Growth marketing for direct-to-consumer brands

How do D2C brands grow when ad costs keep rising?

By setting budgets on margin rather than one ROAS target, adding channels where demand already exists, such as Amazon and TikTok Shop, and raising the value of each customer through bundles, subscriptions and email. Read how to set a profitable ROAS target.

Should a D2C brand sell on Amazon?

Most should, carefully. Amazon reaches shoppers who already search for your product type, but it takes a referral fee and keeps the customer. Keep pricing consistent and use Brand Registry to protect your listings. Read Amazon vs your own website.

Which ad channels should a D2C brand use?

Meta and TikTok to create demand for products people don’t yet search for, Google Search and Shopping to capture demand that exists, and Amazon ads on your marketplace listings. Start with the channel closest to how your customers already shop.

How do you improve conversion rate on a Shopify store?

Faster mobile pages, product pages that answer real customer questions, clear delivery and returns information, and reviews near the add-to-cart button. Ashby & Vale raised conversion rate by 38% after their rebuild.

When should a D2C brand automate?

Once orders, stock or returns cross more than one channel. Marlow Thread, a fashion brand, saved 31 hours a week and cut order errors by 82% with automated exception handling across four channels.
