Scope of Hep Engagement: Brand Consolidation, Web Build, Search Marketing, Social Media Build, Ongoing social media campaign development, execution and measurement.

Challenge

Genki Bar found that the sales and conversions from the website were low. There was a need to run promotions with PayPal. The team was unable to make changes without a time constraint and high costs. There were no systems in place to ensure wide social media network coverage or accountability for promotions such as email marketing. As Genki Bar promotes athletes, there was a need for updated news, events and a blog.

Solution

Genki Bar needed to take control of their website and be able to quickly and easily make changes as the business evolved. We wanted to take Genki to the next step in the social media sphere and grew fans of Genki Bar on Facebook by over 500% within a month.

Conversion points were created on the website to entice retailers to come on board. In the first two months of the site launch, Genki’s first U.S. retailer contacted them with interest to sell the bars.

An email marketing program was set up to existing customers for a free shipping campaign through the month of August, which generated about $1000 of sales.

A PPC campaign was set up so Genki Bar showed up first for any top keywords. This was complimented with an organic campaign that is moving them up in free search rankings. Website traffic since launch has grown by 40% over the previous three months.

In Summary:

  • Updated look and feel
  • New graphics for BUY buttons
  • Conversion forms set up for Retailers & Consumers alike
  • Newly Implemented PayPal Shopping Cart (with free shipping promotions)
  • Social Media setup
  • Facebook Campaign pages & ads (tripled LIKES within a week, grew by 500% within a month)
  • Twitter set up
  • Youtube Channel created
  • News Resource area on website created for knowledge
  • Events calendar created for athlete events & Genki sponsorships
  • Athlete Blog created
  • Increased Web Traffic by 40% with CPC ads, Facebook ads and Organic optimization.
