How to find ecommerce founders and brand owners

Search founder, CEO, head of ecommerce and head of growth titles at online stores and direct-to-consumer brands. Under about 20 employees the founder decides. Above that, the head of ecommerce or growth owns the budget.

What Buzz does with that
  • Finds the owners and decision makers
  • Reads what each company does, beyond its industry code
  • Shows why each person fits before you spend a contact
  • On paid plans, writes the emails and sends them once you approve

How do you build this list?

  1. Describe the people in one sentence. On Starter and above, search "founders and heads of ecommerce at direct-to-consumer brands with 11 to 500 employees". Buzz matches titles by meaning, so Head of Digital, Director, Online and VP Ecommerce all come back. On Free, use the filters in the table below.
  2. Use the right titles. Founder, CEO, head of ecommerce, director of ecommerce, VP of digital, head of growth, retention or lifecycle manager.
  3. Set the company size. 1 to 50 for founder-led brands. 51 to 500 for brands with a dedicated ecommerce team.
  4. Choose the channel. Email. These buyers read it and respond to specifics about their own store. Scrub numbers against the National Do-Not-Call Registry and your own do-not-call list before calling or texting.
  5. Save, reveal and reach out. Save the list and reveal only the people you will contact. Each reveal uses one contact from your monthly allowance. Export a spreadsheet, or on a paid plan have Buzz write the emails and send them through Buzz Send once you approve.

What should you watch for?

Look at the store before you write. Pricing, reviews, shipping and this week's promotion are all public, and a specific line about them beats any template.

Common questions

Can I filter by ecommerce platform?

No. Platform is not a Buzzlist field. Use category, size and title.

Are marketplace sellers included?

Sellers with a registered business and staff usually are. Very small marketplace-only sellers often are not.

Who buys marketing tools?

Head of growth or retention in larger brands, the founder in small ones.
