How much do eCommerce consulting companies charge?
There are several aspects to consider when it comes to the cost of eCommerce consulting services.
On the one hand, it will depend on the company’s expertise. The more skilled and experienced an eCommerce business consultant is, the higher the fee will be.
On the other hand, the location also affects the project cost. For instance, an NYC-based agency is likely to charge more than a company located in Boston.
Finally, the scope and the timeframe of the project will also influence the final cost.
Most of the top eCommerce consulting agencies charge per hour and the price varies between $50 and $150.
Why hire an eCommerce consulting agency?
While ecommerce opens the doors to much bigger markets, it also comes hand-in-hand with fierce competition. eCommerce consulting agencies help businesses develop every aspect of their digital strategy to increase competitiveness and profits.
They are experts in analyzing your business needs, your target market and competition and creating strategies that will lead to business growth.
Here are the top five reasons why you should invest in a certified eCommerce consultant:
1. Reaching The Right Audience
There are more than 2 billion online shoppers in the world. [Statista]
However, not all of these consumers are your audience.
To make every penny invested in your digital business count, you need to focus on the right market.
An eCommerce consultant can help you achieve that by:
Researching the buyer persona: They will describe your ideal clients, discover their likes and dislikes, the buying decisions they make as well as the challenges they face.
Analyzing customer lifecycles: They identify the steps your leads go through before and after they convert or complete a purchase. Thus, by studying each of these phases they will come up with strategies for customer retention and revenue increase.
Retargeting: They will also run retargeting ads and target people who are already familiar with what you offer to make them reengage with your brand.
Your partners’ strategy will help you speak your audience language and put your products in front of the right people who are more likely to make purchases.
2. Improving Customer Service
93% of consumers would make a repeated purchase with brands that offer excellent customer service. [HubSpot]
Building loyalty is the best tool eCommerce businesses can use for improving customer retention and increasing the number of returning clients.
However, trust is not given, rather it is something that should be earned.
Great customer service can help you establish long term relationships. And eCommerce consulting agencies will provide you with actionable tips on how to create memorable customer experiences.
Or, they can implement the following strategies:
Send personalized messages and replies
Provide fast customer support
Experiment with discounts and trial offers
Analyzing customer feedback
And more
3. Enhancing Your Brand Image
Brands have as little as 7 seconds to make a first impression. [Forbes]
Before potential clients click the “buy now” button, they will certainly research your brand. So, depending on where you sell, they will either visit your website or social media profiles to see how credible you are.
And when they do that they will form their opinion about your business within seconds.
Your brand identity is of key importance for getting a winning impression.
A few factors to be considered here are:
A strong logo
Clearly defined values
Unique and high-quality content
Social proof and positive reviews
And more
eCommerce consulting companies will provide you with analysis and solutions on what branding elements you should focus on so that you complete more purchases successfully.
4. Increasing Sales
The average cart abandonment rate is 79.17%. [OptinMonster]
A huge number of shoppers never complete their purchases. They abandon their shopping carts for different reasons including:
Extra costs (shipping, tax fee, etc.)
Requests for account creation
Requirements of credit card info
Long checkout process
And more
eCommerce consulting firms can help you deal with uncompleted purchases by:
Getting inside the heads of your clients and analyzing their behavior to understand what drags them from completing their purchases
Putting together cart recovery strategies including sending personalized emails and remarketing
Making the shopping process easier and smoother
