Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the endless stream of tools, tricks, and strategies thrown at you as an eCommerce brand owner? It seems like there’s always something new to try, another platform to master, or a shiny software that promises to revolutionise your business. But what if the secret to success isn’t in doing more, but in doing less?
This idea might seem counterintuitive, especially in a world that glorifies the “hustle and grind” mentality. But let’s take a step back and consider a different approach—one that could transform how you run your business.
The Power of Focus: Lessons from The One Thing
If you haven’t already, I highly recommend reading The One Thing by Gary Keller. It’s a game-changer for anyone looking to streamline their focus and achieve more with less. One line, in particular, stands out:
“Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus".
This quote challenges the idea that success comes from doing more. Instead, it suggests that by narrowing your focus, you can achieve extraordinary results. For eCommerce brand owners, this principle is especially powerful.
Why Focus Is Essential for Your Brand
Mastery and Excellence
When you concentrate on one core area, you dive deep into every nuance, trend, and technique. This level of focus allows you to cultivate a team of experts and benefit from the highest levels of expertise. Instead of spreading yourself too thin across multiple areas, you become a master of one.
Consistent Quality
A dedicated approach means you can perfect your processes, leading to consistently excellent outcomes for your customers. When your attention isn’t divided, you’re able to maintain a high standard of quality across all your efforts.
At Flowstate, we’ve not just seen this principle transform eCommerce brands—we’ve lived it.
Our Journey: The Power of Specialisation
Instead of competing with full-stack agencies that offer every service and marketing channel under the sun, we made a conscious decision to do things differently. By focusing exclusively on email and SMS, we’ve been able to truly specialise, putting all our energy and expertise into one area without distraction.
And the result? Let’s hear it from one of our clients, Cathryn from Sans Beast:
“The team at Flowstate were a delight to deal with. The fact that Flowstate have made their business all about email, versus touching on every marketing pillar, ensures they bring excellence to this channel. Highly recommended.”
Cathryn’s feedback reflects the core of what we believe in: focused excellence.
