Independent shops, ecommerce brands, multi-channel retailers. Less reliance on Amazon and eBay, stronger direct ecommerce, social commerce that actually sells.
A few of the many businesses we've worked with, big and small
Same patterns turn up over and over. If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
Marketplace fees plus paid placement plus your competitors one click away. Direct ecommerce is harder up front but the margin is yours.
Most retail clients we audit have weak direct ecommerce: poor product pages, slow site, no email marketing. The fix is methodical and pays back fast.
Instagram and TikTok shops, Pinterest, Facebook Marketplace. Direct sales channels that don't take the marketplace cut. Most retailers haven't set them up.
Christmas and summer drive volume; the rest of the year is too quiet. Email marketing, social media, retargeting, and content strategy fill the gaps.
Retail and ecommerce sit at the heart of what we do. Furniture, fashion, gifts, food and drink, niche product brands. Most retailers we meet are over-dependent on Amazon, weak on direct ecommerce, and missing social commerce opportunities entirely. We rebuild the direct sales engine.

Depends on your size and complexity. We’ll recommend based on what we see, not what gets us the biggest project.
Yes. We can either organise a shoot with a professional or, if you send us some products, we can capture some for you. It’s worth noting we aren’t professional products, but if you are working with a tight budget, we are always happy to help.
Yes. Multi-currency, multi-language, hreflang, country targeting, international shipping rules. We’ve worked on stores selling into UK, EU, US and beyond. Plus our Finnish-language capability is useful for Nordic markets.
We're a boutique, women-led agency in Cheshire, running since 2016. We started because we'd seen too many small businesses burn through agency budgets and end up with a slow site and a stack of invoices.
Retail & ecommerce is one of the sectors we know best. You deal with a senior person who stays on the work start to finish, not an account manager passing messages along.
Real reviews from real clients. No filtering, no pay-to-play.
I just want to say, the guys over at Cheshire Cat Marketing are amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of people to constantly be in contact with. Whether it was checking up on me and my business or being open to listening to my ever changing ideas! Everything in between too! I would recommend them to anyone wanting, social media or anything marketing wise for your business!
I’ve just phoned and spoken to Rhi, who has been absolutely incredible! I phoned to cheekily ask for some advice, as I am fundraising for a charity event. She was incredible, offering advice, guidance and ideas. The support was truly incredible and has allowed me now to hopefully generate more publicity and support for the event I am supporting.I am in awe of her friendly disposition and her generosity of her experience.Her entire demeanour was approachable and supportive and offered a true unique perspective, whilst being situational and economically aware.So pleased, and touched to have had such a wonderful and postive interaction and would encourage anyone to use their services again.
The Cheshire Cat team are fantastic. They really care about understanding your business and doing a great job. Each time they send me some posts to approve I'm always thrilled with the results - and with 20+ years marketing experience, I'm not an easy person to please! We've seen our followers steadily grow whilst we've been working with them - recommended!
