# Rare-Media > Rare-Media (Applixis LLC DBA Rare-Media) is a marketing and customer growth agency based in Wentzville, Missouri (St. Louis metro). We help retailers, ecommerce stores and service businesses sell more and book more work by connecting advertising, local SEO, Shopify and WordPress websites, social media, and automated customer follow-up into one strategy. Rare-Media works with businesses nationwide, with deep local experience in the St. Louis and Kansas City metro areas. Our core belief: getting the lead is only part of the job. Growth also depends on a useful website, a fast response, a clear offer, and follow-up that keeps the conversation moving. ## Who we help - **Retailers & ecommerce:** Shopify stores, POS retailers, and showroom businesses (for example, appliance retailers) that need online interest to turn into online and in-store sales. - **Service businesses:** home services, appointment-based businesses (medspas, salons, chiropractors, dentists), and home improvement companies that need more qualified leads and more booked jobs. ## Services - **Demand & discovery:** Google Ads, search advertising, local SEO, Google Business Profile and Maps visibility, and Facebook & Instagram campaigns that reach people ready to buy. - **Retail & ecommerce growth:** Shopify setup and improvements, product and collection SEO, Google Shopping and Merchant Center feeds, retargeting, and POS-aware retail marketing. - **Lead conversion & recovery:** fast response, missed-call text-back, AI-assisted responses, qualification, scheduling, and consistent follow-up so fewer leads slip away. - **Customer retention & reputation:** post-purchase follow-up, email offers, review requests, and customer reactivation. - **Websites:** WordPress and Shopify design and improvements built to convert visitors into customers. ## How we work 1. **Find the growth bottleneck:** understand the business, current systems, and where customers are being lost. 2. **Put the right pieces to work:** choose individual services or a complete solution based on the goal. 3. **Measure, learn, adjust:** track the outcomes that matter (sales, qualified inquiries, booked jobs, repeat purchases, customer acquisition cost) and improve over time. ## Frequently asked questions - **Can you work with our existing website and systems?** Yes. We start with what you already use, improve existing Shopify or WordPress sites, and connect customer workflows where integrations are available. A rebuild is recommended only when it supports your goals. - **Do you offer individual services or a complete solution?** Both. A focused need might call for SEO, advertising, social media management, or Shopify improvements; a broader growth challenge may need those services working alongside customer follow-up and sales processes. - **How do you measure success?** We agree on the outcome that matters to your business and use the data your systems can reliably provide, identifying tracking gaps before drawing conclusions. - **How do automated customer messages work?** Workflows are designed around the customer journey and your team's responsibilities. Email, consent-based SMS, AI assistance, and appointment reminders support the process, configured around applicable consent and registration requirements. ## Key pages - [Home](https://rare-media.com/): Overview of Rare-Media's marketing and customer growth services for retailers and service businesses. - [Solutions](https://rare-media.com/#solutions): Demand & discovery, retail & ecommerce growth, lead conversion & recovery, and customer retention & reputation. - [Retail & ecommerce](https://rare-media.com/#retail): How we help shoppers move from product discovery to the next purchase. - [Service businesses](https://rare-media.com/#services): How we help service businesses get more value from the leads they already get. - [Our approach](https://rare-media.com/#approach): Our three-step process. - [Contact](https://rare-media.com/#contact): Start a conversation about your growth goals. ## Contact - Business: Rare-Media (Applixis LLC DBA Rare-Media) - Location: Wentzville, MO 63385, USA - Email: experts@rare-media.com - Phone: (636) 388-8184 - Website: https://rare-media.com/ ## Optional - [Privacy Policy](https://rare-media.com/privacy-policy/) - [Terms of Service](https://rare-media.com/terms-of-service/)
