You’ve built your Shopify store. The products are loaded, the checkout works, and you’re ready to start selling. But there’s one problem: no one knows you exist. Marketing your Shopify store effectively is the difference between a thriving business and an empty warehouse.
The good news? You don’t have to figure this out alone. As a London-based Shopify agency with over 25 years of ecommerce experience, we’ve helped hundreds of merchants transform their marketing from an afterthought into their biggest competitive advantage.
Foundation: Before You Drive Traffic
Before investing a single pound in marketing, ensure your foundation is solid. Traffic is worthless if your store can’t convert visitors into customers.
Store Health Check
Your marketing efforts will be wasted if your store has underlying issues. Our Shopify Site Audit identifies problems that kill conversions:
- Security vulnerabilities that erode customer trust
- Performance issues that cause visitors to bounce before seeing your products
- Mobile experience problems that alienate the majority of traffic
- Checkout friction that abandons sales at the final moment
We’ve seen stores increase conversions by 30% simply by fixing technical issues uncovered in our audit. Don’t build a leaky bucket—plug the holes before pouring in traffic.
Conversion-Optimized Design
A custom theme designed for your specific brand and customers dramatically outperforms generic templates. Our London developers create conversion-focused designs that:
- Load instantly on all devices
- Guide visitors naturally toward purchase
- Reflect your unique brand identity
- Incorporate psychological triggers that drive action
AI-Optimized SEO: The New Frontier
Traditional SEO isn’t enough anymore. With over 60% of shoppers now using AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Copilot for product research, you need to optimize for AI search engines.
Why AI SEO Matters
Imagine a customer asking ChatGPT: “What’s the best sustainable skincare brand for sensitive skin?” If your products aren’t optimized for AI discovery, you’re invisible to this growing audience. Traditional Google SEO can’t help you here.
Our Answer Rank Solution
We’ve developed Answer Rank specifically to solve this problem. Our AI-optimized SEO service ensures your products appear in AI-generated recommendations across:
- ChatGPT – The world’s most popular AI assistant
- Microsoft Copilot – Integrated into Bing and Windows
- Google Gemini – Google’s advanced AI search
- Perplexity – The AI-powered search engine
We implement structured data markup, optimize product content for large language models, and monitor your visibility in AI search results. As AI becomes the primary way people discover products, Answer Rank positions you at the forefront of this shift.
Social Media Marketing That Converts
Social media offers unmatched opportunities to build brand awareness and drive sales—if you know what you’re doing. Our London marketing team specialises in performance-driven campaigns across the platforms that matter.
Facebook and Instagram Advertising
Meta’s advertising platform remains one of the most powerful tools for ecommerce marketing. We create campaigns that:
- Target audiences with laser precision based on demographics, interests, and behaviours
- Use creative that stops the scroll and drives action
- Implement retargeting to recapture lost visitors
- Scale budgets efficiently based on performance data
The key is continuous testing and optimisation. We constantly iterate on ad copy, images, and audience targeting to maximise your return on ad spend.
TikTok: The Viral Opportunity
TikTok has evolved from a novelty into a serious commerce platform. Its algorithm can expose your brand to millions of potential customers overnight. Our approach focuses on:
- Authentic content that feels native to the platform
- User-generated content campaigns that build trust
- Influencer partnerships that extend your reach
- Trend participation that keeps your brand relevant
TikTok marketing requires a different mindset than traditional advertising. It’s about entertainment first, sales second. Get the entertainment right, and sales follow.
Email and SMS Marketing
Your existing customers are your most valuable asset. Email and SMS marketing let you build relationships that drive repeat purchases and increase lifetime value.
Automated Email Flows
We set up automated email sequences that work while you sleep:
- Welcome series that introduces new subscribers to your brand
- Abandoned cart recovery that recaptures lost sales
- Post-purchase follow-ups that encourage reviews and repeat purchases
- Win-back campaigns that re-engage dormant customers
These flows generate revenue consistently, requiring minimal ongoing effort once properly configured.
SMS Marketing for Immediate Impact
SMS boasts open rates exceeding 98%, making it unmatched for time-sensitive promotions. We help you use SMS strategically:
- Flash sales and limited-time offers
- Order updates and shipping notifications
- Exclusive subscriber-only discounts
- Back-in-stock alerts for coveted products
The key is restraint. Overuse SMS, and subscribers opt out. Use it wisely, and it becomes your highest-converting channel.
