Why eCommerce is important for retailers?
Your digital shopfront – your website – can be visited by anyone, anywhere, at any time. The opportunity to sell products online is incredible. We ensure you capitalise on it.
What is eCommerce?
eCommerce is an umbrella term that covers all transactions conducted digitally over the internet. It describes both the practice of selling through your business website and through third-party online marketplaces such as Tradme, Amazon and eBay.
Kiwis spend billions of dollars online. Online spend increased by 52% between 2019 and 2021, a pace that shows no signs of slowing. What’s more, this trend, and your eCommerce customers, aren’t limited to New Zealand.
The opportunities offered by an online store are therefore exponentially larger than those offered by a brick and mortar store. More customers = more sales = more growth. Craft your eCommerce approach well and you’ll make sales while you sleep.

We do eCommerce differently
In eCommerce it’s tempting to focus on the ‘easy wins’: the customers who are at the bottom of the sales funnel, in the Transaction phase, ready to buy. But while this can be an effective strategy, it should never be your whole strategy.
As a consumer you know that there are a lot of steps to take before you click ‘BUY’, such as the subtle influence of ads and marketing materials and the research sessions that shape and ultimately lead to your purchase.
It is vital that a business consistently appears throughout this online journey.

The broader discipline of SEO demands a holistic approach made up of keyword strategy, content, backlinks, metadata and a wealth of other factors. eCommerce SEO uses similar tactics but in a more targeted way, looking at things like rich results, Google Shopping and terms like ‘buy’, ‘order’ and ‘purchase’.
If you run an online store, whether as a dedicated eCommerce business or a brick-and-mortar retailer that also sells through a website, you can make more sales by strategically improving your Google ranking.
