Skincare brand Lux Unfiltered turned to Nuanced Media for its debut on Amazon, aiming to duplicate its robust brand presence outside the eCommerce giant to this new storefront.

Case Study: Juiced Bikes

To make Juiced Bikes’ Affirm financing offer more enticing, Disruptive developed an ad creative for each e-bike available through this payment mode.

Moreover, it retargeted all visitors who visited the web pages of those bikes in the past 30 days. The campaign resulted in a 15.3x return on ad spend and a $52,960 revenue increase.

  • eCommerce web development agencies

  • eCommerce SEO agencies

eCommerce SEO agencies use keyword research, product page optimization, technical SEO, content marketing, and link-building to improve your search engine ranking. Your early appearance on search results pages can drive curiosity, leading to more people visiting your site or storefront.

Why Partner With an eCommerce Agency?

Growing an online business in a changing digital landscape requires support from a team that understands your strategy and operational challenges. Whether you plan to or just started running an online store, an eCommerce marketing agency can serve as your remote team or beef up your internal staff in 6 ways: 

1. Leverage expertise and experience

  • Deep understanding 

An eCommerce agency possesses deep knowledge about your industry or niche's consumer market, competition, trends, and customer demands/preferences. At the same time, its team helps you understand the right people to involve and how—including the various key people in your company, such as I.T., legal, and finance—to achieve your intended results.

  • Proven track record

eCommerce agencies help online entrepreneurs effectively launch and grow their online stores. Some firms excel in B2C and local marketing while others have had B2B and global eCommerce delivery experience.

Example: DoALL Saws

DoALL Saws, America's pioneer and leading metal-cutting industrial band saw manufacturer, chose Lounge Lizard for its website redesign, which included its online store. They migrated from Magento 1 to Magento 2, simplifying the search for saw blades, parts, and manuals. The agency created a Saw Selector feature to guide the buyers through questions and visual options, enhancing and hastening the buying experience. 

The team also revamped the product pages to include related items, a lifetime warranty, and financing options, encouraging visitors to explore more pages and stay on the site longer. Other improvements included a shorter "Request a Quote" form, more engaging manuals, and an easier checkout system. These changes resulted in a 20% increase in sales and a 15% decrease in website-related inquiries at its call center.


2. Tailored solutions

  • Customized strategies

As subject-matter experts, eCommerce agencies can tailor-fit a strategy to attract your target shoppers. Its specialists can also bring a fresh perspective to your operations, including spotting issues and opportunities. 

  • Problem-solving 

eCommerce marketers can analyze your challenges (for instance, poor website/app user experience or low conversion rate) and determine the tech stack and best practices for solving them.

Example: Lifetech NuroKor

Marketing funds were going down the drain for UK-based Lifetech NuroKor—a wearable pain management tech provider. Its website failed to win orders and targeted audiences weren’t acting on their ads. Favoured came to the rescue by overhauling its website navigation and deploying ads, emphasizing how NuroKor gadgets' therapeutic electric currents can improve daily living "on their terms." The brand's conversion rate leaped to 3% from 0.4% while sales consistently grew at around 15% monthly within 10 months.


3. Technical proficiency

  • Platform selection

If you're new to eCommerce, agencies can guide you in choosing the right platform (Shopify, Magento, or others) based on your product line and budget. Or they can introduce you to new platform features and processes that will coordinate your joint campaign implementation and tracking efforts.

  • Technical implementation

Agencies can handle complex tasks from landing page and website development to integration and optimization so your shoppers can enjoy a seamless omnichannel buying experience.

Example: Agile Data Sites Marketing

Agile Data Sites, an IT solutions provider, partnered with SmartSites to redesign its website and launch an SEO campaign. The goal was to create a dynamic site that would reflect the competitive nature of their industry while maintaining the client’s brand voice. SmartSites developed a fully customized WordPress site, implemented SEO optimizations, and introduced a protected case studies section. As a result, Agile Data Sites saw a 50% increase in site traffic and a 320% increase in paid clicks.


4. Marketing and optimization

  • SEO and SEM

eCommerce experts can deploy search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) techniques to help you rank higher on Google, Bing, and others, including the search function of your official social channels.

  • Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)

Agency teams understand the most effective messaging, images, and offers to persuade consumers to purchase at any stage of the sales funnel.

  • Brand awareness and reach 

eCommerce agencies combine market research and analytics to know your customers as well as you do and increase your e-store’s traffic, social followers, and email subscribers.

Example: Rollink

The Rollink collapsible luggage brand was a hit in Asia and Europe when it sought Digital Silk's help in entering the highly saturated U.S. market. To penetrate this competitive segment, the agency conducted a thorough market analysis to determine profitable keywords. Moreover, its team used social listening to track and study offers on reseller websites and all third-party communications.

Digital Silk then developed a 360-degree marketing strategy based on their findings. It published SEO articles and email newsletters, targeting customers based on flying frequency and lifestyles. The agency also formed an affiliate network, which rewarded valuable influencers with giveaways. After a year, its site recorded 730K new visitors while the brand's average order value jumped by $205.


