The challenge

Five-year head starts and a five-month season.

Competitors had a 5 to 10 year head start. The niche is not an impulse buy, so the sales cycle ran longer than average. And the business was highly seasonal, peaking April to August, which made it hard to stay profitable year-round or cover costs in the off-season.

The goal: consistent revenue twelve months a year, and a position as the market leader.

The work

Five phases. One system.

01

Store redesign

Optimized the store for conversion first: layout, navigation and product presentation rebuilt to communicate value, better filtering and browsing, and a checkout flow tightened to cut drop-offs.

02

Creative development

Sold the experience, not the product. Aspirational glamping visuals with first-person angles people could imagine themselves in. An emotional hook competitors and travel options could not match.

03

Demographic testing

Launched Google campaigns across a wide demographic range, testing age, interests and behavior segments. Budget then shifted hard into the segments driving the highest revenue.

04

Scaling and refinement

Scaled aggressively but smartly. Ads stayed live through winter to hold top-of-mind: fewer off-season conversions, but a full funnel of warm leads when spring hit. February exploded while competitors were waking up.

05

Continuous optimization and retargeting

Long-term system: retargeting site visitors, re-engaging past customers with exclusive deals, and email flows guiding people through the longer decision cycle.
