What is ROAS & Why Is It Important in Ecommerce?

What is ROAS & Why Is It Important in Ecommerce? | Digital 38

You must have encountered the term ROAS during the start of your Ecommerce journey. Did you ever wonder what it means, and why experts are urging most online business owners to learn about it and what it brings? Fortunately, Digital 38 is here to guide you to understand what ROAS is, and why you should pay attention to it.  

What is ROAS?  

ROAS basically stands for Return on Ad-Spend (ROAS). Its expounded name is rather self-explanatory but we still need to elaborate it in order for us to understand its purpose and value.  

ROAS refers to the earnings you gain after running ad campaigns. And its application or use is not only limited within brick-and-mortar shops. With Ecommerce rapidly growing, marketers and business owners alike leverage marketing strategies – be it the traditional OOH or digital ones – to boost traffic and sales.  

Calculating ROAS 

Finding out your business’ ROAS is pretty easy as it involves simple math. All you have to do is divide your total advertising revenue with the total cost spent on executing your ad campaigns. Then multiply the quotient by 100.  

For example, if your online shop generated SGD200,000 for a month-long sales event, and you spent a total of SGD100,000 for your ads and other marketing tactics for it, then your ROAS is 200%.  

Why Should I Pay Attention to ROAS?  

Some businesses just take ROAS for granted, or worse – do not consider them as part of their overall growth plans and decisions. Below are some key takeaways for you to know why ROAS is important, even in Ecommerce.  

Optimise Budget Planning

In every business, it is important for managers and key-decision makers to map out their expenses and earnings. After all, you need to make sure you’re raking in more sales than costs. Calculating your ROAS will definitely help you optimise your financial statements, including budget plans, as they will give you an idea of how much you will be investing in your business in the future. 

Determine Ad Campaigns’ Performance

One of the key objectives of ROAS is to point out how well your campaigns are doing. The higher the revenue, the higher your ROAS will be. And the higher your ROAS are, it usually indicates that your ads are effective in attracting buyers to purchase your products online. On the other hand, if your ROAS turned out to be lower than you’ve expected, or did not meet the target you’ve initially set, you may reconsider the ads and strategies you deployed for your recent campaign.  

Help You Arrive at Better, More Informed Decisions

As mentioned previously, some business owners and managers do not consider ROAS as part of their decision-making process. However, the case should be the opposite as reports or data involving ROAS will guide you in formulating your next steps. Even better, it will help you arrive at better and more informed decisions.

4 Reasons Why Business Owners Love Shopify

Certified Shopify Partners in Singapore | Digital 38

When planning to venture into Ecommerce, then you should consider getting on board Shopify, and learn more about it and how to kickstart your online business from official partners based in Singapore.  

What is Shopify?  

Ecommerce for starters almost always involves creating a website. A website where you can showcase your products, and provide buyers with another platform to search and purchase them. This is where Ecommerce platforms like Shopify come in. 

You see, Shopify has been considered one of the giants in the aspect of Ecommerce. Not only because hundreds, if not thousands, brands build their Ecommerce website with it. But it is also packed with various Ecommerce functions you can think of that are sure to help your business grow. And we have run down the top four reasons why online stores love Shopify. 

1. Product Information Management (PIM) System 

Having a Product Information Management, or simply known as PIM, is essential in any type of online business. PIM systems allow you to track your inventory, and monitor what details are being released or marketed to promote your products on the internet.  

When creating your online store on Shopify, you don’t need to look for a third-party PIM system to be able to do these tasks. Shopify has a built-in PIM system every time you successfully registered your business on the platform. With it, you can edit and manage every piece of information about your product, such as serial numbers, SKU codes, descriptions, and photos in just one platform.  

2. Order Management System

Aside from having its own PIM system, Shopify also allows businesses to manage all orders within the platform. Handling all orders that come into your online store must be done efficiently. And fortunately, you don’t have to look outside Shopify to help you optimise them.  

Shopify has the ability to track and give you real-time updates on the status of every order being processed, a summary of your remaining inventory, to name a few.  

3. Marketing & Promotion 

Once you’ve opened your official online store, you need people to visit it and eventually buy some of your products. You need a comprehensive marketing plan to target your right audience. You need digital marketing strategies like email marketing campaigns, SEO or pay-per-click (PPC) tactics, and even sale events! Luckily, you can do all these things with Shopify.  

After successfully registering your business on Shopify, you can choose from the tons of marketing apps it has, both native and those developed from third-party service providers, to support your goals.  

4. Data Center

Doing Ecommerce also involves a lot of data – lots and lots of large volumes of information about your entire online business’ operations. From compiling to processing them, they are not only crucial in formulating your next decisions. But also, they can be a time-consuming and laborious task.  

With Shopify, however, you can efficiently collect and analyse all data about your Ecommerce venture in one platform with its built-in Data Center. In turn, you can plan more informed and data-backed decisions.  

Boost Your Ecommerce to New Heights  

From creating an awesome website to ensuring frictionless shopping experience to your consumers, you can do everything to grow your Ecommerce business with Shopify.

Here’s How to Sync Your Shopify and Shopee Stores

Here’s How to Sync Your Shopify and Shopee Stores | Digital 38

Managing your online stores efficiently is a must in Ecommerce, and synchronizing your Shopify and Shopee stores can be key.  

Shopify vs. Shopee 

Most Ecommerce owners and marketers often think Shopify and Shopee are entirely the same. While there’s some truth to this, we should always identify the differences that set them apart in order to make better and more informed decisions. 

For one, Shopify lets you build your own Ecommerce site, and even customise it according to your branding’s image and message. It provides a comprehensive suite of backend management tools for your online tools, from designing your online store’s frontend to generating performance analytics.  

