I have years of experience promoting online stores. I've managed my own e-shops and worked with a variety of products, including:
- Electronics
- Carpets
- Designer home goods
- Kitchenware
- Dietary supplements
- Children’s furniture
- Toys
- Cameras
And not just in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but also in the UK, Germany, Poland, Australia, Japan, the UAE, and the USA.
Like any e-shop owner, I was constantly looking for ways
to boost sales and profits. I experimented a lot and tried various approaches.
Over several years, I invested
more than 400k € in marketing.
Initially, I worked with a range of experts in the field, including:
- 4 marketing agencies
- More than 5 freelancers
I listened closely, absorbed their knowledge and expertise, and thought that by leaving this work to professionals, it would pay off. I made an effort not to interfere with their work.
Unfortunately, I didn’t see the results, and
the investment wasn’t worthwhile.
So, I began diving deeper into marketing myself to understand how I could impact my own results. I bought Perry Marshall's book on Google Ads, read it, learned the mechanics, and started setting up my own ad campaigns.
It’s a great book for understanding how to work with text and banner ad campaigns. However, in e-commerce, most sales come from Shopping Ads.
