Objective

The primary objective was to address The Hidden Door Store’s challenges—declining organic traffic, decreased purchases, and rising competition—through an overarching, end-to-end strategy. We provided a wide range of services, including a full website redesign, SEO and PPC optimization, marketing automation, content creation, and much more to optimize each stage of their customer journey. By improving conversion rates, increasing ad efficiency, and streamlining operations, we aimed to transform their e-commerce business into a revenue-generating engine and drive sustainable growth.

END-TO-END OPTIMIZATION

You're Only as Strong as Your Weakest Link

Understanding that a successful e-commerce strategy is only as strong as its weakest link, our approach was holistic. We focused on optimizing every aspect of the customer journey, from the initial website interaction to the final purchase, ensuring that each touchpoint was perfectly aligned to drive maximum value.

Key Takeaways:

  • New Website Development: We redesigned the HDS website to create a seamless user experience, reducing friction and improving conversion rates. The new site was also optimized for better performance in organic and paid search.
  • Marketing Automation: Implementing cutting-edge automation tools allowed us to streamline processes, ensuring that no sales opportunity was missed and that follow-up was timely and effective.

STRATEGIC GROWTH THROUGH INSIGHTS

Turning Data into Dollars

Our strategy was guided by data at every step. By closely analyzing performance metrics, market trends, and customer behavior, we crafted targeted strategies that not only addressed HDS’s immediate challenges but also laid the groundwork for sustainable long-term growth.

Key Takeaways:

  • Content & Media Production: We boosted HDS’s content strategy with high-quality video and photography, amplifying their reach and engagement across all channels—search, social media, and email marketing.
  • Paid and Organic Search Improvement: By refining PPC campaigns and enhancing SEO efforts, we reversed declines in both areas, leading to improved visibility and a significant increase in ROAS.

Having worked with several different marketing firms over the years we were a skeptical client because the other firms always made us feel like a number. But TruNorth is different.

We think of them as partners, not vendors, and we would strongly recommend them to anyone.