Shopee, on the other hand, is Southeast Asia’s largest Ecommerce and virtual marketplace. As a B2C platform, sellers on Shopee need to submit several requirements before they can open up shop, and start their business. 

In addition, Shopify and Shopee each have different delivery policies and methods.

Sellers on Shopify have more flexibility on choosing delivery models. Whereas on Shopee, sellers should ship their orders via the platform’s delivery service. They also need to update a customer’s orders within a strict, 48-hour time limit otherwise it will be declared as a ‘false shipment’. 

Harmonizing Your Shopify and Shopee 

Shopify and Shopee may have various differences but savvy Ecommerce owners know they can capitalise on both platforms to help their business grow, by boosting traffic, clicks and sales.  

If you’re already on Shopify, then you’ll be pleased to know that you can synchronize it with your Shopee store through Shopee Channel.  

With Shopee Channel, you can manage orders, inventory and even marketing campaigns on a single platform using your Shopify account. You can also sync your listings from Shopify to your Shopee store, and track your Shopee sales!

Ecommerce: A Beginner’s Guide to Google Shopping Ads | Digital 38

Get to know more about Google Shopping Ads and how it can help your Ecommerce business accomplish more.  

Overview: Google Shopping Ads 

Google is the world’s most popular and widely used search engine. It is basically the first thing internet users visit when accessing the web. With millions of internet users hitting the search bar every minute, it’s no wonder why brands are also capitalising on the platform. 

For quite some time now, Google has offered its services and platform to help businesses, including Ecommerce ones, reach out to more markets and establish strong, brand presence online.  

Aside from enabling brands to publish and manage search ads, the tech giant also lets you scale up your campaign with Google Shopping Ads.  Read on as we discuss with you some of its benefits.  

Benefits of Google Shopping Ads

Similar to Google Search Ads, Google Shopping Ads are placed prominently on the topmost portion of the Search Engine Results Page (SERP), enabling you to gain more exposure and ultimately, generate more traffic and conversions for your Ecommerce site.

Step Up Your Ecommerce Game with These Marketing Tools from Shopify

Step Up Your Ecommerce Game with These Marketing Tools from Shopify | Digital 38

There’s no better time to level up your Ecommerce game than today, and in this article, we’ll guide you to some of the most helpful marketing tools you can use for your Shopify store.  

Ecommerce Marketing: Why I Need It?  

Opening up your first online store is as exciting as launching its brick-and-mortar counterpart. But that’s just the first of the many steps you’ll have to take to make sure your business is kicking and growing.  

You need to promote your products and brand in order to establish a strong presence in the market, and drive sales. These are crucial elements for your Ecommerce’s growth. And this is why you need Ecommerce marketing. 

Simply put, Ecommerce marketing refers to the strategies designed to support your online business’ goals.  

Some Ecommerce owners and marketers often interchange Ecommerce marketing with digital marketing. While both share several similarities and are not mutually exclusive, it is important for you to know what sets them both apart. 

Why? Because this will help you map out which tactics you need and fit for your plans.  

Ecommerce marketing can be done electronically like using social media sites, content marketing, and email marketing, and traditionally such as store booths and on-site events. Digital marketing, on the other hand, strictly refers to strategies that utilise the internet and other digital technologies.  

In case you’re wondering, yes, you can have digital marketing tactics such as search marketing and social media advertising as part of your overall Ecommerce marketing plans.  

Marketing Tools on Shopify 

Fortunately, most Ecommerce site builders like Shopify provide businesses with tons of options, and a huge room to experiment and execute marketing campaigns.  

In Shopify, you can use a mix of its native marketing tools and third-party apps to promote your brand and products. But below are the top essentials when it comes to Ecommerce marketing. 

1. Shopify Email

Shopify Email is Shopify’s native email marketing campaign service provider. It allows you to send large volumes of email campaigns such as newsletters to your existing customers, and reminders to buyers who have items abandoned in their carts.  

Email marketing remains one of the most effective strategies to boost traffic and revenue for Ecommerce businesses. Not only does it provide additional value to a customer’s shopping experience. But it’s also effective in reinforcing customer loyalty.  

2. Messenger Sales Channel

You can turn engagements into conversions by tapping internet users on Meta-owned platforms such as Facebook through Messenger Sales Channel.  

Messenger Sales Channel allows you to communicate with customers using Facebook or Messenger, making it a great channel to roll out customer support. As long as you connect your Shopify Store to your Facebook Business Page, you can interact with potential buyers and your loyal customers anytime.  

3. Google Channel

Shopify also enables you to tap opportunities on Google, the world’s largest search engine.  

With Google Channel, you can automatically synch your Shopify products and other relevant information about your Shopify store with your brand’s Google Merchant Center.  

Through Google Merchant Center, you can run marketing campaigns such as YouTube ads and pay-per-click (PPC) tactics on various Google platforms. Search engines like Google play a critical role in helping your business grow because search engine bars are almost always the first stop of every online customer’s purchasing journey.

Liese Malaysia’s CNY 2022 Campaign 

Holidays have become more meaningful for consumers nowadays. Brands are capitalising milestones and events to stir commerce activities both in their physical and virtual shops. And such is the case for Kao Corporation’s Liese.  

Liese had setup collaborative ads to promote its Chinese New Year sale event on the official website of Guardian, Singapore and Malaysia’s largest beauty and health retailer. Potential buyers on Guardian stand the chance to win several Apple products, including an iPad Mini, by purchasing several Liese products.

As a result, the brand not only reinforced its brand presence in Malaysia but also saw an increase in sales, both happened to be key factors in a business’ growth. 

Why Do You Need Ecommerce Ads?  

Even in Ecommerce, advertising plays a vital role to support your business’ uninterrupted growth.
