Case study | Salt & Pepper | Digital Marketing
Plating Up Success
salt&pepper is an iconic Aussie brand with stores nationwide and a huge online presence. Check your kitchen cupboards and we’re pretty confident you’d find something labelled with salt&pepper.
The Challenge
Initially, salt&pepper engaged us to improve their paid presence. They needed ads that converted and gave them a strong return on investment (ROI). Their amazing product range and frequent promotions needed to be shouted about.
Next they wanted this to lead into more organic and content based work. This meant we needed to improve their SEO, working hand in hand with delivering content such as blogs, range copy and product descriptions.
Essentially, it was our job to meet an ongoing agreement to both improve their site and bring the right people to it who ultimately buy from them. Ready to see how we did it?
The Approach
We started with social media advertising and search advertising services, followed and strengthened by SEO and content writing.
We initially began with a focus on Facebook and Google ads. By quickly tapping into both existing and new audiences we established an effective funnel approach that ensured users saw a variety of ad formats, showcasing different ranges and new products.
We wanted to show users content relevant to them, without overloading. This was achieved via all ad types across Facebook and Instagram, as well as Google Shopping, search ads, display remarketing and YouTube ads.
Following an extremely effective first quarter that saw salt&pepper’s overall online revenue triple month on month, they were able to re-invest in an SEO and content strategy. This involved on-page and off-page optimisations and technical work supported by a wealth of blog, product and range copy.
Our input boosted the overall health of the site and quickly increased the organic exposure with added keywords and improved rankings for key segments. We delivered a huge volume of copy with over 1000 product descriptions written in their new quirky, personable tone of voice.
