Just as soon as we posted the last blog, Facebook updated their ads manager interface again. However, Facebook has slowed down this month focusing on further updates to streamline the whole Facebook Ad experience. Here are the main updates for September. 

Here at Blend Commerce, our marketing team has been researching, collecting and putting together a new blog series where each quarter, we take a look at the latest feature updates from our Partners and what these mean for Shopify merchants.

After a brief hiatus, we’ve circled back to look at Facebook’s new updates and are glad the new interface is now up and running. Along with this, Facebook has introduced even more updates to streamline the user experience and offer more personalisable features for Shopify merchants.

Many Shopify merchants are under the impression that their store is automatically backed up when changes are made on it. Unfortunately, though, this is incorrect. The platform is backed up, but not the store itself. This is why it is imperative that merchants seek a method to ensure their business is constantly backed up, as it could be detrimental if they end up losing any of their precious data. This is where Rewind comes in.

We have all had to experience a huge change in our lives; something we have never had to go through before. Home is not just somewhere we go to sleep, but is now our office, our schools, our exercise and even for some of us, our pubs! Life has changed so much, but it does not all have to be in a negative way. Here at Blend, we have been trying to think of ways to make the best of a bad situation, perhaps by spending more time doing activities we love, or taking the time to learn a new skill.

As we have seen over the past few weeks, events and conferences have been cancelled to protect those who would have been attending from having to be in a public place, and it will be a long time before this industry can get back to where it once was. The events industry still wants consumers to get the information they need, and so some have turned to virtual events to implement this.

But what events are out there and which are relevant to your business?
