Challenge: When Sam's Sauce joined us, they had a simple, informational website that did not fully capture their brand’s vibrant personality or their unique offerings. Despite their reputation and loyal customers, they struggled to scale their digital presence, engage effectively with consumers, and navigate the complexities of e-commerce platforms. Additionally, Sam's Sauce was concerned about the potential profitability of these platforms due to hidden fees and high commissions, which they feared could erode their profits.

Solution: Our team at 99Yrs Network LLP crafted a comprehensive digital strategy to help Sam's Sauce overcome these challenges and drive growth across digital channels:

Marketplace Account Management and Advertising:

• We helped Sam's Sauce expand into the e-commerce ecosystem by managing their accounts across multiple marketplaces.

Profitability Strategy with Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ):
