A senior operator running your store, at part-time price.
One operator running your day-to-day — AI-drafted listings, AI-assisted workflow, custom AI tooling when it fits. Equal parts hands-on operator and AI leverage. Month-to-month, no contracts, no junior account managers.
Built and exited a marketplace brand to $20K/mo. Now I run ops for other founders — AI-drafted listings and review replies, AI inside the workflow, custom tooling when it fits. One operator with a team’s throughput.
The wall
Why $500K–$3M brands stall
You’re doing every job.
Founder, copywriter, customer support, PPC manager, analyst. The work expands faster than the day does.
Full-time hires don’t pencil.
A US e-commerce ops manager runs $5,000–6,500/month loaded. Most $500K–$3M brands can’t justify it.
Agencies aren’t built for you.
Most start at $3,500/month, lock you into 6-month contracts, and assign you a junior account manager.
The retainer
What’s in the retainer
Everything below, every month. From $2,000/mo, month-to-month, cancel anytime. Exact number depends on the add-ons that fit your stores — agreed on the demo call.
- 01
AI-assisted listing content
Rolling refresh of 4 Amazon + Shopify product listings per month. Titles, bullets, descriptions, A+ content — AI-drafted, operator-edited, conversion-tuned.
- 02
Review & Q&A management
Daily monitoring across both platforms. AI-drafted replies queued for your one-click approval, compliant with current Amazon policies.
- 03
AI in the workflow
Reporting, anomaly detection, copy variations, competitor scrapes — repetitive ops work runs through AI so you get a team's throughput from one operator.
- 04
Weekly performance snapshot
Sales, conversion, ranking shifts, review sentiment, anomaly flags. Short Loom or doc, no fluff.
- 05
Monthly strategy call
30 minutes, focused on next month's priorities and what to fix.
- 06
Direct access
Slack or email, 24-hour response on business days, Monday through Friday.
Optional add-ons
Pick what you actually need
Add what fits your stores. Most clients pick one or two. Pricing is shaped on the demo call and laid out in the offer I send same day — à la carte, no minimums, no bundles you don’t need.
- Klaviyo email flowsWelcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase, win-back — AI-drafted, operator-edited
- Amazon PPC managementUp to $5K monthly ad spend, AI-tuned bids + search terms
- Supplier & sourcing1688 / Alibaba vetting, negotiation, QC
- Unit economics & P&LFull financial model, margin breakdown, scenarios
- Inventory forecastingReorder alerts before you stock out
- Custom AI toolingInternal dashboards, automations, and AI workflows built for your store — when paying $200/mo for SaaS makes less sense than owning the version that does only what you need
Where AI shows up
Three surfaces, equal weight
AI is not an add-on or a buzzword here. It’s the operating model — content, workflow, and tooling all run through it. That’s how one operator delivers what used to take a team.
- AI Content
Listings, A+, copy
Product titles, bullets, descriptions, A+ content, Klaviyo copy, ad creatives — AI-drafted to brand voice, then operator-edited for conversion. Especially critical on Amazon, where copy is the conversion lever.
- AI Workflow
Throughput multiplier
Review and Q&A replies, weekly reporting, anomaly detection, competitor scrapes, listing variations — repetitive ops work runs through AI so one operator delivers what used to take a four-person team.
- Custom AI Tooling
Software you own
When a $200/mo SaaS does only one thing badly, I build the version that does exactly what you need: custom inventory dashboards, revenue attribution, AI workflows for recurring chores. Optional add-on.
Content + Workflow are included in the base retainer. Custom tooling is an optional add-on when a SaaS subscription doesn’t quite fit your store — scope agreed on the demo call.
Why Sevan Studio
Three things you don’t get from a normal ops agency
Most agencies bill more, do less, and lock you in. Here’s what makes this different — concretely.
- 01
One operator, not five handoffs
No account manager passing tickets to a junior copywriter who emails a PPC contractor. The person on the demo is the person doing the work — every week.
- 02
AI everywhere — content, workflow, tooling
AI-drafted listings, A+ content, and review replies. AI inside the workflow for reporting and anomaly detection. Custom AI tooling when a SaaS subscription doesn't quite fit. Not one feature — woven through the whole engagement.
- 03
Month-to-month, no lock-in
Other agencies want six-month contracts and a setup fee. Sevan Studio is paid in advance for the month ahead, cancel anytime with seven days notice. The work has to earn the next month.
Who does the work
You always talk to the operator
Before this, I founded MOSSA — a women’s accessories brand sold on marketplaces — and scaled it to $20,000/month and top-3 subcategory ranking before executing a clean trademark exit. I’ve handled China sourcing through 1688, marketplace SEO and paid ads, P&L management, customer service, and inventory flow end-to-end. As an operator, not a consultant.
What makes Sevan Studio different is AI woven across every layer of the work — drafting listings and A+ content to your brand voice, generating review and Q&A replies, running the reporting and anomaly checks, and, when a SaaS subscription doesn’t quite fit, shipping the custom dashboard or automation that does (I’m a software developer too). The judgment of an operator who’s run a brand, with the throughput of a small team, at a single retainer price.
I work with founders directly. No account managers, no handoffs, no junior staff. The person you talk to on the intro call is the person doing the work.

