E-commerce Growth & Marketing Performance Expert
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
Project Title
Performance Marketing & E-commerce Growth Expert (Revenue, Profitability & RTO Reduction Focused)
Project Overview
I operate an e-commerce business and am seeking an experienced Performance Marketing & E-commerce Growth Specialist to scale revenue profitably while significantly reducing RTO (Return to Origin), cancellations, and delivery failures.
This is a KPI-driven engagement, not a traffic or branding exercise. Success will be measured strictly on revenue quality, profitability, order success rate, and repeat customers.
The ideal freelancer will take ownership across paid acquisition, order quality improvement, COD risk control, checkout optimization, and post-order experience, with a strong understanding of Indian e-commerce logistics and consumer behavior.
Long-term collaboration is preferred for the right candidate.
Scope of Work
1. Paid Advertising & Revenue Growth
Plan, execute, and optimize paid campaigns (Meta/Facebook, Instagram, Google if applicable)
Drive high-intent, high-quality traffic, not volume
Optimize for CPA, ROAS, contribution margin, and conversion rate
Scale only profitable campaigns with clear performance justification
Continuous testing of creatives, audiences, and funnels
2. RTO Reduction (Critical Responsibility)
Design and implement COD order verification systems (WhatsApp, SMS, IVR, or call-based strategies)
Identify and reduce fake, unresponsive, and high-risk orders
Optimize COD vs Prepaid mix with clear incentives and friction controls
Implement pincode-level risk profiling and order rules
Improve address accuracy, delivery success rate, and courier performance outcomes
3. Website & Checkout Optimization
Improve checkout flow to reduce fake orders and drop-offs
Optimize trust signals, delivery timelines, and payment messaging
Increase prepaid adoption without harming conversion rate
Reduce cart and checkout abandonment
Run CRO experiments and A/B tests with measurable impact
4. Post-Order & Delivery Experience
Improve order confirmation, tracking, and customer communication
Reduce cancellations caused by delivery delays or lack of clarity
Define SOPs for order confirmation, follow-ups, and failed delivery handling
Align marketing strategy with logistics realities for consistent outcomes
