Case overview
Shoppia, an online store offering a wide range of cutting-edge electronics at competitive prices, faced the challenge of standing out in a crowded and highly competitive e-commerce tech market. Despite a diverse product catalog catering to gamers, creators, and music lovers, Shoppia struggled with brand visibility, attracting consistent qualified traffic, and converting browsers into buyers.
