Social Media Marketing for Ecommerce: a hands-on team
Full-funnel growth for Shopify, BigCommerce, and custom ecommerce brands.
We scale ecommerce brands from $1M to $50M+ by fixing what actually moves revenue, acquisition economics, retention math, and conversion leaks, not dashboards that look pretty.
What we move for ecommercebrands.
How we think about ecommercemarketing.
Most ecommerceagencies sell you channels. We sell you outcomes. Our a hands-on team run paid media, SEO, CRO, email, and creative as one integrated system, because that's how ecommerceactually works. Your Facebook ROAS doesn't exist in isolation; it depends on your AOV, your repeat rate, your email flows, and whether your checkout is leaking 30% of sessions.
We've scaled 200+ ecommercebrands across Shopify↗, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and headless builds. From early-stage DTC upstarts breaking $1M to category-defining brands at $100M+, our playbook is the same: find the biggest leak, plug it, then compound the next one.

What's holdingecommercebrands back.
Rising CPMs and creative fatigue
Meta and Google ad auctions have gotten more expensive every quarter for four years running. The brands winning are shipping 30+ creative concepts monthly, not polishing five.
Attribution blind spots
iOS privacy changes, cookie deprecation, and multi-touch journeys mean the numbers in Ads Manager aren't the numbers in your P&L. Media Mix Modeling, incrementality testing, and server-side tracking are no longer optional. See our B2B ecommerce marketing servicesfor benchmarks.
Broken retention economics
Most brands over-index on acquisition and under-invest in lifecycle. The second purchase is where margin lives. Email, SMS, and loyalty are where category winners quietly pull ahead.
CRO theater vs CRO substance
Running A/B tests without statistical power is worse than not testing at all. We see brands burn quarters on tests that never reach significance.
Diagnose
before
prescribing.
Our ecommerce playbook is simple: diagnose before prescribing. Week one is a full-funnel audit, paid media structure, SEO opportunity, CROleak analysis, retention flow inventory, and attribution reality check. Week two is a 90-day roadmap with explicit revenue targets and channel allocation. Month two forward, we execute, one senior team running the whole stack, not siloed specialists pointing fingers.

Social that actually drives ecommerce revenue.
Ecommerce social media operates on different principles than B2B social. Where B2B social drives long-term thought leadership and pipeline, ecommerce social needs to drive same-day or same-week revenue. The platforms, content, and KPIs all differ.
Instagram and TikTok are the dominant platforms for ecommerce in 2026. Instagram skews 25-45 demographic with more polished content; TikTok skews 18-35 with more raw, native content. Most ecommerce brands need both, same products, different content treatment per platform. Cross-posting the same content across platforms is the #1 mistake we see.
UGC is the highest-converting ecommerce social content. Real customers using your product, in real settings, with real reactions outperforms studio photography 3-5x in ROAS. We help clients build UGC creator networks (10-30 active creators) producing weekly content for use in both organic posts and paid ads.
Influencer marketing in 2026 is mostly micro-influencers (1K-100K followers) running long-term partnerships, not mega-celebrities doing one-off posts. The conversion math works because micro-influencers' audiences are more engaged and more aligned with niche product categories. We negotiate flat-fee + revenue-share deals that align incentives.
Our ecommerce social engagements include strategy, content production, community management, paid social amplification, and creator partnerships. Most clients see organic social driving 8-15% of revenue (vs 1-3% before engagement) within 6-9 months, primarily through compounding content libraries and creator networks that keep producing.
Ecommerce
questions,
answered.
Common questions from ecommercefounders and operators.
Ask us directlyMost of our clients are doing $1M to $50M in annual revenue, with a handful of brands above $100M. We occasionally work with earlier-stage brands where founder-fit is strong, but the math works best for brands with established product-market fit and enough revenue to support multi-channel investment.
Not a hard minimum, but most engagements start to make sense at $30k+ monthly ad spend where there's enough volume for meaningful testing and optimization. Below that, we often recommend starting with CRO and retention work before scaling paid.
Yes, we work with any setup, stock themes, Shogun-builds, custom Liquid, or headless Hydrogen. If performance is limiting revenue, we'll flag it in the audit and scope the minimum change to unblock growth, not push a rebuild you don't need.
From signed agreement to first campaign launch is typically 10 to 14 days. Audit work starts in week one while strategy and channel buildouts happen in parallel. Most clients see directional metrics move within 30 days.
Flat monthly retainers based on scope and seniority, never a percentage of ad spend. Retainers typically range $8k–$40k monthly. For select engagements we offer performance-based pricing where we take on some of the downside risk.
Ecommerce has specific buyer behavior, margin structures, and competitive dynamics that don't transfer from other verticals. Playbooks built for SaaS don't work for ecommerce. Tactics that win in fashion fail in furniture. Our team assigns ecommerce-experienced operators who've scaled brands in your specific category, not generalists learning on your budget.
Most engagements start with a 90-day sprint to deliver quick wins and establish measurement discipline. From there, retainers run quarter-to-quarter without long contracts. Category leaders typically stay with us 18-36 months because compounding gains make the math work, but we never require it.
We work best with ecommerce brands between $2M and $100M in annual revenue. Below $2M, the economics of dedicated specialists who do the work rarely pencil for either side. Above $100M, we partner with in-house teams on specific initiatives rather than full-funnel engagements.
Yes. Creative is a primary performance lever in ecommerce, we coordinate UGC networks, produce static and motion ads, design landing pages, and manage creator partnerships. Most engagements ship 30+ new creative concepts monthly, which matches the fatigue velocity modern platforms demand.
Revenue, CAC, contribution margin, payback period, and repeat purchase rate, not metrics that don't move revenue. Monthly business reviews tied to P&L impact. Every tactic traces back to a specific revenue outcome. If we can't explain how an activity moves the business, we don't do it.

