Ecommerce Marketing in London
Marketing an online shop for London retailers, where the numbers are unusually unforgiving. Every channel is measurable against margin, and a campaign that looks successful on revenue can be losing money once returns, discounting and shipping are subtracted from it.
Why this comes up
The problem
Ecommerce marketing gets judged on return on ad spend, which ignores cost of goods, returns and shipping. Businesses scale campaigns that are quietly unprofitable per order.
What you get
What we deliver
- Contribution margin per product established, so decisions use profit rather than revenue
- Product feeds built and maintained for shopping campaigns and marketplaces
- Email flows connected to purchase behaviour — abandoned basket, replenishment, win-back
- Paid social and search allocated against measured cost per acquisition, not blended
- Returns rate factored into channel decisions, since some channels return far more
- Reporting on profit after all variable costs, not on return on ad spend alone

London
London clients usually come to us because they want senior people actually on their project rather than a large agency's B team, and because Midlands rates buy considerably more delivery per pound.

Ecommerce Marketing in London — common questions
- Our return on ad spend looks healthy. Why are we not profitable?
- Because it measures revenue against ad cost and nothing else. Once cost of goods, shipping, payment fees, discounting and returns come out, a campaign at 3x can be losing money. Contribution margin is the figure worth optimising against.
- Which channel should we start with?
- Usually email and shopping campaigns, because both capture existing demand cheaply. Paid social creates demand and costs more to learn on. Starting where intent already exists gets you profitable data faster.
- How much do returns actually matter?
- In apparel, enormously — return rates of a third are normal and they change which products and channels are worth pushing. A campaign selling high-return lines can be a loss disguised as growth.
- Do we need to be on marketplaces?
- It depends whether you value volume or margin and customer ownership. Marketplaces bring reach and take commission plus the customer relationship. Plenty of brands do both deliberately, with different products on each.
- Do you work with businesses across Greater London?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout London, including London and the surrounding Greater London area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of London businesses do you usually work with?
- Clients here are usually replacing an agency, and want senior people on the work at rates that are not Central London rates. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Professional Services, Technology, Media, Hospitality and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around London?
- Yes — we work throughout London, including Reading, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Brighton. London is an urban area of roughly 9,000,000+, and we take on work across the wider Greater London region rather than the city boundary alone.
