Success factors for your E-commerce

Customer Research

For successful e-business you need to know your customers very well. Ask yourself: What channels are my customers using and why do they shop like they do?

Design Thinking

We use customer-centric methods to create the best customer experience with high conversions. To achieve this, we rely on user tests and other experimental methods.

Visibility

Only if your online store is visible, it can be successful. In digital marketing, it's all about getting the right message to the right target group at the right time.

Clever implementation

We consciously focus on the right mix of best practice and innovation approaches and thus make users and business stakeholders happy.

Omnichannel-Commerce

Success in e-business requires high-quality content and platforms with many functions. Take offline channels and corresponding media breaks into account.

Personalisation

Automatically merge customer data into a golden record – a comprehensive master data record. This is the basis for perfectly personalised customer journeys.

Perfect processing

Digital and real services must work perfectly together to ensure that the entire purchasing process is convincing. Well-integrated fulfillment processes strengthen the trust of your users.

Smart technology in the background

Offer your customers all important data and excellent performance – with the right platform, PIM and perfect scalability.

Steps to successful E-commerce

This is how you get to successful e-commerce

User centred strategy

A successful E-commerce strategy puts the user in the focus. Therefore, the first question is: How do you reach your customers at the different touchpoints and what do they expect from your purchase? The answer is provided by corresponding analyses, interviews and user tests.

Based on the results, we identify the key elements for your sustainable success in E-commerce. Together with you, we develop the appropriate customer journeys. We identify the core processes in the background and work together to develop the optimal functional and technological system architecture for your E-commerce.

In B2B, e-commerce plays an important role

Perfect product marketing

digital advertising campaigns,
always-on measures,
content marketing,
search engine optimization,
and e-mail marketing

This way your products and services get the attention they deserve.
