Optimize your online store instead of creating a new one? No problem!
Do you already have an online store on the web, but are no longer convinced by its functionality or success rate? Perhaps an up-to-date extension is also due? As a proven eCommerce agency from Switzerland, we will be happy to analyze your marketing platform and put it through its paces in a professional test. We can identify optimization potential and use it according to your wishes. It may be possible to optimize your existing web store – our specialists will find out. Otherwise, we could offer you the option of getting your store back on track with improved technology. Of course, we offer you this technological implementation of modern solutions from a single source. If a suitable basis is available, it is therefore not absolutely necessary for you to have us create a completely new online store.
Have a high-revenue online store created for omnichannel and multichannel marketing
There are several options available for digital sales, which we examine together with you based on your product specifications and marketing objectives and select the most promising one. For example, a multichannel sales strategy in which your products or services are marketed on several channels could be expedient – for example, parallel to the web store through sales via an app or in a store. The sales channels run independently of each other. Omnichannel marketing is different: here, interaction takes place between the various sales channels, in which customer information can be incorporated. With this strategy, our online store agency presents your offer holistically. This opens up even more opportunities for contact with potential buyers and for a seamless customer approach. By exploiting all potential, a significant increase in sales is possible. As an experienced webshop agency from Zurich, we are at home with both strategies. If you have us create an online store for you, we will advise you on the respective advantages in relation to your marketing requirements in the run-up to implementation.
Buy an eCommerce platform: We integrate ERP systems on request
Webshops are becoming increasingly complex. Today, their planning, development and realization is a matter for proven experts who, in addition to programming, graphics, functionality and other indispensable features, also master the integration of the online store into a company’s process landscape. After all, the exchange of information from your sales website to the ERP and back should provide both suppliers and customers with valuable data – a structural information advantage that can be decisive in digital competition. Trust our expertise as a specialized eCommerce agency from Switzerland. We create attractive ways for your customers to reach your offer quickly and in a targeted manner. Our e-commerce integration experts will integrate your web store end-to-end into your company’s processes to ensure holistic process optimization and automation. If you let us create an online store for you, you can use synergies and create maximum access to your product range for your customers with a very efficient use of resources.
The eCommerce agency from Switzerland for in-house programming, WordPress or Drupal websites
There is no universal e-commerce solution for all requirements. In one case, WordPress as a proven content management system may be the best choice, in another a Drupal website. We know our way around both worlds and offer you practical e-commerce advice on the most appropriate decision. From our point of view, the open source CMS solution Drupal is becoming increasingly popular because it has many advantages. For example, no license is required for your own Drupal website developments, the solution is very search engine friendly, has a high market share and optimally integrates store systems. In addition, we also develop individual e-commerce solutions for you according to your needs. However, it is also often the case that in-house programming is superior to standard systems for certain objectives – for which we, as a recognized Swiss agency, provide you with the necessary expertise when you have your online store created by us.
Have an online store created with Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and Shopify
We implement the right store system tailored to your needs. The criteria for deciding which platform is the most suitable for your company are based on design preferences, the existing SEO concept, usability and user-friendliness as well as the ability to integrate into your existing structures. If you have your online store created by us, you can count on this plus point: We are independent in our choice of Shopware and are a Magento agency as well as a Shopify partner or BigCommerce partner. Our clients therefore appreciate the fact that we do not primarily act as a Magento, Woocommerce or Shopify agency and prefer to leave all options open to you in order to bring the best store system for your sales online. It goes without saying that all the services required for this are part of our service portfolio.
Best results through A/B testing and UX optimization
Our online store agency from Zurich leaves nothing to chance, which is why we put your e-commerce site to the test to identify potential for optimization. A/B testing is a process in which we test two versions of a web store page for performance and conversions. They are randomly displayed to users and tested in a real competitive situation. We also ensure an optimal user experience. UX optimization applies to all areas that the user of your online store comes into contact with and relates to their experience. Our core task in UX optimization is to make this experience as comprehensive, exciting and consistently positive as possible.
Our social media integration makes the difference when creating an online store
The lack of a seamless social media connection can cost e-commerce crucial points. But if it is in place, it gives you a strong competitive advantage. By also presenting your online business on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn, we create important points of contact with your target group, intensify customer loyalty and provide sources of inspiration around your brand that appeal to your buyers almost incidentally. You should not have an online store created that ignores this connection to the customer. As an eCommerce agency from Switzerland, we therefore suggest that our clients in almost all sectors use social media not just as a “nice to have”, but as a fully-fledged marketing tool.
