E-Commerce
Bobardt Enterprises Inc. E-Commerce Marketing Agency from Appleton and New York
E-commerce has become an integral part of today’s digital world. Years ago, private shopping behavior largely shifted to the Internet. Large online shops like Amazon have done their part.

As an agency for e-commerce and online marketing, we can support you with all topics relating to your own online shop. This gives you the opportunity to take part in this billion-dollar market.
We know how opaque getting started in online business can be. Hundreds of shop system providers flood the market. That’s exactly why we help you find and select the right e-commerce system for your project. Regardless of whether it is Shopify, WooCommerce or Shopware, we have already gained years of experience with all of these and other well-known shop systems.
We will be happy to advise you on the detailed planning and conception of your shop presence and provide you with a draft. Optionally, during this step we also take your marketing wishes directly into account, including a strategy for the basic search engine optimization of your shop. Our experienced programmers will take care of the implementation and fine-tuning of your personal e-commerce presence.

WooCommerce claims to be “the most customizable eCommerce platform.” If you already run a WordPress website, this system is probably right for you. WooCommerce is one of the best-known plugins for the open source CMS system WordPress.
If you want to operate a shop from Germany or USA, there are now sophisticated plugins such as German Market that make your shop legally compliant in these countries. Bobardt Enterprises Inc. would also be happy to recommend the system to you, as there is now a large US community that is constantly developing WooCommerce.

Websites/Landing Pages
In addition to the classic online shops, we also offer you suitable websites and landing pages. Are you selling a brand new product in your shop and want to create the right page for your Adwords or Facebook campaign? No problem. We take care of the process for you.
In the first step, we develop a draft for you, which we then further optimize. Landing pages can also be easily implemented and integrated within one of the shop systems we offer. We particularly recommend this approach for product innovations that need to be advertised separately.
Ads / Marketing Automation
Your online shop is up and running, the products are listed and the landing pages are online? Fabulous! Then all you have to do now is bring visitors to your website. An online shop without visitors does not generate any customers. Accordingly, we offer you the option of accompanying your e-commerce presence with ads that are suitable for your offer.
Thanks to automated advertising processes, we reach your target group on the channels they are already on. Our experience and expertise in online marketing will make your target group aware of you and your offer. Finally, we use a variety of touchpoints to ensure that your customers can’t get you out of their minds and become loyal buyers and repeat buyers.
Process: This is how we build your online shop with Bobardt Enterprises Guarantee
We build your online shop! From selecting the right e-commerce system to developing a profitable online marketing strategy to the actual implementation of the web shop. Below we have briefly described the process for how we approach the topic.
1. Choosing the e-commerce system that’s right for you
In the first step, we select the right e-commerce system for your project together. To do this, you should give us your rough ideas. Do you want to implement a B2C or B2B shop? How big is your company or the company for which you would like to commission the e-commerce project?
We offer advice and implementation for a variety of shop systems. Including, among other things
Shopify
Shopware
WooCommerce
Magento
TYPO3
JTL
Gambio
2. Planning and conception of the shop based on your needs
As soon as we have agreed on a suitable shop system, we will go into more detail. Now comes the planning and conception phase based on your needs. Approximately how many products will be released in the store? According to which categories are the products sorted? Does the shop need to be divided into several sectors or industries?
Design also plays a crucial role in this phase. What should the shop look like? Are there any requirements from a parent company or does a corporate identity (CI) already exist? In order not to be lost in the multitude of options, we are happy to provide you with advice. We ask a few questions about your needs to get an initial feel for what the shop could look like.
Finally, additional functions are also important at this point. Do you want specific extensions for your e-commerce? Should the site have special features you prefer? Which currencies should be taken into account and in which languages should the shop be available?
3. Development of the draft
Once all these questions have been clarified, we continue with the development of the first draft. In the draft we implement your needs as part of an initial proposal. This contains the complete structure of your e-commerce project, as well as the most important pages of the shop. Design elements and visual extensions are also taken into account.
Of course, the draft is not final and can then be adjusted and further optimized as part of a feedback loop. At the end of this feedback process, the shop should meet your satisfaction so that we can finally implement it.
4. Optional: Setting up an SEO and online marketing strategy
Have you decided on a new online shop, but don’t yet know how to make it visible? An online marketing strategy can help! We would be happy to advise you on how to attract the right, wealthy people to your online shop.
We believe that basic search engine optimization (SEO) makes sense in almost all cases.
Measures that go beyond this can be used if additional visibility and findability do not yet exist. We recommend Google Adwords, Social Media Ads or building a long-term content marketing strategy.
5.Construction and implementation of the online shop with the chosen system
All questions have been answered and you like the design? Perfect! Then the heroes can now take action and start the final implementation. In the last step, we will now make sure that the shop within the selected shop system looks the way you imagine it. Afterwards, your e-commerce project is finally ready for a successful launch!
Frequently Asked Questions on the topic
E-Commerce Agency
Which companies can benefit from an online shop?
In principle, all companies that sell a physical or digital product can benefit from an online shop. There are no limits at the product level. Whether you offer a portfolio of just 10 products, or an entire wholesale business with 100,000 individual products, e-commerce definitely offers you opportunities to build or expand your business online.
What specific tasks does the Bobardt Enterprises Inc. e-commerce agency take on?
As an agency for e-commerce and online marketing, the experienced team at Bobardt Enterprises Inc. is happy to take over the entire process surrounding your online shop. We are at your side, starting with selecting a suitable store system for your e-commerce project, through developing a suitable concept for strategy and marketing, right through to completion with the upcoming launch.
What are the differences in e-commerce between B2B and B2C?
B2B e-commerce projects are usually more extensive and more expensive than B2C projects. This is primarily because B2B products are often expensive capital goods or very customizable products. These require different handling than the simpler B2C products, which can often be sold and traded in large quantities.
In addition, there are sometimes so-called closed online shops for B2B products. In these cases, a special shop system is required as well as specially tailored marketing strategies because many of the store’s pages cannot be accessed directly via common search engines.
As a rule, B2C e-commerce projects run through the classic open online shops that you are familiar with, for example from Amazon and Co.
What prices should you expect from an E-commerce agency?
The conception and construction of a large e-commerce project is not entirely cheap. However, since the specifications for a shop are just as individual as the products in it, we cannot make any general statements about prices here.
We would be happy to advise you personally and put together an offer for you. In addition to the costs that we as an agency bear for planning, conception and implementation, there are also software costs for some shop systems. These vary greatly depending on the shop system. While Magento works with a costly one-time payment, Shopify and Shopware charge the user monthly fees as part of a subscription model.
How will the online shop be visible after completion?
Have you planned, designed and implemented an online shop? Excellent! Now all you have to do is make it visible to your target group. We would be happy to support you with the help of our years of knowledge in online marketing. We will find the right strategy for your project. Whether search engine optimization, social media ads or content marketing. To make your shop visible, we use a wide range of measures.
