I spent 18 months writing business blogs and downloadable guides for a leading ecommerce consultancy and website development agency, Space 48, outlining the latest retail trends and expert ecommerce strategies.
The world of retail is changing and ecommerce is becoming more crucial than ever. Many High Street retailers continue to struggle in a fast-evolving digital landscape, heavily influenced by advancing technology, social media and changing consumer behaviours.
It’s a tough balancing act for merchants to juggle, maintaining a high-performing online store with a healthy footfall in physical stores, made harder by the increased competition from online retailers and the success pureplay ecommerce businesses.
Content writing services for ecommerce
I created and published approximately 100 ecommerce blogs and retail strategy guides for the UX website development specialists.
This content writing was part of an ongoing content marketing strategy, and covered some of the following topics:
- Ecommerce platform strategy and optimisation
- Tools and technology to enhance ecommerce strategies
- UX design tactics
- Key marketing channels for retailers
- Conversion rate optimsation tips and tactics
- Personalisation and marketing automation
- Ecommerce industry events
- Performance measurement, ecommerce KPIs and testing
- Data analytics
- User journey and customer experience
In addition to ecommerce strategy blogs and how-to guides, I created email marketing copy and campaigns, set-up and promoted ecommerce webinars, and edited various website content.
So, I have a great experience in planning and writing ecommerce content and creating inbound marketing campaigns, aimed at helping retailers improve their ecommerce strategies and websites, whilst driving new leads for the consultancy.
Here are some examples of the content writing services I provided for Space 48:

SEO is evolving. Search behaviours have changed and online search is becoming more conversational, partly due to the influence of voice search and the sophistication of Google’s (and other research engines’) capabilities. This has caused the rise of content pillars, topic clusters and skyscraper blog content.
Here is a content pillar page I created, based around top ecommerce strategies:
Content offer/resources downloads page
I created the content for the ecommerce consultancy’s inbound marketing lead magnets, such as guides, checklists and other downloadable online resources. These lead magnets are featured here:

GDPR debrief blog for retailers
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was a hot topic in 2018 and a big concern for marketers and businesses. In my role as an inbound marketing strategist for the client, I helped the consultancy implement the processes required to become GDPR compliant.
I also created blogs and other inbound content, offering advice to retailers to get prepared for GDPR. Below is a debrief blog I wrote about how retailers coped in the build-up to the data compliance deadline and the different approaches that brands took. Here’s a screenshot below:
