Project Brief for Shopify Marketing Strategy Success
How does an ecommerce thrive without putting its products front and center? By getting its core values and social mission messages to resonate with a core following. The Shopify marketing strategy we implemented for LoLo was all about body-positivity messaging, with a healthy dose of love for people and planet before product. Through collaboration and brainstorming, BeeSmart and LoLo came up with a plan to change messaging, tone, and frequency on social media and email marketing. We also refocused our influencer marketing solely on an already successful, targeted niche.
