Requirement

We have invested in a new professionally built website. However, we want to ensure that the website is supported by other digital marketing activities. Consequently, we are looking to source specialist digital marketing advice and support, covering:

  • SEO Optimisation
  • Content creation and website updates
  • E-commerce Conversion Optimisation
  • E mail website automation workflows

We are looking for a company to support us across all our channels. We are happy with our website and some elements of our online marketing but need to make sure that all channels are complementary and that everything we do is focussed on converting to sales.

We therefore have a requirement for a company that can demonstrate a track record of:

  • Driving e-commerce sales through multi-funnel campaigns.
  • Search Engine Marketing
  • Social Media Content Creation
  • Setting goals, and monitoring & reporting against targets

Merakilo wishes to continue conducting business using the existing domain name (www.merakilo.com), using ‘Shopify’ as an online platform.

We are looking for quotes to provide the above service for an initial 6 month period.
