The short answer

What an eCommerce marketing agency does

An eCommerce marketing agency brings buyers to an online store or shopping app with paid ads, creators and product feeds, then turns first orders into repeat customers. The good ones judge campaigns on profit after product cost, shipping and returns, not on revenue. At Admiral Media one senior team runs Meta, TikTok, Google Shopping and creator ads, with the creative to match.

Where online stores lose money

From first look to repeat order

Most stores can buy traffic. Fewer can buy profitable orders. These are the four steps that decide which one you get.

Step 1: Discovery

What goes wrong
Polished brand ads get scrolled past, and the ones that work tire within weeks.
What we change
Creator videos and product demos made for the feed, with new ones ready before the old ones tire.
What we judge it on
Cost per product page visit

Step 2: Product view

What goes wrong
Feed errors, vague titles and weak images waste Shopping and catalogue budgets.
What we change
We clean the product feed: titles people actually search, prices that match, images that show the product in use.
What we judge it on
Click-through rate on Shopping and catalogue ads

Step 3: First order

What goes wrong
A high ROAS on low-margin products still loses money once costs and returns come in.
What we change
Bids and budgets follow margin. We push the products that make money and cap the ones that don't.
What we judge it on
Profit per order after ad cost

Step 4: Repeat order

What goes wrong
Every visitor gets the same retargeting ad, so loyal buyers are paid for twice.
What we change
Separate messages for new, repeat and lapsed buyers, and existing customers left out of acquisition budgets.
What we judge it on
Repeat purchase rate
Shopping ads

Know the rules

What makes eCommerce ads different

Platforms report revenue. Your business runs on profit. These four facts shape how we buy.

Ad platforms report revenue, not profit.
We add product cost, shipping and returns to the numbers and judge channels on what you keep.
Apple's tracking rules hide many iOS sales from Meta and TikTok.
Conversions API and server-side tracking fill the gaps, so bidding sees real orders.
Shopping and catalogue ads run on your product feed.
Feed quality is part of the job: titles, prices, stock and images.
Sales peaks like Black Friday push auction prices up.
Creative and audiences are built weeks before, so peak budgets buy customers, not just reach.

Do the maths

What a lower cost per first order is worth

Put in your own numbers. Same budget, lower cost per new customer, more first orders every month.

Questions

About eCommerce marketing

See all case studies or how we charge.

How much does an eCommerce marketing agency cost?

Usually a monthly fee: a flat retainer or a percentage of ad spend. At Admiral Media it is separate from your media budget, with no budget minimums. You get a written plan and fee after the first call.

How do you measure profit instead of ROAS?

We add product cost, shipping and returns to the revenue each channel reports, then judge campaigns on profit per order after ad cost. Budgets and bids follow margin, not revenue.

Which channels work for online stores?

Meta is usually the steadiest source of profitable new customers, Google Shopping and Performance Max catch people ready to buy, and TikTok and creators work well for products that sell on demonstration.

Do you work with creators and UGC?

Yes. Creator videos usually beat polished brand ads in the feed. kaufDA's creator ads drove 146% more user activity than its regular ads, at an 18% lower CPI.

Do you manage Google Shopping feeds?

Yes. Feed quality decides how Shopping and catalogue ads perform, so we clean titles, prices, stock and images as part of the work.

How do you prepare for Black Friday and Christmas?

We build creative and audiences weeks ahead, test offers before the peak, and set budget rules for the days when auction prices jump.

Do you work with shopping apps as well as websites?

Yes. Published examples include ØNSK, a wishlist app, kaufDA, a shopping and offers app, and a grocery delivery app that cut paid CAC by 91%.

Do you handle both paid media and creative production for eCommerce brands?

Yes. One senior team runs Meta, TikTok, Google Shopping and Performance Max, Snapchat and creator ads, and makes the ad creative that feeds them. Creative is tested against the same profit numbers as the media, so the ads that win are the ones that sell at a margin.

How do you decide where an online store's budget goes?

On data from your own store, not the revenue each platform reports. We judge channels on profit per order after ad cost, product cost, shipping and returns, and add Conversions API and server-side tracking first, because Apple's tracking rules hide many iOS sales from Meta and TikTok.

How much does it cost to work with Admiral Media?

A monthly management fee: a flat retainer or a percentage of media spend, kept separate from your ad budget. There are no budget minimums. You get a written plan and fee after the first call.