5. Faster Results

  • Efficient processes

Instead of hiring and training new staff, eCommerce agency teams hit the ground running with streamlined workflows and advanced technologies. You can achieve or even exceed your targets faster because the agency focuses on running campaigns, monitoring their performance, and adjusting ad elements or content to deliver the results you identified for your project.

  • Data-driven approach

They examine your metrics and analytics (website/online marketplace, app, social media) to make data-driven decisions that will meet your goals, whether boosting sales of poor-performing products or reducing abandoned carts.

Example: Windmill 

Windmill needed help quickly after being delisted from Amazon four months after introducing their designer smart air conditioners to the online marketplace in 2021. The e-retailing giant gave the brand two weeks to apply a new widget to comply with new energy labeling requirements. Thanks to Emplicit's Amazon platform knowledge and connections, the product page got re-listed after three days of being down. In effect, the agency saved Windmill from incurring 40% in sales loss.


6. Cost-Effective Solutions

  • Resource Efficiency 

Investing in an agency that knows your eCommerce marketplace or platform inside and out saves the time and effort you might waste if you figured things out yourself. Subscription costs to licensed software are often bundled into their services. Moreover, they're adept at automation features for discovering otherwise untapped markets and retargeting past visitors.

  • ROI Focus

eCommerce agencies conduct market research to develop buyer personas and understand your brand's general marketing funnel, aiming to generate quality leads and raise your ROI.

Example: RSVLTS

Pop culture-inspired apparel company RSVLTS tapped JUICE to help the brand stand out on Facebook during Black Friday amid the season's torrent of promos. The agency created an ad mix featuring 40% discounts and a small gift with a purchase, both bearing "Shop Now" buttons linking to the RSVLTS site. The 6-day campaign boosted Black Friday sales 3.5 times year-on-year, marking the brand's most profitable sale day. With a combined 3,600 units sold, JUICE secured a 7x return on ad spend.


Overcoming Common eCommerce Challenges

From competition to cybersecurity, the eCommerce industry isn’t immune to challenges. Here are some of the most common challenges that eCommerce agencies’ clients typically face:

  • Customer experience (CX)
  • Data security
  • Cart abandonment
  • Logistics and shipping
  • Product catalogs
  • Product returns
  • Refund policies
  • Customer support
  • Packaging and sustainability
  • Website traffic
  • Cross-border transactions
  • Omnichannel marketing

While you might be able to sell a broader group, displaying your broad range of products can be tricky. You have no aisles or physical shelves. You have to set up your website in such a way that it’s still easy for customers to find the product.

This is one of the challenges that Nuanced Media covered for Seat Covers Unlimited. Their product catalog was virtually endless. Nuanced Media got to work and reduced their product catalog of 800,000+ by, for example, eliminating SKUs that didn’t generate a sale in the past year. They also stopped using sub-brands to help with brand consistency. As a result, their conversion rate doubled in just six months.

That said, the reason why customers don’t discover (or buy) a product isn’t always because the product range is too broad. In the case of NeeSee’s Dresses, they had no way to communicate their weekly new arrivals. They were using Klaviyo, but it lacked the direct functionality to automate the process the brand used.

Here’s when an eCommerce agency’s knowledge of tools can come in useful. Disruptive Advertising found another way to use the tools at their disposal and created a new custom collection with Shopify integration. After the first month, they already saw an increase of over 110% in revenue. This added up to nearly $400,000 in extra revenue in the first year.


How to Choose the Best eCommerce Agency for Your Business

To systematically and effectively select your future marketing partner, we made a 12-point checklist for evaluating your shortlisted candidates. You can consider these factors in light of three categories:

Download Checklist

1. Brand alignment: goals and budget

Your chosen agency should meet your goals within the budget you have allocated for the partnership.

2. Expertise: specialization, industry experience, portfolio, case studies, track record, certifications, and scalability

Visit the agency's website, research third-party reviews, and ask for references to verify its capabilities, strengths, previous projects, and feedback from past clients.

Ensure that the agency specializes in the marketplace or type of storefront you operate in, whether it's Amazon, Shopify, or your company’s mobile app. This way, the agency's team can help boost traffic and orders directly to your platform or e-store.

When viewing portfolios and case studies, check their metrics based on what your e-store wants to improve when it hires the agency. These KPIs can include conversion rate, average order value, shopping cart abandonment rate, customer acquisition cost, refund and return rate, and returning customer rate.

3.Workflow: communication, team structure, reporting, problem-solving approach, post-launch support, contract terms

An agency earns its credentials by consistently delivering results through efficient project management. This begins with transparency from contract signing. Then, proactive communication should fuel collaboration during campaign development, execution, and post-launch.


Select Your eCommerce Agency Wisely to Elevate Your Brand, Sales 

Whether you're a new storefront owner or a veteran industry player seeking to refresh your growth strategy, partnering with a marketing agency requires understanding and appreciating their capabilities. With this guide's tips, you and your chosen agency can plan and implement campaigns with more confidence and transparency.

Clarify your goals, particularly what you want to accomplish beyond paid ads. Your chosen agency should be well-versed in your online marketplace while enabling you to scale on all other fronts, such as social media and your website, if you have a separate one. This way, you won't have to outsource tasks to separate entities, making for a more efficient workflow and results reporting.
