Companies we've done e-commerce for
Growing revenue, shrinking profit
The most common DTC trap: top-line looks great, the bank account doesn't. Here's why.
You're optimizing ROAS, not margin
A 3x ROAS on a product with 30% gross margin loses money on every order. Platform ROAS ignores COGS, shipping, returns, and discounts entirely.
You have no retention engine
If every order requires paid acquisition, you're renting your customers. Repeat purchase rate is the single strongest predictor of DTC profitability.
Your store converts below benchmark
The average Shopify store converts at 1.4%. Good ones run 3–4%. That gap is worth more than any targeting improvement you'll ever make.
AOV has been flat since launch
Bundles, tiered pricing, subscriptions, and post-purchase upsells raise AOV without a single extra dollar of ad spend.
Profit-first e-commerce growth
We model your true unit economics first, then optimize the three levers that actually compound: conversion rate, average order value, and repeat purchase rate.

Everything in the engagement.
No line items appearing on month-three invoices. This is the full scope, written down.
Unit economics model
True contribution margin per product and per channel, including COGS, shipping, returns, discounts, and payment fees.
Shopify build or optimization
Custom theme development or headless Shopify — fast product pages, frictionless checkout, and clean structured data.
Paid acquisition management
Meta, Google Shopping, TikTok, and Pinterest managed against margin targets, not platform-reported returns.
Product feed optimization
Clean, enriched feeds for Shopping and catalog campaigns — usually the fastest available win in Google Ads.
Conversion rate optimization
Product page, cart, and checkout testing against your real traffic, with proper statistical rigor.
AOV expansion
Bundles, volume discounts, post-purchase upsells, and subscription offers designed around your margin structure.
Retention & lifecycle
Klaviyo flows, SMS, replenishment reminders, and loyalty programs that raise repeat purchase rate.
Creative production
Product photography direction, UGC sourcing, and high-volume ad creative built for testing.

E-commerce questions, answered straight.
Including the ones where the honest answer is “you probably don't need us for that.”
Sweet spot is $1M–$50M annual revenue. Below $1M we usually recommend a store build plus flows rather than a full growth retainer — the retainer economics don't work in your favor yet, and we'll say so.
