What we see

The problems we are hired to solve.

These are the problems that bring D2C & Retail companies to us, in the order they usually arrive.

  1. 01

    Growth is rented from ad platforms

    The cost of winning each customer rises every quarter. Pause the ads and sales stop the same day.

  2. 02

    Marketplaces own the customer

    On Amazon and Flipkart, the platform owns visibility and the buyer. The brand cannot easily reach those buyers again.

  3. 03

    Search traffic is always next quarter's job

    SEO and content would lower the cost of winning customers over time, but the next paid push always comes first.

  4. 04

    One-time buyers, no second order

    Brands track first purchases closely but not repeat purchases, so they keep buying new customers at full price.

Questions we’re asked.

01We're dependent on paid ads. What's the alternative?
Brand Vibe builds growth you own: visibility on search and marketplaces, a brand people prefer, and your own system for winning customers. Paid ads keep a role, but stop being your only source of sales.
02Can you improve our marketplace (Amazon/Flipkart) performance?
Yes. Brand Vibe has built a live traffic and SEO system for a D2C clothing brand. We work on marketplace visibility, listings and search, which lower the cost of winning customers.
03How do you improve repeat purchase?
By measuring and planning for it. Brand Vibe builds repeat purchase and retention into the growth system, so each customer is worth more over time.
04What size of D2C or retail brand do you work with?
Mid-sized D2C and retail brands whose product sells but who have hit the limit of paid ads. Projects have a fixed scope and are handed over to your team.
