Transition from B2B to D2C eCommerce Brand
How we helped AMOCC build a D2C eCommerce engine from scratch—without seed data or historical benchmarks—using a stacked KPI approach.
How do we transition from B2B to D2C—using eCommerce as the main channel?
A Japanese furniture manufacturer with strong wholesale distribution needed to build a consumer brand and eCommerce revenue stream. The challenge: no first‑party seed data and no past D2C benchmarks.
Build awareness, then prove performance by stacking KPIs through the funnel.
Use Facebook/Instagram and Google to drive high-intent traffic, tag the site thoroughly, and measure performance at each funnel stage. Each stage KPI creates signal—even before purchase volume is meaningful.
A KPI Stack That Made Optimization Possible Without Initial Sales Data
Stacked KPIs are a practical way to grow eCommerce when you have no seed data: start by optimizing to reliable proxies (users and engaged sessions), then graduate to higher-intent actions (add‑to‑cart, checkout), and finally optimize to transactions once purchase volume is stable.

Weekly report (example)
This is an example of a report from early right after launch, when we optimize first for awareness and consideration KPIs before there is enough sales volume to learn from. These early-stage KPIs act as proxies and predictors of future sales—then we ladder up to higher-intent actions and, ultimately, transactions as first-party data accumulates.
