eCommerce Marketing NZ
Boost Sales with a Team That Knows How
The eCommerce landscape in New Zealand is more competitive than ever. Getting traffic is one thing – converting that traffic into consistent revenue is another challenge entirely. That’s where we come in.
At Author Digital, we’ve helped eCommerce brands across NZ transform their digital performance from merely surviving to actively scaling. We’re not interested in vanity metrics or short-term wins
Instead, we focus on building sustainable growth engines that deliver predictable revenue month after month.
Think about it – your online store has unique challenges, seasonal patterns, and customer behaviors that generic marketing approaches simply won’t solve.
We get that.
Our team dives deep into your business model, understanding your margins, inventory cycles, and customer lifetime value before crafting a strategy that actually makes sense for your bottom line.
Whether you’re a $100K store looking to hit your first million, or a multi-million dollar operation aiming to dominate your niche, we have the expertise and proven frameworks to get you there. No fluff, no cookie-cutter solutions – just data-driven strategies that deliver real results.
Ready to turn your eCommerce store into a growth machine? Let’s talk about what’s possible.
