Considered purchases with long gaps between them

Furniture and homeware customers research like B2B buyers: long consideration, several devices, price comparison, and a purchase that may not repeat for years. The work is to win the considered purchase with pages that answer real questions, and to make the long gap productive with a list that remembers the customer before they need the next room

What the plan has to account for

How we work, stage by stage

What we fixed. What changed

Ecommerce · Email and retention

Home fragrance brand, UK

22%of online revenue from email, up from 13%, five months

Customers received a welcome discount and then largely the same weekly campaign regardless of what they had viewed or purchased. We introduced product-specific post-purchase, replenishment, cross-sell, abandoned-cart and lapsed-customer flows.

Email revenue increased from 13% to 22% of total online revenue over five months. Revenue per subscriber increased 41%.

Ecommerce · Paid ads

Cycling apparel retailer, France and Belgium

2.8blended return on ad spend, up from 2.0, six months

More than 60 campaigns split budget across products, audiences and creative variations, leaving many campaigns without enough purchase data to optimise effectively. We consolidated the account, rebuilt the product feed, excluded low-margin products and focused creative testing around three core customer use cases.

Blended ROAS increased from 2.0 to 2.8 over six months while spend fell 7%. Paid revenue increased 29%.

Ecommerce · Landing pages and conversion

Premium cookware brand, UK

Shipping costs only appeared near the end of checkout and mobile customers were required to create an account before paying. We showed delivery costs earlier, made guest checkout the default and added Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Checkout completion increased 15% over eight weeks. Mobile revenue per visitor increased 12%.
