Is this you?

You’re setting next year’s budget and want targets built from your own trading, not a percentage on last year.
You’re about to brief, review or replace an agency and need an independent baseline first.
Sales are growing but margin isn’t: discounts, returns and ad costs are eating it.
Your team, your agencies and your platforms all report different numbers.

What’s included

Everything in the Growth Audit, then the forecast, margin plan and roadmap that turn its priorities into a year of work.

The Growth Audit

Your site and trading scored across conversion and CX, email and lifecycle, customer feedback, channels and content.

Three-year trading review

Gross to net, traffic, conversion, AOV, new against returning customers, revenue by channel and product, year on year.

Acquisition and payback

What a new customer costs against break-even, cost by channel, and whether they pay back within 90 days.

Paid media assessment

Campaign and creative-level review of Meta, Pinterest or Google Ads, reconciled against your own sales.

12-month forecast

Monthly targets built from traffic, conversion, order value, media spend and email, so you can see what has to be true to hit the number.

Margin and promotion plan

Discount depth, free-shipping threshold and returns cost tested against break-even, and a promotion calendar with a contribution-margin view of the year.

12-month roadmap

Four phases, monthly activities by workstream, owners, key dates and the KPI each month should reach.

Leadership workshop

A working session with your senior team to agree priorities, owners and timings, so the plan is yours, not mine.

What you receive

  • A one-page scorecard. Red, amber or green on each lever, and what’s driving it.
  • A written assessment. Trading, acquisition, margin and paid media, with ranked priorities tied to traffic, AOV or retention.
  • Your forecast and margin plan. A working model you keep, with monthly targets and a promotion calendar.
  • Your 12-month roadmap. Who does what, month by month, and the number each month should hit.
  • A first 90-day plan. Three to five actions, each with an owner, agreed in the workshop.

Data spread across too many systems?

If your trading sits across an ecommerce platform, stock system, marketplaces, CRM and retail tills, the assessment can start with data mapping, delivered with our data partner, so everything is reconciled into one view first.

Questions

What do you need from us?

Read-only access to your store, analytics, ad and email platforms, your gross margin, fees and fulfilment cost per order, and any existing plan, promotion or launch calendar. I never change anything in your accounts.

How much of our time does it take?

About an hour to set up access, a short check-in on the forecast assumptions, and a half-day leadership workshop in week four.

Who should come to the workshop?

Whoever owns the number: usually the founder or MD, your ecommerce and marketing leads and, ideally, finance. Your agencies are welcome too.

Can we use it to brief an agency?

Yes. It gives any agency one set of numbers, clear priorities and targets to be measured against.

How is our data handled?

Read-only access, a short data agreement at onboarding, and your data used only for your assessment.

What happens after the four weeks?

Your team runs the plan, or you move to Trading Support or Trading Partner and I track every change against its results, month by month.

Go into next year with one plan everyone is working from.
