Comprehensive Marketing and E-commerce Strategy Boosts NCBI’s Online Business

NCBI is the second biggest charity shop chain in Ireland and the UK with over 130 shops. Every time you shop with NCBI you are helping the 54,000 people living with sight loss.

The challenge

One of the primary challenges faced by NCBI was striking a delicate balance between promoting their charitable cause and driving product sales. As a non-profit organization, their main objective was to raise awareness and support for their cause, while simultaneously generating revenue through product sales to sustain their charitable activities. This dual-focus presented a unique challenge, as the marketing strategy needed to effectively address both aspects without one overshadowing the other.

“NCBI worked with CSM agency as part of the Enterprise Ireland grant to assist our retail arm of the charity to make the transition to selling online. CSM offered us great expertise in relation to SEO strategy, selling on third party marketplaces and social media marketing. We also worked with their design team to develop creative assets. They were a great addition to the team during a transitional period. Their communication was excellent throughout with quick response times and always available to contact. They have a wide variety of skills and expertise on the team as well as a wide network of business contacts in different industries who are always happy to advise.”
