Bringing Nature into the Office
One of the first things you'll notice about Eton is his warm and engaging personality. As we started our conversation, we couldn't help but talk about the unique cork wall behind him. It turns out, this was a deliberate choice to bring a touch of nature into the often sterile office environment. It's a small detail but highlights how Eton approaches both life and work—with thoughtful, innovative touches.
The Israeli Tech Scene
Eton based in Tel Aviv, gave us some fantastic insights into why Israel has become a hotbed for tech innovation, especially in the eCommerce industry. From military tech spin-offs to a robust ecosystem that encourages risk-taking and innovation, Israel is a unique breeding ground for cutting-edge tech companies. Despite ongoing conflicts and challenges, businesses continue to thrive, creating technologies that have global impacts.
The Power of Video in eCommerce
So, what makes video so powerful in eCommerce? Video can significantly boost conversion rates by offering a richer, more engaging shopping experience. Eton shared how Vimmi started by creating live shopping solutions and evolved into a full-fledged video-based eCommerce platform. This includes live shopping, shoppable videos and integrated influencer marketing, providing a holistic approach to video commerce.
