Achieve success with Shopify production! Why you should use a consultant

Why Consulting is Needed

Use your specialized knowledge and skills

One advantage of consulting in Shopify development is that you can utilize specialized knowledge and skills. If you have no knowledge of the EC industry, you will likely operate without a strategy. However, by using consulting, you can take advantage of the deep knowledge and extensive experience of experts.

Specifically, our experts will plan appropriate strategies, propose effective measures, and then carry out and verify them. There are also things that can only be done with Shopify, so we can make the most of them. This allows you to pursue results while incorporating the latest information that would be impossible for your company to reach on your own.

You can focus on your core business

The biggest advantage of using Shopify's consulting is that it allows you to focus on your company's "core business." Many companies operate their e-commerce sites in parallel with other business operations. However, in this situation, it is difficult to fully utilize the expertise required for e-commerce site operation, and the progress of the "core business" is also hindered, making it difficult to achieve results in both business operations.

By entrusting Shopify production to a consultant, you can utilize the specialized knowledge and experience required for operating an e-commerce site, while your own staff can focus on their areas of expertise, that is, their company's "core business." This improves overall operational efficiency and enables you to achieve greater results.

Reduce the time to results

By utilizing Shopify's consulting services, it is possible to shorten the time it takes to increase sales. For an e-commerce site to be successful, it is important to take effective measures to attract customers, gain access, and have them purchase products. However, if you do not have accumulated operational know-how, you will have no choice but to take a method of making improvements as you practice. If you do not have a certain level of knowledge about attracting customers online, it often takes a lot of time and effort, but by utilizing the specialized knowledge and experience of a consultant, you can streamline this process and shorten the time it takes.

Cases where consulting is required

I want to avoid failure in operating an EC site

If you don't have knowledge of the web or EC industry, it will be difficult to get results if you operate without a strategy. Even if you get results, it will be difficult to continue to get good results if you don't know the reason. If you happen to "go viral on SNS", it will be a game of luck with a very low probability.

By utilizing consulting services, you can utilize specialized know-how and skills to develop an appropriate strategy and reduce the risk of failing in operating your EC site. If you don't want to fail in operating your EC site, we recommend that you hire a consultant.

I don’t know how to achieve results

If you are using Shopify to create and operate an e-commerce website, but don't know how to increase sales or what improvements you need to make, we recommend that you use a consultant. The role of a consultant is to show you a concrete path to your desired results. By implementing appropriate strategies and measures, you can get closer to your target results, such as increasing sales.

However, rather than leaving everything to the consultants, it is important to accumulate operational know-how within your company and create a sustainable system. To that end, you should accumulate the knowledge and skills provided by the consultants as your company's assets.

What to do before receiving consulting

Clarify your company's challenges

When developing a Shopify site, it is important to clarify your company's issues before receiving consulting. Identify specific issues such as product sales not growing as expected, high access numbers but no purchases, low repeat purchases, etc.

By reviewing the site from the customer's perspective, rather than just your own, you may be able to discover issues that you hadn't noticed before. Then, by identifying what improvements are needed and consulting with a consultant based on that, you will be able to receive more specific and effective advice.

Check the consultant's track record and response capabilities

When choosing a consultant for Shopify development, it is important to thoroughly check their past performance and ability to respond. This will allow you to find an expert who can propose the best solution for your company.

Specifically, we evaluate past efforts, the problems they have solved, and the results they have achieved. We also evaluate whether they are up to date on the latest information, such as Shopify-specific features and trends.
