How to Find Shopify Store Leads for Your Agency In Minutes

If you're an agency looking to win Shopify clients, or exploring Shopify lead generation as a niche, this guide shows how to build a high‑quality Shopify store leads list that actually converts.

🎯 Step 1: Build a Targeted Shopify Agency Leads List

Instead of buying generic ecommerce lists, use StoreCensus to find real Shopify store leads that match your email services. We started with 1.8M Shopify sites and filtered to those without Klaviyo. That ensures better alignment with your offer.

💰 Step 2: Filter by Revenue and Tech Spend

Narrow further to stores earning at least $50,000/year and spending $500–$1,000/month on tech. That turned a massive lead pool into about 4,000 quality Shopify agency leads, plenty to test messaging.

👕 Step 3: Niching by Vertical

We focused on Fashion & Apparel since those merchants rely most on email. That gave us ~670 ultra‑targeted Shopify lead lists. Quality beats quantity, one good client is enough.

📬 Step 4: Capture Real Contact Info

Out of those leads, 488 stores had usable emails. You can enrich more contacts via LinkedIn or Apollo integration. But even basic public email data can drive results for your cold campaigns.

✅ Step 5: Export & Prep for Outreach

Ensure you export key fields like email and brand name. Reach out directly to one decision-maker per store, not five people from the same team, to keep it personal.

✉️ Step 6: Run an Effective Cold Email Campaign

Use tools like Email Chaser or Instantly to send. Focus on:

• Personalized intros
• Strong value prop
• No links in first emails to avoid spam

You should aim for a 3–5% reply rate. If you're lower, tweak your targeting or copy.

🔁 Step 7: Test, Iterate, Refine

Experiment with other verticals (e.g. wellness, accessories), tweak your firmographics like tech filters, or test new messaging angles. Adjust one variable at a time.
