Ecommerce Strategy

We help SMEs and DTC brands define a coherent vision and ecommerce roadmap, underpinned by realistic goals and clear resourcing.

Digital Juggler has helped C-suites including Tom Dixon and The Wine Society set a clear direction for their ecommerce business, with a structured plan for delivery.

Working in partnership with your ecommerce team, we’ll combine our ecommerce strategy consultant experience with your team’s skills to define a strategy the whole business can buy-in to.

We provide three core services:

  • Project set-up & management
  • Strategy planning, implementation and roadmapping
  • Ecommerce team mentoring and upskilling
  • “Digital Juggler’s approach was structured, thorough & proactive. They did a great job of getting under the skin of the organisation and our customers and worked collaboratively with a cross-functional internal team to guide our strategic thinking”

    Nicky Glennon, Head of Web Trading, The Wine Society

    There are three key questions that we help our clients answer:

    1. What do your customers need, and what will encourage them to convert and spend more?
    2. What resources do you need to enable growth, and where are your skill gaps?
    3. Can you achieve this with existing tech or do you need to invest in new tools to increase capability?

    Let us help you map your digital future, assess your market and create a realistic project plan, then work with you to implement and measure results with a proven process.

    We use a proprietary ecommerce strategy model, tried and tested on projects including Tom Dixon and The Wine Society. It ensures we apply a structured approach to defining your ecommerce strategy, backed up with evidence and based on clear rationale.
