How This 256-Point Audit Has Given New And Established Brands New Life During Difficult Times
Over the last five years, eCommerce has seen a great surge in interest. More people are shopping online than ever before, and with the global events of 2020 and on, more people were forced online to find what they'd otherwise go to their local mall or specialty store to find.
As a result, hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs have taken note of this opportunistic boom and started integrating eCommerce into their business or started entirely new online businesses in a time that made it (almost) impossible to fail.
Almost every business owner's dream is to establish a thriving, profitable business as fast as humanly possible.
The allure to starting an eCommerce business to many stems from the ability to run businesses with relatively low overhead due to the nature of the business model in most cases.
With the financial barrier to entry being reduced so greatly by minimizing needs for commercial office spaces, employees, and even on-hand inventory, eCommerce almost seems like a no brainer - or so it did.
Unfortunately, many people that have tried to get into eCommerce over the last several years are now finding it difficult to maintain sales or slow the decline due to a rougher than expected economy, supply chain constraints, and inflation.
Now, not all eCommerce businesses fail due to encountering only these obstacles.
Many of these difficulties are outside of the control of these business owners, leaving many wondering what can be done.
So, what can be done?
Throughout the writing of this article, we reached out to different economists, marketers, and business owners for comment on actionable advice that business owners could use to weather this difficult season for commerce in general.
When asked about what eCommerce business owners should do to turn things around in a difficult economy, this was just some of the feedback given:
"As a person, I suggest that you control what you can control, and don't worry about what you can't.
Focus on getting things as far along as you can, and don't stress about what you can't take any further."
Stephen Kommer, owner of Ascension Digital Marketing, has been in the sales and marketing space for nearly 12 years - working with over 870+ eCommerce brands over the course of that time.
We went on to ask, what does that look like in a recession or difficult economy?
"You have to be willing to be your biggest critic. Do not assume that anything within your business is "good enough." There are always ways to do something differently that can end up being better in the long run."
Kommer went on to say:
"The first thing that anyone can do to better their operation is to do a self assessment on the business. Flip it upside down, double check everything, tighten the bolts, and see the difference that just doing that makes."
We asked Kommer what the fastest places to look for improvement are.
To which he replied -
"I've worked with over 870 different eCommerce brands hands-on over the last 11 or so years."
"Over that time, only a few dozen, maybe 50 tops out of tens of thousands of businesses audited, actually had an understanding of what was necessary to crack the 7, 8, or even 9-figure prior to working with them."
When asked why this was the case, or what would lead to this shocking reality, Kommer broke out the data.
"84% of the brands we audited barely had a foundation to begin with when it came to how they set up their systems, sales funnels, offers, ads, creative direction, you name it - it was a disaster."
When asked why, the answer made sense.
Kommer said:
"Most of these business owners came to us under the assumption that everything was "good enough," to get off the ground and no extra effort was ever taken to make things just that much better."
This isn't surprising of course, as most business owners aren't salespeople or career marketers, or much less know anything about what needed done to cement a high likelihood of success - which is exactly why they come to us in the first place."
When asked what to expect when fixing these different elements of the business, Kommer replied with:
"Four out of five clients under management are able to jump a magnitude of scale rather quickly in the first three to six months of our working relationship."
We asked what he meant by magnitude of scale, where he went on to define the term with an example:
" A client for example would have jumped a magnitude of scale if they were able to go from generating hundreds of thousands to a million in revenue, or to go from generating millions a year to tens of millions. Think of it as finding a way to get an extra zero at the end of your revenue."
Seemingly scientific at this point, we thought that asking how this Figuring out the gaps peaked my interest once I had the revelation that within them was a huge opportunity.
We had kept almost every initial review with clients and prospects, which in retrospect was probably the reason we've been able to grow into what we are today.
By identifying the disconnects between where each client started and where we were able to get them to, we were able to develop a means to resolve the same problems that every store out there faces when attempting to scale.
However, this is exactly what people need to take things to the next level - A team dedicated to success using, implementing, and refining proven frameworks that can be copied and pasted into any business from the start without having to do the work twice."
We guarantee that the audit pays for itself with an improvement in sales within 90 days or you get a full refund and $100 for wasting your time.
Look At The Turnaround This Client Had Last Q4
It has everything to do with having consulted
We take the time to educate business owners on the importance of having strong foundations within their business, especially surrounding their cashflow.
What's that mean?
To break it down simply, we look at the main ways your customers find and engage with you and how you're keeping them interested in your products or services. This is the very way in which you grow as a brand.
If you can grow your customer base wherever you can get them, you can win.
If you're in eCommerce, you should know the main drivers of customers like the back of your hand.
Incase you don't, this is something worth remembering so pay attention.
When it comes to eCommerce, you're typically going to drive sales using:
- Email Campaigns & Automations
- Conversion Rate Optimization
- Search Engine Optimization
- Facebook & Instagram Ads
- Google Ads
We look at all of these areas and more so that you can use them to your advantage, knowing full well that all of them are set up to keep you from failing.
Why do we look at these specifically?
It's so that you can get all of the insight and strategy that your business needs to be more and more profitable.
Keep in mind, this is all without doing anything other than having us perform our High Performance Audit, covering 250+ detailed and essential elements to your marketing stack, website, and brand as a whole.
Now, we can't say that this is going to make an awful business a million dollars overnight.
What it will do though is give a good business the opportunity to become a great business.
Without anything other than a few hundred dollars to diagnose the issues with your business, identify the solutions and see what difference they make over the next 90 days.
That can't be said without at least a little bit of bias however.