30 minutes. I come in having already looked at your stores, so we use the time on what matters most. Camera optional. No slide deck.

Walk-through of your Shopify
Homepage, product pages, copy, conversion friction, reviews, email capture. I share my screen, you share yours.

Walk-through of your Amazon
Listings, A+ content, ratings, Q&A, paid ad performance if you can share access. What's working, what's bleeding.
- 03
3–5 specific mistakes hurting your performance
Called out live with examples — not a generic checklist. You'll walk away with written-down fixes by the end of the call whether you sign or not.
- 04
What I can help with — and what stays with you
AI-assisted listings + A+ content, reviews, Q&A, PPC, Klaviyo flows, supplier work, custom AI tooling when it makes sense. I'm honest about what's not my lane.

- Week 4
Strategy review
Month-end call. Wins, misses, next-month plan. You decide if we keep going.
Honest filter
Not a fit if…
Saves us both time. If any of these are you, I’d rather say so up front than waste a call.
- You sell services, software, or digital downloads — this is for physical product brands only.
- You're under $500K/year — the retainer math doesn't work yet. Reach out again when you've crossed it.
- You're in CBD, weapons, adult, or gambling categories — I don't take regulated verticals.
- You want someone to take orders from a marketing committee — I work directly with founders.
FAQ
Common questions
How do I know this will work for my brand?
You don't, yet — and that's why the first call is no-pressure. Before you commit a dollar, we walk through your stores live on a 30-minute call. You'll hear specific issues hurting your performance and what I'd change in month one. After the call I send a personalized offer; if it's not a fit, I say so plainly.
What if I cancel after one month?
That's fine. The retainer is month-to-month. No contracts, no cancellation fees. If something isn't working, you stop paying. Most clients stay because the work compounds, not because they're locked in.
Do you work with my niche?
Shopify and Amazon brands doing $500K–$3M per year, across most physical-product categories: beauty, supplements, home goods, accessories, pet, kitchen. I don't work with high-regulation categories (CBD, weapons, adult, gambling) or services-only businesses.
How is one person plus AI different from a real agency?
Faster, cheaper, and more direct. A traditional agency runs your account through a junior account manager, a copywriter, a PPC specialist, and a designer — each at 20% attention. I do the work myself; AI drafts the listings and review replies, handles the reporting, and powers any custom tooling you need. You always talk to the person doing the work.
What about timezones?
I'm based in Yerevan, Armenia (GMT+4). I work standard business hours that overlap US East Coast (mornings), UK and EU (full workday), and Canada. Response SLA is 24 hours on business days regardless.
Can you handle Amazon PPC?
Yes, as an add-on for up to $5K monthly ad spend. Larger ad budgets are quoted separately on the demo call.
Where does AI actually show up in the engagement?
Three places, all in the base retainer except the last one. (1) Content — listings, A+ sections, descriptions, Klaviyo and ad copy are AI-drafted to your brand voice, then operator-edited. (2) Workflow — reporting, anomaly detection, review replies, competitor scrapes run through AI so one operator gets a team's throughput. (3) Custom tooling — when a SaaS subscription doesn't quite fit your store, I build the version that does (optional add-on, scope agreed on the demo).
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, a mutual NDA is available on request before the demo call. Standard terms.
What's not included in the retainer?
Anything off-computer: photoshoots, warehouse or 3PL operations, in-person events, phone-based customer support. Also not included: brand identity / logo design, video production, influencer outreach, paid social ads beyond Amazon PPC.
