A nutritional supplement company, based out of Austin, Texas, specializes in the selling of highly nutritional health supplements that provide a variety of benefits. A majority of their business is done online via an eCommerce storefront. In June of 2021, they connected with our team at MHP/Team SI to help them grow their business, reach a wider audience, and lower their ad spend. We immediately went to work to optimize their digital marketing budget and increase sales. Our goals in the first 90 days were to reduce the total ad spend and lower the cost per order.
Our Client: An Overview
Understanding who our client is, and what they’re about, is the key to helping them grow their business. As stated earlier, they are an e-commerce company specializing in high-quality nutritional supplements. The Austin, Texas-based company was founded over 30 years ago with a mission to provide consumers with the highest quality nutritional supplements, using only the purest ingredients.
Previously, the company leaned heavily on radio programming and its loyal customer base to drive business. Those factors skewed to a more mature demographic. Understanding that for future growth, and that they must start reaching a more diverse audience, they began the search for someone to help them create a strong digital marketing program that would be a key element to the company’s success.
The First 90 Days Evaluation:
Within the first 90 days of working together, our team was able to reduce the company’s total ad spend by 50%, as well as decrease the cost per order from nearly $100 to only $43. Additionally, by focusing on high-performing digital marketing tactics, we were able to increase their conversion rate year over year from 0.67% in 2020 to 3.69% in 2021. Their KPI’s (key performance indicators) continue to improve year over year as our team optimizes campaign targeting.
Something that we made sure to be upfront about in our dealings with the nutritional supplement company, is that having a bigger ad budget does not equate to an increase on their ROI (Return on Investment). It’s only by using a smarter budget that an increase in ROI occurs. And that was the expertise that we brought to the table: smarter investments.
We decreased their budget while optimizing their ads to increase their clicks by 34.3% and decreasing their CPC (cost per click) by 24.4%. They were paying significantly less money to reach a wider audience of people. And that wider audience, in turn, increased their eCommerce conversion rate by 101.6%.
This is What We Do
We were, and are, honored that the nutritional supplement company chose MHP/Team SI to help grow their advertising in an innovative and smart way. Simply put, it’s what we do. If you have any questions or inquiries, feel free to reach out to us.
