CRO Review from Cormac Moylan
We (a large international e-Commerce site) wished to increase sales and revenue by improving our conversion rate. Because of the nuances of the market we operated in, It was important we partnered with an agency that understood our business and the relationship we have with our customers. Lauren, Grace, Jackson, and the entire team from Media Lounge understood this. Their tactics and optimisations were carefully tailored on improving the connection between our business and customers. Every opportunity recommended by Media Lounge was aligned to our business goals and demonstrated their expertise, knowledge, and abilities. I was impressed with their in-depth research, solutions, attention to detail, and most importantly; the resulting uplift from their efforts. They challenged us when we needed challenging, they addressed assumptions that previously impacted sales performance, and they introduced positive change for both our customers and our business. We couldn't be happier to have partnered with Media Lounge.

Web Design Review from Anthony
If you are looking for a web design company that is happy to go that extra mile, i would highly recommend Media Lounge. If you are like me and words like 'DNS' 'or CHRON' are another language to you, then you have found the right company, they appreciate not every one grasps the in and outs of how everything works in a website, so everything is explained to you easily and clearly. On top of this they build websites that not only look inspiring, but more importantly covert browsers to buyers at an incredibly impressive rate. Our's jumped from a fairly industry average at 2% to 6% - overnight.

4 Frequently Asked Questions About eCommerce Consultants
What do eCommerce consultants specialize in?
eCommerce consulting companies focus on creating marketing and brand marketing strategies to help brands reach their goals. This includes reaching a wider audience, closing more deals and boosting their profit.
Most of them also offer development services and build cutting-edge apps and websites that are fully functional and eye-catching.
Here’s a list of what they do:
Research and analytics
A roadmap and strategy development
Monitoring reviews and customer service
Marketing and advertising strategy
Online store code audits
Custom app and web development
User experience development
Conversion optimization
Advising on product/niche selection
Quality assurance and testing
And more
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
