Digital marketing for e-commerce

Digital Marketing for E-commerce Brands

E-commerce lives and dies on unit economics. We run Shopping, Performance Max, Meta and category-page SEO around ROAS, contribution margin, and repeat purchase — not the top-line revenue chart that hides your CAC problem.

E-commerce — vertical-specific program

Industry challenges

What's actually hard about marketing in E-commerce

Every vertical has its own gravity. These are the ones we plan around from day one.

Seasonal demand swings

Q4, festival cycles and category-specific spikes require budget elasticity and creative refreshes on a timeline. Steady-state campaigns leak money the rest of the year.

Cart and checkout abandonment

The majority of ad spend converts on the third or fourth touch, not the first. Without proper retargeting and email tie-in, that spend is wasted on people who almost bought.

Marketplace competition

Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho own high-intent search for many product terms. Direct-to-consumer brands need category and comparison pages that reward the extra click.

Thin paid margins

As CAC on Meta and Google climbs, small ROAS deltas decide whether a SKU is profitable. Attribution and product-level tracking stop being nice-to-haves.

What success looks like

The KPIs that decide whether E-commerce marketing is working

Different verticals optimise for different numbers. These are the ones we report on for E-commerce, honestly.

Blended ROAS

Not platform-reported ROAS. Blended across channels, tied to actual revenue in your Shopify or store back-end.

Conversion rate by traffic source

Reveals which channels bring cheap-to-close buyers vs. bargain hunters who never repeat.

Average order value

The lever that turns a break-even ad into a profitable one. We test bundles, thresholds and creative angles that move it.

CAC vs. LTV

Reported over 30, 60 and 180-day windows so budget scales on real payback, not first-purchase revenue.

FAQ

E-commerce questions we hear on discovery calls

Do you work with Shopify, WooCommerce and custom stacks?+

Yes. Most of our e-commerce clients run Shopify or WooCommerce, but we also work with Magento and custom builds. Tracking, feed management and CRO all adapt to the stack.

Can you manage product feeds for Shopping and PMax?+

Yes. Feed optimisation — titles, attributes, custom labels, exclusions — is part of the paid engagement, not a separate line item.

How do you compete with Amazon and Flipkart on search?+

We don't try to outrank marketplaces on generic head terms. We target longer-tail, comparison and buyer's-guide queries where a specialist brand's expertise beats a marketplace listing.

What's the minimum ad spend to work with you?+

For meaningful paid work, roughly ₹3L/month in ad spend. Below that, we usually recommend focusing on SEO and organic social first, then layering paid once unit economics support it.
