Retail Sector

SEO & Digital Marketing Services for Retail

The percentage of retail sales via the internet peaked at 35 percent in November 2020, levels are predicted to rise as customers exchange busy shopping centres for the convenience and safety of home delivery. Optimising your products for online sales has never been more important. The internet however is a competitive arena, it is important to understand the digital position of your competitors. What are their strengths and weaknesses compared to yours? Can you realistically compete with them for high volume terms or is a lower volume, long tail keyword strategy required? Such strategies often drive more specific, committed customers who provide a higher conversion rate to sale.


Once again it is critical to understand your target market, what drives them? What content do they consume pre and post-sale, simply put... how can you provide your perfect customer with the information they seek? Brand credibility is also critical here, the retail review culture is strong, ignore it at your peril.

''Karen and the team at Lilac James have helped Lifeplus to optimise our website & provided us with international SEO consultation for the past 4 years. This has ranged from strategic planning, content ideation and delivery through to keyword research and technical consultation with our in-house dev teams. The regular monthly insight with actionable outcomes has meant we are continuing to build and deliver a more robust digital strategy - covering social, PR and our web presence. Karen's easy going and no nonsense approach make her and the team easy to work with - with no agency airs and graces. Good, responsive, reliable and quality service and knowledge. In fact, I'd consider them part of our extended team.''

Nordic Garden Buildings


Nordic Garden Buildings, a leading supplier of beautiful, freestanding PVC-u and double glazed garden buildings across the UK and in Europe engaged with Lilac James for full social media management in August 2018.


The objective from the outset was clear; to create awareness and interest within the target audience which crucially would drive leads that convert to sales. Through a combination of organic management and social media advertising it was not too long before Nordic's social channels began to attract attention from garden lovers, self-employed professionals and households wanting to create more space at home.


Key results included an increase of social media traffic by 178%, a reach of 10,000 followers on Facebook, increased page likes by 3,581 and an increase in website goal conversions from social traffic by 310%.


Here is what Justin Williams, Director of Nordic Garden Buildings has to say about recent developments:


“We made the decision to double our social media spend when lockdown started for our specialist consumer-facing division. YTD web traffic up 150%. Post lockdown it’s still tracking 105% up. Crucially this has translated into sales, we could not be happier with the service and the results.''
