Fall is now upon us. The leaves are changing and summer vacation is officially over. There are many transitions in people's lives this time of year, as children head back to school and we get back to work full time. 

Your organization may be going through some transformations as well. In the past year, many businesses have begun or furthered the digital transformation of their organization and its processes. In particular, we've seen many clients transform the customer-facing side of their businesses by building e-commerce capability on their website. This has allowed them to reach more customers than ever before, both in new markets and because of changing consumer behaviour that favours online shopping. 

By using a robust and integrated e-commerce platform like Shopify, our clients have been able to connect their complete tech stack and digitize the buying process - from POS systems, inventory, accounting and even their CRM.  But as we outline below in our latest blog, building a website is just one part of an e-commerce strategy. We guide each client through every aspect to produce the best e-commerce website that drives traffic, converts leads, creates a loyal customer base and looks good too! 

Check out the client work below that showcases two websites we've been working on. And make sure to read our latest blogs for tips on building your own e-commerce strategy and to learn about tech stacks. We'd love to hear more about how we can help you sell more online and create a great customer experience - please give us a call! 

National Food School Program Campaign Assets

Did you know 1 in 3 Canadian children are at risk of going to school hungry? That is almost two million children every single day. This doesn't have to be the reality. The #twomilliontoomany campaign urges Canadians to send a letter to party leaders and demand the implementation of a National School Food Program. 

WILD PR was the client lead on this campaign and worked with us on the creation of campaign creative that included a digital tool kit in French and English, and a website that included easy to use templates and social posts for people to help create awareness for this important issue.
