Who We Help

Ecommerce & Consumer

You make products people love. Growing shouldn't mean bigger ad bills.

For owner-led brands and stores with $1m–$7m in sales. Your customers rave about what you make, but every new sale still seems to cost more than the last.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Where most brands lose customers.

01One Ad Account Runs Everything

When ad costs rise or the account wobbles, sales drop overnight.

Usually starts in: Where Your Leads Come From · Your Results and Data

02Busy Site, Quiet Checkout

Plenty of people browse and add to cart, then leave without buying.

Usually starts in: How You Engage Leads · Your Sales Process

03Customers Buy Once, Then Vanish

First orders come in, but too few people ever order again.

Usually starts in: After the Sale · Who Owns Each Step

04Competing on Discounts

Shoppers can't see why you're worth more, so you keep cutting prices.

How customers find you

Six routes to a new customer.
Each one has its own weak spot.

Every new customer reaches you by one of six routes. Here's the journey each one usually takes, from first discovering you to placing an order.

    WHAT WE LOOK AT

    The eight parts we check, through a brand's eyes.

    01

    Your Offer

    Common gaps
    • Products sold on features, not why they matter
    • Discounts doing the work your story should
    • No bundles, sets or reasons to spend more
    02

    Your Marketing Materials

    Common gaps
    • Product photos that don't show scale or use
    • Reviews hidden or missing from product pages
    • A brand story told differently on every channel
    03

    Where Your Leads Come From

    Common gaps
    • No search, email or creator channels beyond ads
    • Marketplaces that own the customer, not you
    • Stockists and wholesale left to chance
    04

    How You Engage Leads

    Common gaps
    • A checkout that hides shipping until the end
    • Mobile pages that load slowly or confuse
    • Store visitors who never join your list
    05

    Your Sales Process

    Common gaps
    • No reminders when shoppers leave a full cart
    • Subscription sign-ups that are hard to start
    • Showroom visits with no follow-up
    06

    After the Sale

    Common gaps
    • No reason to place a second order
    • Subscribers who cancel with no win-back
    • Returns handled with no chance to keep the customer
    07

    Your Results and Data

    Common gaps
    • Online and in-store sales never joined up
    • No idea which channel brings repeat customers
    • Profit per order unknown after ad costs
    08

    Who Owns Each Step

    Common gaps
    • The founder runs ads, email and buying alone
    • Agencies working with no shared plan
    • Nobody owns keeping customers coming back

    WHAT IT CAN LOOK LIKE

    One brand, before and after. More shoppers. More orders.

    A 20-Person Home and Living Brand.

    The problem: almost every new shopper came from paid social. Shipping costs appeared late at checkout, and first-time buyers were never given a reason to order again.

    Before

    Each square is one piece of the brand's marketing and sales: its product pages, its checkout, its emails to past customers, and every other part of how it wins orders.

    THREE FIXES IN THE PLAN

    A Second-Order Email Series
    Every first order gets a follow-up.

    Why Your Marketing Brings Leads but Not Customers

    The problem is rarely the marketing. It's what happens after someone gets in touch.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does it cost?+
    Two fees, the Audit and the Architecture, sized to your brand and agreed up front. No retainers. Your quote comes after the call.
    What happens after I apply?+
    Within two business days you'll hear whether we can help. If there's a fit, we book a call, then send your quote.
    We already run our own ads. What would change?+
    We look at everything around the ads: your product pages, checkout, emails and repeat orders. That way, the money you already spend works harder.
    Do you work with stores as well as online brands?+
    Yes. We look at your shops and your site together, so a customer who buys in-store and online is treated as one person, not two.
