eCommerce Development Review from Undisclosed
We have been working with First Pier for almost 10 years now, beginning with the launch of our women’s boutique E-Commerce business. First Pier has been responsible for our e-commerce store design, web development, e-commerce SEO, digital strategy, online marketing campaigns and beyond ever since. As a already successful brick and mortar retailer, we saw an opportunity to reach beyond our existing customer bases in Portland, Maine & Portsmouth, New Hampshire by creating an online shopping experience accessible 24/7 and nationwide. First Pier has helped us turn that vision into reality by taking us from no online store and zero sales to a dependable thriving new channel for our business that continues to grow. Our experience with Shopify started when First Pier migrated our site from Magento to a Shopify website. Since First Pier is a designated Shopify Expert, we knew we could trust them with the daunting task of moving all of our products, accounts, and customer history to our new Shopify site. They made the transition to a new e-commerce system painless by ensuring our hands were held along the way, we were thoroughly trained, and none of the SEO ranking keywords were lost. We continue to work with First Pier on expanding our use of Google Shopping SEO and will be implementing Shopify’s Point of Sale in the coming year as part of a continued effort to deliver a unified customer experience at our stores. As a small women’s boutique based in Maine, we are now able to deliver our customer experience to tourist and seasonal customers where they are year round. We would recommend First Pier to anyone looking to build or update a Shopify store.
Shopify Review from Undisclosed
First Pier has been so helpful with the transition to shopify. After initially setting it up they provided us with great documentation on how to use the site and they've continued to support us through any issues that arise.
Shopify Review from Undisclosed
First Pier helped us move, update, and launch our online business on Shopify. As a high-traffic bakery, it was important to us that customers buying from around the country were able to view the quality of our products, feel the vibe of our Portland and South Portland shops, and trust that their order would be as special as a visit to our Maine bakery. First Pier delivered mouth-watering e-commerce product photography, an easy-to-use site, and supported us every step of the way. Our shoppable site is now optimized, accurately reflects our brand, and has poised us for growth.

Aclivia Inc.'s Review Sourced from Google
I’ve been working with eStore Factory (Henil) for over a year now to manage my Amazon seller account. Their customer support is excellent—Henil is prompt, professional, and always quick to respond to any questions or concerns.One of the things I appreciate most is that they provide regular updates on my account and make proactive adjustments to PPC campaigns to ensure optimal performance. They don’t just set things up and forget about them; instead, they continuously fine-tune based on data and results.The team also does a great job of keeping up with market trends and seasonal events. They frequently suggest timely promotions and offers, especially around holidays and key shopping periods, which have helped drive additional revenue.Overall, eStore Factory has been a reliable, knowledgeable, and results-driven partner, and I would highly recommend them to any Amazon seller looking for expert account management.

| Criteria | Affiliate Marketing | Influencer Marketing |
| Primary goal | Drive sales, leads, and measurable conversions | Build brand awareness, credibility, and audience trust |
| Compensation model | Commission-based; affiliates earn only when a conversion happens | Fixed, upfront payments for content creation |

| Cost structure | Performance-based with lower upfront risk | Requires upfront spend regardless of results |
No, brands do not need an existing affiliate program before hiring an agency. Many companies work with agencies specifically to set up and launch an affiliate program from scratch.
