Live Selling Helps LA-based Sustainable Fashion Brand ‘Timeless Threads’ Grow 3x

Sarah Bertram, owner of Timeless Threads, started off by selling on social media and quickly embraced live selling, as it allowed her to use her personality to expand her sales. In 2019, Sarah moved her family from Michigan to Los Angeles to follow her passion for sustainable fashion and launched a Made in the U.S.A sustainable brand, WestWind, in 2020. Entrepreneurs such as Sarah are the catalyst and foundation behind live selling growth in the U.S.

“Everyone was using CommentSold, so it was a no-brainer to join. There would be absolutely no way I could sell the volume that I sell or do what I do without CommentSold,” said Bertram. “The waitlist capabilities and waitlist authorization is so valuable, especially for me in the production industry and calling out quantity on future manufacturing of styles. The app has been absolutely amazing, providing direct access to customers with push notifications.”

We are thrilled to continue to partner with WestWind and help provide a channel to share more about sustainable fashion,” said Finn Faldi, Chief Business Officer of CommentSold.

Forrester: Global Tech Spend Will Reach $4.4 Trillion In 2023 Despite A Turbulent Macroeconomic Environment

Forrester: Global Tech Spend Will Reach $4.4 Trillion In 2023 Despite A Turbulent Macroeconomic Environment

Forrester Logo | Clutch Marketing

Software and IT services, fueled by cloud, will capture nearly two-thirds of global tech spend by 2027

According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) Global Tech Market Forecast, 2022 To 2027, in 2023, global tech spend will grow 4.7% to reach $4.4 trillion. The Middle East and Africa (MEA) and Asia Pacific (APAC) will experience the fastest regional tech spend growth, despite macroeconomic challenges of slowing liquidity, tight labor markets, and geopolitical turmoil. By 2027, tech software and IT services will capture 66% of global tech spend — up from 60% pre-pandemic. A boost in cloud application and platform services will aid this growth. Forrester forecasts that the public cloud market will reach $1 trillion by 2026, capturing nearly a quarter of global tech spend.

Read More: How to Create A Seamless Workflow Experience To Expedite The Sales Process

Despite facing a difficult 2023, tech executives can accelerate their organizations’ growth by both improving operational efficiency and investing in areas such as research and development, cybersecurity, and enterprise digital transformation. In 2023, Forrester projects regional tech spend growth to be:

  • 5.6% in the Middle East and Africa. By 2025, Africa’s internet economy could reach $180 billion, more than 5% of the continent’s GDP, while the Saudi government plans to spend $25 billion on tech. As cloud adoption accelerates, Nigeria and South Africa will see the potential for fast R&D investment growth over the next two years.
  • 5.4% in Asia Pacific. China’s tech spend is forecasted to see at least 7% annual growth rates from 2024 to 2027. Software and IT services investment is a high priority for large Japanese companies, while India’s domestic tech spend grows by 9.6% in 2023. Longer term, R&D investment will also encourage tech spend in the Asia Pacific region.
  • 5.1% in North America. Interest rate hikes, high inflation, and low real GDP growth are dampening North America’s tech spend outlook. In 2023, US tech spend growth will be 5.4% — down from 7.4% the year prior. Yet North American tech purchases are expected to grow between 5.6% to 5.8% from 2024 to 2027 due to increased R&D investments.
  • 3.6% in Europe. High inflation and weak business confidence will persist in the region. Additionally, the UK, Italy, and Germany will all see unemployment rates rise as their economies fall into recession. Tech purchases are forecasted to grow, however, between 4.8% and 5.5% from 2024 to 2027, enabled by enterprise cloud adoption.

“Despite macroeconomic uncertainty, global tech spend will surpass more than $4 trillion in 2023, as technology remains crucial for businesses,” said Michael O’Grady, principal forecast analyst at Forrester. “Over the next five years, we anticipate tech spend growth to increase even further globally. Factors including increased R&D investment in the Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific, and North America; companies in APAC investing more in software and IT services; and accelerated cloud adoption in MEA and Europe will all continue to drive tech spending.”
