Save Your Margins: Pricing & Profit Optimization for Tariff-Impacted Businesses

Author: Andrew Youderian | e-Commerce Entrepreneur June 6, 2025 Duration: 42:46

What if your inventory could forecast itself—or your website merchandised itself based on who was browsing? This week, I'm joined by Drew Marconi, CEO and co-founder of Intelligems.io, to explore how AI is unlocking new ways for brands to manage forecasting, pricing, and marketing. If you've been curious about how AI can actually improve your margins (not just make cool images), you'll want to tune in.

Listen in as Drew breaks down how AI is reshaping eCommerce, from hyper-personalized site experiences to margin-aware merchandising strategies. We also talk about the difference between forecasting for fashion versus CPG, why most brands are wasting money on acquisition, and how to build an AI foundation that works. Plus, Drew shares practical tips on how to start testing AI in your business—even if you're skeptical.
