So where do you start in trying to impress an experienced Digital Marketer and show her that you’re the right man to build her online shop for her brand new business?\u00a0 To be honest, it was very much a joint effort to get this one over the ‘finish line’.\u00a0 Jen had a very clear picture of exactly how she wanted the site to look.\u00a0 She’d previously used online shop marketplaces such as Etsy. Jen was ready for something with her own name on.<\/p>\n
Whilst I was in the background building the structure of the site, Jen was gathering her content.\u00a0 I host the website, purchased the domain, created the pages, installed the plugins, claimed an SSL certificate and linked the payment gateways (Stripe and PayPal for Business). Jen produced the content (the good stuff), taking quality product images, writing up description, categorising products and deciding prices for her products.\u00a0 In truth, I don’t think of this project as a website build of my own, but it was very much a joint effort.\u00a0 Without Jen’s ideas of what the online shop should look like and drive to gather content at a super-quick pace, we wouldn’t have finished the website so quickly and precisely.<\/p>\n
I looked forward to the meetings with Jen.\u00a0 We’d meet in the local Costa, mainly chatting about ‘the day job’ at College, then spend the last half an hour clarifying what we both needed to do for the online shop build.\u00a0 I got the coffee’s the first time, Jen the next, everything was 50\/50!\u00a0 Jen collected her content together in a spreadsheet (below) and this is a template that I still use together to gather content for an eCommerce website.<\/p>\n

First International Sales<\/h2>\n
With Pink Milk, we again see the power of an online shop.\u00a0 To start with Jen was mainly selling to the local areas of Norton, Stockton and across the Tees Valley.\u00a0 But in April 2020, just two months after the site was released, Jen made her first international sale, selling products overseas to America\u00a0 It’s fair to say that Jen was elated with this and rightly so!<\/p>\n