Content Marketing: Building Authority
Content marketing serves two purposes: driving organic traffic and establishing your brand as an authority in your space. Both outcomes support your broader marketing efforts.
Blog Content Strategy
Our team creates content that ranks in search engines and genuinely helps your customers:
- How-to guides that solve specific customer problems
- Product comparisons that help customers make informed decisions
- Industry insights that position your brand as a thought leader
- Behind-the-scenes content that builds emotional connection
Each piece of content serves a strategic purpose—capturing search traffic, nurturing leads, or reinforcing brand values.
Video Content
Video increasingly dominates social media and search results. We help you produce:
- Product demonstrations that show your products in action
- Customer testimonials that build trust through social proof
- Educational content that provides genuine value
- Brand stories that connect emotionally with your audience
You don’t need Hollywood production values. Authentic, helpful video content often outperforms polished but insincere alternatives.
Performance-Based Growth: A New Model
Here’s the truth about most marketing agencies: they get paid regardless of results. They win, you lose.
We do things differently.
Our Performance-Based Pricing Model
We offer unique results-based pricing where our fees are directly linked to your KPIs. This means:
- Aligned incentives – We only succeed when you succeed
- Measurable ROI – Every pound you spend generates clear returns
- Risk-sharing – We shoulder the risk alongside you
- Long-term partnership – We’re invested in your continued growth
This model attracts confident agencies and serious merchants alike. If you’re committed to growth, we’re willing to bet on our ability to deliver it.
Analytics and Optimisation
Marketing without measurement is waste. We implement comprehensive tracking that tells you exactly what’s working and what isn’t.
Key Metrics to Track
Different marketing channels require different metrics:
- Paid advertising – Return on ad spend, cost per acquisition, conversion rate
- SEO – Organic traffic growth, keyword rankings, click-through rates
- Email marketing – Open rates, click rates, unsubscribe rates, revenue per subscriber
- Social media – Engagement rate, follower growth, referral traffic, conversion rate
Continuous Testing
We never assume we know what works best. Instead, we constantly test:
- A/B testing on ad creative, landing pages, and email subject lines
- Multivariate testing for complex page layouts
- Split testing across different audience segments
Testing creates incremental improvements that compound over time. A 5% improvement here, a 10% improvement there—suddenly you’ve doubled your conversion rate.
Putting It All Together: Your Marketing Strategy
Effective marketing isn’t about choosing one channel. It’s about orchestrating multiple channels into a cohesive strategy.
The Customer Journey
Different marketing channels serve different purposes in the customer journey:
- Awareness – Social media ads, content marketing, AI SEO
- Consideration – Email nurturing, retargeting ads, social proof
- Conversion – Optimised landing pages, abandoned cart recovery, compelling offers
- Retention - Post-purchase emails, loyalty programs, exceptional customer service
Your strategy should address each stage systematically.
Budget Allocation
There’s no perfect formula for budget allocation, but consider these principles:
- Diversify – Don’t rely on a single channel
- Test small – Experiment with new channels with minimal investment before scaling
- Double down on winners – When something works, invest more
- Cut losses quickly – When something doesn’t work, move on
Why Partner with Infinite.agency?
You could handle marketing yourself. Many merchants do. But consider what you gain by partnering with specialists:
25 Years of Ecommerce Experience
We’ve been doing this since before Shopify existed. We’ve seen trends come and go, strategies rise and fall. This perspective helps us focus on what actually works rather than chasing every shiny new tactic.
London-Based Expertise
The UK ecommerce market has unique characteristics. Our London team understands British consumers, seasonal patterns, and cultural nuances that international agencies miss.
Proprietary Tools and Solutions
We’ve developed our own solutions—like Answer Rank for AI SEO—because off-the-shelf tools couldn’t deliver the results our clients needed. You get access to technology and strategies that aren’t available anywhere else.
Performance-Based Pricing
We’re confident enough in our abilities to tie our fees to your results. How many agencies will say that?
Getting Started
Marketing your Shopify store effectively is a journey, not a destination. The best time to start was yesterday. The second-best time is now.
We typically begin with a comprehensive audit of your current store and marketing efforts. This identifies quick wins and foundational issues that need addressing before we pour fuel on the fire.
From there, we develop a custom strategy based on your goals, budget, and competitive landscape. Some merchants need aggressive growth through paid advertising. Others need sustainable organic growth through content and SEO. Most need a balanced approach across multiple channels.
Whatever your situation, we’ve seen it before and we know how to help.
