eCommerce Coaching

By Newfound Marketing

Unlock your online store’s full potential with expert coaching and take your business to new heights.

Shopify currently has the largest eCommerce platform market share in the USA, with nearly one in three online businesses using it to power their stores.

But when it comes to successful online shops, there is no easy button. (Sorry.)

Successful stores are complicated, but Shopify has worked hard to make the process look simple on the surface. Maybe you have a handle on the basics and know enough to do well enough. But we can give you the tools and knowledge that will truly take things to the next level.

Imagine…

What if you could…

  • Sell products 24/7, even while you binge your latest Netflix obsession…

  • Expand your customer base beyond your local neighbourhood markets…

  • Do away with the endless back and forth of selling via Instagram DMs…

  • Automatically reach out to repeat customers you haven’t seen in awhile…

  • Keep your shop open no matter what’s happening in the outside world…

  • Build a sustainable and thriving business to create the life of your dreams…

eCommerce Coaching is our completely customized personal coaching system for optimizing your eCommerce business so you can work less, and live more.

You’ll meet one-on-one with our eCommerce coaches for 60-minute weekly calls for as few or as many weeks as you need. This also includes:

  • Customized coaching workbook filled with tips and best practices
  • The ultimate eCommerce launch checklist
  • Recordings or your sessions you can refer back to at any time

Since we work with you one-on-one we only take on a very select number of students for eCommerce Coaching. Space is limited each month, so grab your seat early.

You could DIY and tinker with your shop for months on your own or you can accelerate your growth with our expert support.

Who are our eCommerce Success Coaches?

Newfound eCommerce Coaching is created and led by our web team of Melissa Hogan and Aprille Balsom.

Melissa has been designing and building websites since 1998 (psst…that’s almost as long as Amazon has existed and longer than Google). She’s seen eCommerce grow from something only startups with big teams and lots of money could have to something accessible to everyone with a business idea. She’s a whiz at organizing content into usable pathways that turn browsers into buyers and make maintaining your shop a breeze.

Aprille has a background in fashion and retail but has pivoted in recent years to web design and development, which makes her a perfect fit to guide you through setting up an eCommerce storefront. She combines creativity with code to bring your ideas to life through beautiful and accessible web applications that work for your business.
