What Our Clients Say
“Across marketplaces, our products were moving in and out of visibility without a clear reason. Their digital commerce expertise connected digital shelf shifts with pricing, promotions, and shopper response, helping our category team see where competitors were gaining attention and where the brand still had room to grow.”
Head of Marketplace Strategy E-Commerce Brand
“Our top-listed products had strong visibility, but add-to-cart behaviour remained uneven. Market Xcel’s ecommerce expertise revealed how shoppers read PDP images, ratings, delivery promises, and price cues, showing which elements-built confidence and which drove comparison elsewhere.“
Director, E-Commerce Strategy Online Retail Brand
“Our brief had multiple moving parts across shopper segments, platform journeys and category priorities. Market Xcel remained closely involved as our research partner from design through reporting, helping us make sense of a complex study. What stood out was how usable the findings were across teams from category planning to customer experience.”
