The Challenge – Boost Online eCommerce Sales

Montezuma’s Chocolate is a British chocolate maker known for its ethically sourced bars, truffles and gifting ranges, with a loyal direct following across the UK and a growing wholesale presence.

The brand had built genuine product love, but the ecommerce site behind it was holding sales back. The front end was difficult to navigate, the back end was painful for the in-house team to run, and the conversion rate was a long way below what the traffic and product range deserved.

Our Goals

Our brief was to give Montezuma’s an ecommerce experience that matched the quality of the chocolate. A storefront customers could browse and check out on without friction, a back end the in-house team could actually run day to day, and a paid media engine that could scale sales profitably across both new customers and remarketing.

We rebuilt the storefront from scratch on Shopify in 6 weeks, mapped to how Montezuma’s buyers actually shop across gifting, treats and wholesale, and took over the Google and Meta accounts so that media spend lined up with the new conversion paths.

A Shopify rebuild in 6 weeks

We took Montezuma’s from a clunky legacy platform to a fresh Shopify build in six weeks. Product structure, navigation and checkout were rebuilt around how customers actually shop the range, with a back end the in-house team can run themselves: SKU updates, promotions and shipping changes no longer need a developer in the loop.

Paid media built around product margin

With the new site live we restructured the Google and Meta accounts to push budget into the campaigns that paid back. Google Ads has settled into a 7.5×+ ROAS run rate. Meta is delivering above 3× blended on prospecting and over 6× on remarketing, with creative and audience refreshes timed to the brand’s gifting calendar.
