In 2008 as the price of gold was starting to rise. The business owner thought there may be an opportunity to develop an add-on to his business for consumers to cash in their gold in his store and online.  There was a small window of opportunity to maximise returns before the large organisations came along and dominated the market.

Phase 1 Implemented - Local marketing and customer acquisition

  • Designed a leaflet to raise awareness of new service with “call to action” to attract customers to store.
  • Created a brochure website to compliment flyers as a point of reference 

Outcome

Approx 30,000 leaflets were delivered via leaflet drop throughout Tayside in 6 months and this resulted in large volume of customers visiting store to sell their jewellery.

Phase 2 Implemented Online marketing and customer acquisition (2 months later) 

  • Pay Per Click advertising strategy to drive customers to site
  • Purchased online banner ads on relevant sites
  • Search Engine Optimisation on website to drive organic searches via the internet
  • Other online marketing efforts to drive traffic and raise awareness of service
  • Created “Backoffice” systems to cope with customer service and support.  This ensured customers had 100% comfort regarding their jewellery when payment was due or jewellery to be returned. This included systems for paperwork from all the customer enquiries, payments made to customers via bacs, managing emails and customer reponses etc
  • Created customer referral club where referees were paid when introducing new customers

    • Outcome - 9 months campaign online resulted in

  • Business purchased jewellery via website from 1,250 customers located all over the UK

  • Within 18 months the client was priced out of the market on Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising and no longer receiving sufficient conversion rates to make the cost of online marketing viable.
