Every program element engineered to drive profitable revenue
Targeting brings the right customer to your website or listing. But it's the creative — the product imagery, the ad copy, the landing page experience, the email follow-up, the repeat purchase opportunity — that determines whether a first-time buyer becomes a loyal customer. E-commerce marketing succeeds or fails across the entire customer lifecycle, and we bring strategic thinking to every touchpoint.
Paid Acquisition Strategy
Strategic advertising architecture across Google, Meta, Pinterest, and Amazon — with disciplined campaign structures, audience planning, creative testing frameworks, and scaling playbooks designed to grow revenue while maintaining target customer acquisition costs.
Funnel & Landing Page Optimization
Landing page architecture, A/B testing frameworks, checkout optimization, and AOV increase tactics — ensuring every customer acquired converts at the highest rate and highest possible order value to maximize advertising return.
Email & SMS Retention Programs
Complete email marketing and SMS program builds including post-purchase flows, win-back campaigns, re-engagement sequences, and loyalty/referral programs — maximizing customer lifetime value and repeat revenue from every customer acquired.
Customer Economics & Attribution
Multi-touch attribution setup, cohort analysis, customer lifetime value tracking, MER (Marketing Efficiency Ratio) monitoring, and unified revenue reporting — providing clear visibility into true marketing impact on customer acquisition and repeat revenue.
An e-commerce marketing program built around your brand and goals.
We begin every e-commerce marketing engagement with a comprehensive discovery session — mapping your products, average order value, customer profile, current channel mix, conversion rates, unit economics, and revenue growth goals. This discovery shapes every campaign structure, audience architecture, and program we build. We then launch systematically — testing channels, creative concepts, and audience segments before scaling the combinations that generate the most profitable revenue at the most efficient customer acquisition cost.

Frequently asked questions
Paid channels typically begin generating sales within 7-14 days of campaign launch, though initial performance may be inefficient while our system learns and optimizes. Google Shopping Ads and Meta advantage campaigns usually reach efficiency targets within 30-45 days. Email/SMS programs — which typically drive 20-35% of total e-commerce revenue — take 30-60 days to fully deploy but immediately generate revenue once flows are active. Funnel optimization (CRO) work takes 60-90 days to show statistically significant improvements. We recommend committing to a minimum of 90 days for full-channel programs to allow all system elements to mature and hit performance targets.
For meaningful e-commerce marketing programs, we recommend a minimum marketing budget of $5,000-$8,000/month in combined ad spend across channels for brands doing $50K-$200K/month in revenue. Brands targeting aggressive growth typically invest 15-25% of monthly revenue into customer acquisition marketing. Most established e-commerce brands find a sweet spot at 20-30% of top-line revenue allocated to marketing. For brands under $50K/month in revenue, we typically recommend focusing on the highest-impact channels first — usually Google Shopping for high-intent search or Meta ads for product discovery — then expand channels as revenue and profitability grow. Every engagement includes specific budget recommendations based on your actual unit economics and revenue goals.
The optimal channel mix depends heavily on your product price point, product category, target customer demographics, and brand maturity. As a framework: Google Shopping Ads and Search Ads work best for products customers actively search for — higher intent, generally lower cost per acquisition. Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) work best for product discovery and impulse purchases — perfect for visual products like fashion, home goods, and beauty. Pinterest excels for products with longer planning cycles (home, cooking, DIY, weddings, travel). Amazon advertising is essential if you sell on the Amazon marketplace. Email/SMS is non-negotiable for every e-commerce brand — the most profitable channel by ROAS and typically drives 20-35% of total store revenue. We recommend the right mix based on your specific situation.
Target ROAS varies significantly by channel, product category, and price point. For Google Shopping Ads, 3.0x-5.0x ROAS is a strong performance range for most e-commerce brands selling products in the $40-$200 range. Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) typically run 2.0x-3.5x ROAS — reflecting the broader, discovery-oriented nature of the platform. Amazon PPC typically runs at 2.5x-4.0x ROAS for Sponsored Products and Brands. More important than ROAS alone is MER (Marketing Efficiency Ratio) — total marketing cost as a percentage of total revenue — which should ideally be below 20-30% depending on your gross margins. Customer acquisition cost (CAC) targets depend on your average order value and expected lifetime value — ideally, CAC should be recovered within 1-2 purchases.
Yes — we build and manage comprehensive email and SMS marketing programs as a core part of full-funnel e-commerce marketing. Email and SMS are typically the highest-ROAS channels in your entire marketing stack. We build complete automated flow architectures in Klaviyo or your platform of choice — including welcome series, cart abandonment, browse abandonment, post-purchase flows, customer win-back, and replenishment sequences. We also design and schedule broadcast campaigns, newsletters, promotional campaigns, and personalized product recommendation programs. For most e-commerce brands, email marketing drives 25-35% of total e-commerce revenue when built and managed correctly.
We set up multi-touch attribution tracking combining Shopify reporting, Google Analytics 4, and paid platform native reporting — with optional Triple Whale or Northbeam for clients wanting more sophisticated attribution visibility. We track both platform-native ROAS and blended marketing metrics including: CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost), MER (Marketing Efficiency Ratio), CPA by channel and campaign, AOV (Average Order Value), LTV (Lifetime Value), repeat purchase rate, and total revenue contribution per marketing channel. Monthly reports present clear multi-channel revenue performance so you can see true marketing impact on business outcomes.
E-commerce marketing works best as part of a coordinated growth strategy. We recommend thinking about your business in three categories: Paid Acquisition (Google, Meta, Pinterest, Amazon PPC driving new customer revenue), Organic & Owned Channels (SEO, content marketing, organic social — building free traffic channels over time), and Retention Marketing (email/SMS programs, loyalty programs, referral programs maximizing customer lifetime value). All three should work together, but they mature at different rates. Paid acquisition generates revenue immediately but costs money per transaction. Organic channels take 6-18 months to mature but generate near-free traffic long-term. Retention programs drive revenue 30-60 days after launch and represent the single highest-ROAS opportunity for most established e-commerce brands. Your optimal mix changes as your brand matures.
Successful e-commerce marketing requires strong creative across all channels. For Google Shopping Ads, you need clean product photography, compelling product titles, and strong product page copy. For Meta and Pinterest ads, you need lifestyle photography, product videos (15-30 second product demos and testimonials perform best), carousel creatives showing multiple products or benefits, and UGC-style content that performs exceptionally well on Meta. Most brands need at least 3-5 hero images per product, 2-3 video creatives for ad testing, and a library of product-in-use lifestyle imagery. We provide creative direction, production guidance, and can coordinate with photographers and videographers in our network if you need help producing assets that perform at the highest level.