Benjamin Franklin once said "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail."
Brands often times plan for Q4 too late into the year... That's the reality of it.
Rule of thumb - if you don't have Q4 plans finalized by the end of June, you're behind.
Over the last 12 years, we've worked with over 11 dozen different niches, industries, and verticals within the eCom space.
It's over 130 different markets, industries, and verticals for context.
The thing that separated strong brands from weak brands became clearer the more and more we scaled.
Strong brands aren't led by the lazy.
It didn't matter if it was woman's hair care brands or survival gear - the worst performing brands were led by lazy business owners, often leaving things to be handled at the 11th hour.
The sad part... not planning far enough in advance led to an even worse start to the next year as far as sales are concerned.
The sadder part - it doesn't have to be this way. It's 100% avoidable, you just haven't chosen to make a change yet.
The quote you see just a few sentences above will continue to ring true until the end of time until something changes.
Let's face it - It's difficult to critique your business as the owner.
We all have bias. We all want to be proud of what we've built, acknowledge the blood, sweat, and tears shed along the way.
That's okay. Do that.
However, that's exactly why we won't acknowledge the flaws of our own businesses...
As the owners, we don't want to see the flaws.
However, that's what will prevent us from growing our businesses further.
Let us help you get over that hurdle and take things to the next level.

We Are 100% Data Driven
Not one line item in our audit is subjective without supporting data.
We focus on the fundamental requirements for a scalable foundation. it is very hard to not get the data you need to have a profitable eCommerce business over the next 90 days.
Unfortunately, it's true that there isn't just one area affecting the profitability and overall sales of most eCommerce brands.
Is it the website? Probably
Is it the ads we are running? Might be
Could it be our back-end customer experience? Yeah, it's reasonable to believe that it might be.
What about our organic social media content?
It might be an issue if you're not posting multiple times a day every day.
This list could go on for miles, but you probably just want to know the one magic bullet to put an end to all of the problems, right?

The magic bullet to identify, fix, and replace the parts of your business that don't perform well exists.
In fact - it's free and at your disposal (on this very web page).
Here's the hang up...
You're going to download the free audit, and not actually do the audit.
No one could ever blame you for having good intentions - but you can blame yourself for your business staying where it's at due to inaction.
That's just one of the sad truths.
The other sad truth that hurts just 1,000x more...
Even if you did do the audit yourself, you're probably going to base the results of the audit on your feelings.
Unfortunately, feelings don't pay the bills.
Sometimes we can be our own worst critics, and it's hard to not be emotional when you've poured your blood, sweat, and tears into something...

Especially your business.
No one can wear every hat well, and its rare to find anyone that can be effective while wearing two at the same time.
Knowing this - why force yourself to wear more hats than you should?
Remember - We've done tens of thousands of these audits. Over 27,000 to be (kinda) specific.
We don't let bias or pride affect the outcome of the audit.
Why? It does not add value to the results.
In fact, we couldn't guarantee that you'd see growth in your revenues over the next 90 days if we based even one thing in the audit on emotion.
Take the risk out of understanding the faults in the foundation of your business.
Let us be honest with you, show you how to fix the problems that your business specifically are struggling with, and help you make more money.

Frequently Asked Questions
The guarantee offered with the Done-For-You Audit is pretty straight forward.
We guarantee that within 90 days of implementing the changes determined to be necessary as a result of the audit, that you will see an increase in sales.
You must implement all of the changes and allow for 90 days to pass in order to qualify for the refund and additional $100 USD.
If you prefer that we handle the implementation and management of these recommendations, you'd be offered a more significant level of protection by comparison to the audit guarantee as a retained client.
Typically speaking, results are seen faster if ads are being ran.
However, regardless of ads, it's imperative to have consistent exposure to your existing and new audiences.
Most businesses that complete the Done-For-You audit see results double month over month for about 90-180 days following the implementation of the corrective measures mapped out in the completed audit.
Story time.
This client came to us when they were just getting ready to launch.
Quite literally days from coming into the market...
Intelligently, they wanted a second opinion on where they were at, and thank God they asked for one.
In just a few hours we uncovered what could've been the least prepared Shopify launch we've ever seen.
Bad website, a restricted business manager, no email opt-in, and not even consistent product photos...
So, they had to start from scratch days before their big launch.
Can you imagine the feeling of having to start over before even starting?
I can't, they couldn't either.
But, that's not the right question to ask.
The right question is - Could you imagine that if they didn't do the audit, that they wouldn't have made one, let alone almost THREE MILLION DOLLARS their first year in business?
I can't... Can you?
