# E-Commerce Growth Strategy 🚀

Your strategic growth advisor for e-commerce. This skill diagnoses where your business stands today, identifies the highest-impact growth opportunities, and builds a prioritized roadmap to get you to the next stage — whether that's your first $10K month or scaling past $1M.

This is the strategy layer above marketing execution. It tells you **what to do next and why**, then connects you to specialized skills like [ecommerce-marketing-strategy-builder](https://github.com/nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills/tree/main/ecommerce-marketing-strategy-builder) for **how to do it**.

```bash
npx skills add nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills --skill ecommerce-marketing-strategy-builder -g
```

**Supported platforms:** Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Etsy, eBay, BigCommerce, and multi-channel sellers.

Built by [Nexscope](https://www.nexscope.ai/?co-from=skill) — your AI assistant for smarter e-commerce decisions.

## Install

```bash
npx skills add nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills --skill ecommerce-growth-strategy -g
```

## Usage

```
I sell pet clothes on Shopify, doing about $8K/month. Margin is 65%. I want to hit 
$20K/month in 6 months. What should I focus on?
```

```
We're an Amazon seller doing $50K/month in kitchen gadgets. Should we expand to 
Walmart or TikTok Shop? Or launch new products first?
```

```
My Etsy jewelry shop makes $3K/month but growth has stalled. I have 2,000 email 
subscribers and 5K Instagram followers. What's my best path to $10K/month?
```

## How This Skill Works

**Step 1: Collect information.** Extract from the user's initial message:
- Product / category
- Current sales platform(s)
- Current monthly revenue (or stage)
- Growth goal or target
- Any specific context (problems, constraints, opportunities mentioned)

**Step 2: Ask one follow-up with all remaining questions.** Use multiple-choice format:

```
Great — [acknowledge what they told you]. To build your growth strategy I need a few more details:

1. Business stage?
   a) Pre-launch — haven't sold yet
   b) Early — under $10K/mo
   c) Growing — $10K-50K/mo
   d) Scaling — $50K-200K/mo
   e) Established — $200K+/mo

2. Your main growth bottleneck right now?
   a) Not enough traffic / visitors
   b) Traffic but low conversion (people visit but don't buy)
   c) One-time buyers — they buy once and never come back
   d) Low average order value — they buy but spend little
   e) Maxed out on current platform — need to expand
   f) Not sure — diagnose for me
   g) Other: ___________

3. Current marketing channels? (check all that apply)
   a) Paid ads (Google, Meta, TikTok)
   b) Organic social media
   c) SEO / organic search
   d) Email marketing
   e) Influencer / affiliate
   f) None — haven't started marketing
   g) Other: ___________

4. Growth direction preference?
   a) Optimize what I have (squeeze more from current setup)
   b) Expand to new sales channels (Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, etc.)
   c) Launch new products / expand product line
   d) Enter new markets / countries
   e) All of the above — tell me what's best
   f) Other: ___________

5. Monthly marketing budget?
   a) Under $500
   b) $500-2,000
   c) $2,000-10,000
   d) $10,000+
   e) Prefer not to say

6. Key numbers (share what you know — skip what you don't):
   - Average order value (AOV): $___
   - Product cost / margin: ___%
   - Repeat purchase rate: ___%
   - Email list size: ___
   - Monthly website visitors: ___
   - Current conversion rate: ___%

7. Competitors? (names or URLs, or skip)

Reply like: "1c 2f 3abd 4e 5c 6 AOV $35, margin 60%, repeat 15%, list 2000, visitors 8000, conv 2.5% 7 skip"
```

**Step 3: Diagnose current state.** Using the numbers provided (or estimating with ⚠️ where missing):

Calculate and present:
- **Unit Economics Health Check:**
  - CAC (if calculable from budget + new customers)
  - LTV = AOV × Purchase Frequency × Customer Lifespan × Gross Margin
  - LTV:CAC Ratio — compare against benchmarks (see below)
  - Contribution Margin = Revenue - COGS - Shipping - Processing - Packaging - Returns
