Store Design & Optimisation

Is your website easy to navigate? Are you building trust? Is your messaging effectively communicating your offer? From messaging and design to ease-of-use and trust, design a storefront that builds rapport with your visitors and converts them into buyers. Learn how to run experiments that increase the overall success of your business.

Marketing & Brand Building

Who is your customer? Understand your demographic, learn how to sell benefits not features, deliver personalized experiences at scale, automate your marketing, and build trust to increase customer lifetime value (CLV).

Business Operations

Supply chain planning, warehouse management, receiving and managing inventory, packing customer orders, shipping, and customer service. Streamlined operations are the bedrock of a successful ecommerce brand.

Payments & Security

Data security and secure payment are key to building trust with your customers. While this has become less of a barrier, it is still one of the most important factors in converting visitors into buyers. Learn about online identity verification, single sign on, OTPs and two-factor authentication for securing user profiles.
