Scaling organic visibility for RedLetterDays
**Client Challenge**
Smartbox sought a partner to help them achieve organic growth and enhance brand visibility for Buyagift and Red Letter Days.
**Solution**
We developed an organically driven strategy focused on commercial potential. We pinpointed significant opportunities within Smartbox’s product range, emphasizing specific subcategories that could yield substantial value increases. Our correlation analysis revealed a direct relationship between relevance and visibility. Additionally, our proprietary tool, Salient, indicated that key commercial terms associated with 'adventure', 'experiences', 'spa', and 'birthday gifting' had low link relevance. Our public relations campaigns were designed to leverage these insights effectively.
**Always-On Press Office**
We conducted daily media monitoring to uncover opportunities to position Buyagift and Red Letter Days as industry authorities, subsequently generating media coverage and backlinks.
**Micro Campaigns**
We launched various micro-campaigns targeting essential commercial terms, key regional markets, and seasonal sales trends. For instance, we utilized annual booking data from Red Letter Days to create the Adrenaline Adventure Guide, highlighting the top summer travel destinations.
**Hero Campaigns**
We implemented two major campaigns aimed at our top priority terms for each brand.
**Results**
We secured 871 pieces of coverage with 853 backlinks, featuring in prominent publications such as Mail Online, Metro, Mental Floss, Time Out, Hello, and Yahoo. There was a 170% boost in relevancy scores for ‘spa’ keywords, accompanied by a 27% increase in organic traffic and a 14.3% rise in revenue, as well as a 57% revenue growth for birthday-related terms.
