This newsletter started off life as an antidote to all the bad news around Covid, and there has been a dearth of good news for ecommerce and the economy in general recently - but it does seem that there may be some little green shoots to indicate a turn around is already on its way.
Fuel prices are finally starting to come down, the UK economy defied forecasts and actually grew in the last quarter, unemployment is low and vacancies are high. There is even a report that fintech Atom Bank has made an operating profit!
Who knows, maybe CACs will drop to a more sensible level soon as well, and ecommerce growth will balance out after the stupendous acceleration of the last couple of years.
