Introduction: From Idea to International in 60 Days
In early 2024, a small fashion brand based in Casablanca came to ESP with a simple dream: to bring their modern, minimalist streetwear to a global audience. They had passion, product, and vision , but lacked the digital infrastructure to scale.
Like many startups in the MENA region, they faced challenges around eCommerce setup, logistics, branding, and marketing automation. Within just three months, ESP helped turn that local idea into an international brand with a working digital business model.
This is their story , and a blueprint for what’s possible when smart tools and clear strategy meet.
The Challenge: No Tech, No Traffic, No Time
The founders had:
- A great product line: locally sourced and sustainably made
- An Instagram following, but no direct sales system
- No branding, no website, no CRM, no shipping structure
They were overwhelmed with choices — Shopify or WooCommerce? Instagram ads or email? International shipping or local first?
Their goal: Sell internationally. Look premium. Stay lean.
The Solution: ESP’s eCommerce Launch Framework
We started by mapping a three-phase process:
Brand → Platform → Scale
Phase 1: Branding & Identity
ESP built a full brand identity in 7 days, including:
- Logo and visual system
- Color palette, typography, and digital mockups
- Brand voice and messaging guide
The result: a modern, minimal aesthetic that matched their product and market.
Phase 2: Platform Setup
We launched their Shopify store with:
- Clean UX-focused design
- Mobile-first optimization
- Payment integrations for international buyers
- Inventory system with local fulfillment options
- SEO-ready structure with product collections and blog
We also created key content:
- A custom landing page for product drops
- Product descriptions using our AI-powered copy system
- Email flows for abandoned carts and welcome series
Phase 3: Scale & Automation
Once the site was live, we activated:
- Google Analytics + Meta Pixel
- Email marketing via Mailchimp
- CRM integration using Odoo + Zapier
- Logistics tracking dashboards with automatic order updates
They now had a system that could handle 100 or 10,000 orders.
The Results: Real Growth, Real Fast
Within 60 days of starting:
- Sales increased by 340%
- 65% of orders came from outside Morocco
- They shipped to 12 countries using a hybrid logistics model
- Customer acquisition cost dropped by 35% through better targeting and retargeting
- They were featured in two fashion blogs and selected for an export incubator program
Most importantly: they went from a passion project to a revenue-generating brand — without hiring a single full-time employee.
Why This Works
ESP’s approach is tailored for lean teams. We combine:
- Practical business strategy
- Proven tech stacks (Shopify, Odoo, Zapier, Canva, etc.)
- AI-powered content workflows
- Local context with global scalability
We don't believe in bloated agencies. We build systems that small brands can actually manage.
