The Challenge Faced by Mattress Time
When Mattress Time approached us at The Search Equation, they were in a bit of a pickle. Sales had been stagnant since Covid, and their online presence was disappointing. The mattress market is competitive, and standing out in the crowd is no easy feat. They needed a fresh strategy to drive sales and put their brand on the map.
Our Initial Assessment
First things first, we had to understand Mattress Time inside out. We looked at their current online campaigns, social media presence, and customer demographics. Their website was outdated, their social media was underutilised, and they weren’t targeting the right audience. It was clear – we had to start from scratch.
Crafting a Winning Strategy
We decided to focus on three main areas: website overhaul, targeted advertising, and social media engagement. These were the pillars that would support our strategy and help Mattress Time thrive.
Revamping the Website
A user-friendly website is crucial. We redesigned Mattress Time’s website to be more engaging and easy to navigate. Clean lines, clear call-to-action buttons, and compelling content were the order of the day. We ensured the site was mobile-friendly, as more and more customers shop on their phones.
We didn’t stop at aesthetics. Speed and functionality were also key. We optimised the website’s load time, ensuring a seamless user experience. We integrated a customer review section, so potential buyers could see real feedback. We also ensured the checkout process was as smooth as possible, reducing cart abandonment rates.
Targeted Advertising
We knew that reaching the right audience was vital. We created detailed customer profiles based on Mattress Time’s ideal buyers. Using these profiles, we ran targeted ads on Google and social media platforms. Each ad was crafted to appeal to specific demographics, ensuring that our message resonated with the people most likely to buy.
Our ads were designed to be compelling, with clear and concise messages. We used high-quality images and videos to showcase the comfort and quality of Mattress Time’s products. We also utilised retargeting strategies to reach customers who had visited the website but hadn’t made a purchase.
Engaging Social Media Content
Social media is a powerful tool, but it was vastly underused by Mattress Time. We took over their social media channels, posting regular updates, engaging content, and promotions. We used eye-catching images and videos to grab attention and keep followers interested.
We ran contests and giveaways to boost engagement and attract more followers. We also created a series of informative posts about the importance of a good night’s sleep and how Mattress Time’s products could help. We made sure to respond to comments and messages promptly, building a strong rapport with the audience.
The Power of Reviews
Positive reviews can make a world of difference. We encouraged happy customers to leave reviews on Mattress Time’s website and social media pages. We also reached out to influencers in the home and lifestyle niches to review their mattresses. These reviews added credibility and attracted more traffic to the website.
We didn’t just wait for reviews to come in. We actively followed up with customers after their purchase, asking for feedback and offering incentives for leaving reviews. This proactive approach helped us gather more positive reviews in a shorter period.
Tracking and Optimising
Our job didn’t end with launching the campaigns. We continuously tracked the performance of our ads and social media posts. Using this data, we made necessary adjustments to maximise their effectiveness. We A/B tested different ad copy, images, and strategies to find out what worked best.
We also tracked the performance of the new website features, ensuring they were contributing to an improved user experience and higher conversion rates. We adjusted our strategies based on the data, always looking for ways to improve.
Seeing Results
The results were nothing short of spectacular. Within six months, Mattress Time’s online sales had increased by 200%. Their website traffic doubled, and their social media engagement soared. The targeted ads brought in high-quality leads, and the positive reviews boosted their credibility.
The increased engagement on social media not only drove more traffic to the website but also built a loyal community around the brand. Customers were more likely to recommend Mattress Time to their friends and family, further boosting sales.
