Background

Through a mutual connection, Jamie of Destination Handmade was introduced to Rianna of Pancake Digital Solutions in Fall of 2019. Jamie had been doing quite well on Etsy and was even featured in a BuzzFeed article, and was now looking for help with Facebook and Instagram posting and advertising.

After

With a few months of organic posting on Facebook and Instgram supported with a simple Facebook ads strategy, the results have started rolling in!

“The pill case sales are going very well. January sales were double over the previous year. My conversion rate went from 1.6 to 2.8.”

Continuing on to March: March Yoy:
– Views are up 541%
– Sales are up 185%
– Revenue is up 94%

Future Steps

Based on this success, the posting strategy will continue with some video and slideshow ads being the most successful. We will continue posting fun travel photos, product videos, and sharing one of the many feature articles the business has been in!
