I am finishing my digital psychology and persuasion degree, they became and remained my go-to source of educational content. The neuromarketing degree helped shape me into a better digital marketer professional and scale my knowledge about 10x. The courses and minidegrees were the best educational investment I have made, and I would always recommend it to anyone who want to nurture their marketing career.

I got to know about CXL in a Product Marketing bootcamp.
CXL helped me in transitioning into tech in a non-tech role. I got a Growth Hacker role 3 weeks into the Growth Marketing Minidegree.
I am now a PMM at VIOU digital. I recommend CXL to everyone I know that wants to learn about Growth.

I was skeptical at first but the CXL course on product marketing is money, in every sense of the word, especially with ProfitWell’s Patrick Campbell talking about monetisation.
I was aware of a lot of what Patrick and others spoke of but the value lies in structuring your knowledge so you have a clear mind and can take more onboard. Perfect time to do a free trial, watch that (even if you skim most of it) and then join the Olympics. Sounds like a plug, it kind of is but I think it is a good idea nonetheless.

Look no further if you are seeking a place for new knowledge around topics as: CRO, Growth marketing, Digital analytics etc.
Helped me upping my CRO knowledge and skills. Mostly on testing, conversion copy and calculating results.

The best and most practical, in-depth training. PERIOD. Blog articles alone are jam-packed with tons of “practical-value”.
CXL should be the standard for marketing knowledge and training. I’m aiming to finish 3 minidegrees by the end of next year and will start off with technical marketing.
Thank you so much Peep for starting CXL and the amazing work you’re doing.
