What changes when it is e-commerce

Deliverability comes before creative. Beautiful campaigns landing in spam are an expensive way to damage your sending reputation, so authentication and list hygiene are the first job.

In e-commerce, every change must be justified by a controlled experiment against revenue. That single fact reshapes how email & lifecycle marketing has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is search relevance, usually integrated against Shopify, Magento or custom storefronts. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.

Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

catalogue enrichment and attribute extraction

Email & Lifecycle Marketing workloads in e-commerce

  • catalogue enrichment and attribute extraction
  • search relevance
  • product recommendations
  • return-reason analysis
  • support automation

What is included

  • Deliverability foundation, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and list hygiene before any sending
  • Segmentation based on behaviour rather than demographics alone
  • Triggered flows: welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase, win-back
  • WhatsApp lifecycle where opt-in and template rules allow it
  • Testing on subject, send time and offer with real significance thresholds
  • Revenue-per-recipient reporting, not open rates alone

Questions from this sector

How quickly can we see conversion impact?

Search and recommendation changes usually show within two to four weeks of experiment traffic, assuming enough volume to reach significance.

Can you fix our catalogue data?

Yes, attribute extraction from images and descriptions, plus deduplication. Catalogue quality quietly limits both search and recommendations.

Email or WhatsApp in India?

Both, for different jobs. WhatsApp has far higher open rates and stricter rules and costs; email carries longer content and costs almost nothing. Transactional and urgent goes to WhatsApp, considered content to email.

Our emails land in spam. Fixable?

Usually. It is typically authentication records, list quality, or sending patterns rather than content. The audit identifies which, and reputation recovers with disciplined sending.

How often should we send?

Frequency matters less than relevance. Segmented sending to people who want it can be weekly; blasting everyone monthly still generates complaints.
