There is no silver bullet to ecommerce growth. Different audiences and consumer bases act and react in very different ways. That’s why we aren’t just data focussed, but data obsessed.

We were also able to transform the huge burden of customer service, which was falling on the shoulders of the founder and an outsourced team, using our world class, tried and tested hiring process we were able to swiftly build a rockstar team of domestic customer service agents who have been able to reduce costs by half and ensure each and every customer gets the care they deserve.

The key to this partnership was the freedom to test, through site optimisations and really speaking with our customer and audience, finding out their struggles… whether that be technical information on the product – how they decide on the firmness or even navigating the site and understanding our payment options – that whole process is something we looked at in detail to provide user focused improvements that saw a direct +60% increase in conversions.

We focused on solving customers on-site problems to create a better experience, Idle gave us complete freedom for advertising, launching lifestyle focused and sequenced brand-led campaigns increasing brand recognition and trust.

However, what if you could have the insights that you need to run effective marketing efforts and make strategic business decisions that are tailored to your specific business model without the headache? That is what we have built at Growth Shop.

This solution is called the Growth Alchemy Platform. The following is our approach to solving this problem:

  • Completing a data audit of the client’s entire data infrastructure, not just Google Analytics
  • Pre-building data pipelines that are platform-agnostic and our proprietary technology that reduce implementation time by nearly 70%
  • Building custom data visualizations and dashboards tailored to monitoring your business and marketing success in an effective way…that filters out the noise
  • Centralizing all data platforms cleansing and restructuring data through automation that requires little maintenance (hosted by us)


In our existing relationships, we have empowered our clients by providing more visibility and transparency to their data by giving them control over what they need to see when they need to see it. The typical timeline it takes to build a solution such as this could take 4-6 months and cost $100K+ (and that is not including ongoing maintenance and hosting costs). We have established a solution where we can onboard our client’s data infrastructure and build their solution within 4-8 weeks for a fraction of the cost.
