The Evolution of E-Commerce Marketing Strategies
Brands are shifting their focus from traditional Facebook and Google ads towards enhancing top-of-funnel awareness, especially in the post-COVID landscape. Many companies are currently overspending at the bottom of the funnel without achieving sustainable growth, indicating an urgent need for strategic adjustment. This situation arises as many brands attempt to maintain revenue levels similar to those achieved during the COVID boom but find themselves facing a drastically altered demand profile. The first step for these brands involves reassessing spending patterns, consolidating marketing efforts, and establishing clear financial boundaries.