Why generic Social Media fails for Ecommerce
Standard Social Media playbooks aren't built for Ecommerce. The keyword universe, the buyer journey, the credibility bar, all different. Most Ecommerce brands hiring a generalist agency find that the strategy works for any vertical except theirs, because the agency adapted nothing to ecommerce brands.
Social Media for Ecommerce requires understanding three constraints: the search behavior of ecommerce brands, the trust signals that move them, and the conversion infrastructure they expect. Below is the framework that consistently produces results.
The Social Media for Ecommerce playbook
We run Social Media engagements for Ecommerce brands using a 4-phase framework. Each phase has specific deliverables and success criteria:
- Phase 1, Audit and benchmarking (Weeks 1-2): Comprehensive audit of current performance, competitive landscape mapping, gap analysis vs. top 5 competitors. Output: prioritized opportunity list.
- Phase 2, Foundation (Weeks 3-6): Technical fixes, keyword research specific to ecommerce brands, content/campaign planning. We don't ship until the foundation is sound.
- Phase 3, Execution (Weeks 7-16): Daily/weekly production, testing, iteration. Experienced specialists runs the work directly.
- Phase 4, Scale and optimize (Weeks 17+): Once channels are producing, we scale spend/volume on what works and kill what doesn't. Quarterly business reviews to recalibrate.
What changes for Ecommerce specifically
Compared to generic Social Media, our work for ecommerce brands adjusts on five dimensions:
- Keyword targeting, Heavier focus on solution-aware and product-aware keywords rather than top-of-funnel awareness terms. Ecommerce buyers know what they need; they're comparing options.
- Content depth, Long-form, expert-driven content with operator credentials. Ecommerce prospects evaluate credibility carefully before converting.
- Conversion design, Forms, trust signals, and CTAs designed for ecommerce brands expectations. Most generic templates don't convert in Ecommerce.
- Channel mix, Ecommerce-specific channels often outperform generic Google + Meta. We integrate based on where ecommerce brands actually researches.
- Measurement, Attribution windows extended to match Ecommerce buying cycles. Default 7-day click attribution lies for considered purchases.
Pricing for Social Media for Ecommerce
Social Media engagements for Ecommerce typically run $2,500-$15,000/month depending on scope. Single-channel work starts at $1,500/month with experienced specialists delivery. Multi-channel engagements integrating Social Media with paid media, email, or creative start higher.
All engagements are quarter-to-quarter, month-to-month. We work with ecommerce brands that want a serious partner, not a vendor relationship.
