ACQUISITION STRATEGY
MOTIVATING PEOPLE TO BUY WHAT YOU SELLJust consider the impact on your store sales if just one additional visitor out of every 100 made a purchase. That's our objective.
To implement a series of prioritised conversion optimisation strategies that give your site visitors greater confidence to purchase from you. Learning, through data, where roadblocks in the customer journey create hesitancy and to ensure your visitor can develop trust in your brand.
This is where your money is made. Not through selling, but through making it easier for people to buy. Clarity every step of the customer journey.
RETENTION STRATEGY
MOTIVATING MORE CUSTOMERS TO BUY AGAINThis is where we can make serious, sustainable growth for your ecommerce store. Motivating more of your existing customers to shop again. Not simply entering customers into a generic newsletter list, actually nurturing next purchase. Using customer data and insight to create targeted flows and sequences based on customer behaviour. Creating automations that deliver truly personalised post-purchase communications that help boost customer reviews, loyalty and all important revenue.
No matter what stage of growth you find your ecommerce business, customer retention should site at the core of your work. To build customer lifetime value giving you a fuller understanding of the real worth of a customer to your business and a better insight into just who your ideal customer is.

MY ECOMMERCE BACKGROUND
Building Ecommerce Brands For 20 YearsWearing the hats of employee, director, ecommerce business owner & consultant.
Finding my feet at a startup online magazine subscription retailer way back in 1996. When animated gifs first roamed the 'net and web browsers were at the version 1.0 stage.
4 years on, I moved on to Priceline.com taking the role of European Marketing Director. Learning sustainable growth at a market innovator who are now the world's largest travel company.
In 2004 I launched my own ecommerce business. From 0 to £2m. bootstrapped. Doing the things you've done. Balancing time and energy marketing my business and running my business.
For the past 10 years my time has been dedicated to my ecommerce consulting business. Working with founders and in-house teams to drive more revenues without increasing ad spend through the advanced implementation of SEO, Conversion Optimisation and Customer Retention strategies. It makes scaling easier and more profitable.
“one of today’s leaders in Conversion Rate Optimization, people who don’t just talk the talk but put their theories to the test on a daily basis.”

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
how we work togetherI work exclusively with funded startups and established retail or direct-to-consumer brands based in the UK or Europe. The majority of clients are omnichannel. Clients are already turning over a minimum of 6-7 figures per year. I do work with ambitious startups too.
Businesses that value their customers. Know their customers. Businesses built on behalf of their customers. I have to believe in the products you’re selling. Whether premium brands or innovative products. We have to share an understanding that there’s a demand for what you sell.
I work alongside senior management to plan & in-house marketing teams to implement. You might also be transitioning from an outsourced agency who simply didn’t perform and now you want to bring your marketing in-house?
