Ecommerce In a Physical-First Market

The farm equipment space has historically relied on in-person sales tactics to drive revenue, with many marketing efforts focused on driving in-dealership foot traffic or quote requests. We worked with our partner of 15 years to develop one of the first comprehensive ecommerce websites and frameworks in the industry.

The Challenge

Ecommerce is not just about a website - it requires an incredible amount of back-end logistics work. From choosing a shipping carrier to building a fulfillment center, understanding all that is involved in ecommerce is both challenging and strenuous. Not only that, but we also needed to develop new ways of advertising and messaging based on consumers’ new ability to purchase online.

What We Do

Over the course of two years, our team invested in researching and understanding all of the many requirements in the ecommerce space, developing a comprehensive, first-of-its-kind ecommerce website and assisting our partner in building a framework for fulfillment and advertising.

The Results

The end result of our initiative was a successful launch of our partner’s ecommerce site, coupled with strong sales results over the first two years. Year-over-year during the first 12 months after launch, our client saw a 64% increase in sales growth from their ecommerce website, and in the second year saw 130% increase in online orders, further justifying the implementation of the site.
