“The growth of online gift shop revenues is driven by several main factors, including higher demand for gifts and the growing habit of ordering more and more online. An important role in the increase in sales, by around 30%, is played by technology for identifying the products that generate the highest sales and profit, facilitating their effective promotion. For maximum results, we use the TRUDA platform, the most advanced technology for analysing data and product performance in an online store, to generate higher sales for customers”, says Daniel Slăvenie, CEO & Partner of Limitless Agency.
Along with the increase in income in the gift niche, the marketing costs for online promotion have increased, more precisely the CPC (cost per click) is higher by 30% compared to last year.
Thus, the monthly budgets allocated by companies vary between 1,000 euros and 200,000 euros for promotion through PPC campaigns (Google Shopping Ads, Facebook Ads) and SEO campaigns, with the aim of increasing the number of customers, sales, and the value of the average order, but also increasing brand visibility.
