D2C & ecommerce growth in India
Growth marketing for D2C and ecommerce brands in India.
Tilth connects acquisition economics, creative, website conversion, organic discovery and measurement so growth decisions reflect the full customer journey.
The challenge
D2C growth is a system of connected economics.
A campaign can generate purchases and still weaken the business if customer acquisition cost rises faster than contribution, creative fatigue reduces efficiency or the website loses too many high-intent visitors.
Tilth looks at the system around revenue: channel mix, creative learning, landing and product-page experience, average order value, repeat purchase and the measurement required to understand where growth is becoming less efficient.
Economics
Acquisition economics
Media decisions should reflect more than return reported inside an advertising platform. We connect spend with conversion rate, average order value, contribution margin, new versus returning customers and the time it takes for acquisition to become commercially useful.
Creative
Creative testing
Creative is often the fastest-moving variable in D2C growth. Tilth structures testing around product problem, audience, proof, offer, format and call to action so the team learns why a message works instead of only producing more variations.
Conversion
Website and product-page conversion
The path from ad to product page should maintain message continuity and make the next action clear. We review page hierarchy, product information, proof, shipping or returns communication, friction and analytics to identify where intent is being lost.
Organic
SEO and organic discovery
Organic growth can support category discovery, product education, comparison and branded demand. The content system may include collection pages, product pages, commercial guides, technical SEO and internal links that connect research with purchase intent.
Retention
Retention and repeat purchase
Repeat purchase can materially affect acquisition economics. Even when Tilth is not owning the complete retention programme, growth decisions should consider customer cohorts, repurchase patterns, lifecycle communication and the difference between first-order performance and longer-term value.
Measurement
Measurement framework
A useful D2C view can combine spend, sessions, product-page behaviour, add-to-cart, checkout, purchase, average order value, new-customer contribution and repeat purchase. The exact framework should match the business model and available data.
