What red flags to watch out for when hiring eCommerce marketing companies?
When hiring eCommerce marketing companies watch out for these potential red flags:
- No clear strategy
Avoid an eCommerce marketing company if it can't demonstrate how it plans to address your unique challenges or provide a roadmap because it's a sign it may lack the expertise needed to grow your business. - Lack of industry experience
Be wary of a marketing agency with no specific background in eCommerce because it may struggle to understand the unique challenges of online retail. It should have proven experience with eCommerce platforms and knowledge of the latest trends in digital marketing for online stores. - No case studies or references
Don't consider agencies if they can’t show examples of past successes or happy clients, they may lack the credibility and experience to back up their claims. - Lack of transparency
Be cautious of an eCommerce marketing agency that is unwilling to share details about its processes, pricing, or past results, as that may be a sign it's not as competent or trustworthy as it claims. - Unrealistic promises
Be wary of companies that guarantee results like "instant sales growth" or "top rankings within a month." While agencies can certainly improve your marketing efforts, eCommerce success takes time and consistent effort. - Poor communication
Don't work with agencies if they’re difficult to reach, slow to respond, or don’t listen to your needs, it could lead to misunderstandings or misaligned strategies down the road. - Unprofessional website or materials
Don't even shortlist eCommerce marketing companies if their site is outdated, difficult to navigate, or lacks clear information about their services and success stories because these indicate a lack of attention to detail or professionalism. - No focus on data and analytics
Be cautious if the agency doesn’t use analytics to track performance, set KPIs, or optimize campaigns. A good marketing agency should continuously monitor and analyze data to improve results. - Unclear reporting and metrics
Be careful if an agency is vague about how it measures success or doesn’t offer clear, understandable reports, it may indicate it isn’t delivering the promised results or is avoiding accountability. - Focus on tactics over strategy
Avoid an eCommerce marketing agency if it focuses solely on tactics like ads or SEO without considering your overall business strategy and long-term goals, it may be missing the bigger picture and fail to provide an integrated approach necessary for sustained growth.
What are the key success metrics in eCommerce marketing?
The most important key success metrics to track in eCommerce marketing are the following:
- Conversion rate
The percentage of website visitors who complete a desired action, such as making a purchase. A higher conversion rate indicates that the eCommerce site is effectively turning visitors into customers. - Average order value (AOV)
The average amount spent per order. Increasing AOV can significantly boost revenue without the need for more traffic. - Customer acquisition cost (CAC)
The cost of acquiring a new customer, including all marketing and advertising expenses. Lowering CAC while maintaining or increasing sales is a key indicator of marketing efficiency. - Customer lifetime value (CLTV)
The total revenue an eCommerce business can expect from a single customer throughout their relationship with the brand. CLTV helps assess the long-term value of a customer and guides retention strategies. - Customer retention rate
The percentage of customers who come back for more purchases. High retention rates indicate strong customer satisfaction and loyalty. - Cart abandonment rate
The percentage of customers who add items to their cart but do not complete the purchase. A high cart abandonment rate suggests issues in the checkout process or user experience. - Website traffic
The number of visitors to the eCommerce website, including organic, paid, and referral traffic. Increased traffic often correlates with brand visibility and marketing success. - Bounce rate
The percentage of visitors who leave the eCommerce site after viewing only one page. A high bounce rate might indicate that your product pages or content are not engaging enough. - Return on investment (ROI)
The ratio of net profit to marketing investment. A positive ROI shows that your marketing campaigns are yielding more than they cost. - Email open and clickthrough rates
Tracking how many recipients open the emails and click through to the eCommerce site measures engagement and the effectiveness of the email campaign. - Social media engagement
The level of interaction (likes, shares, comments) on your social media posts. This helps measure brand visibility and engagement with your audience. - Sales growth
The rate at which your eCommerce sales are increasing over time. Consistent sales growth is a clear indicator that your eCommerce marketing efforts are effective.
