Digital strategy resulted in more online sales and a lower price per conversion

As a consequence of a much busier schedule for physical education teachers (as well as many others), A-Sport, which supplies gymnasiums, institutions, and schools with products for training and exercise, needs to be present when the target audience has the time. The solution to this was a digital strategy with a focus on, for example, Google Ads and content, and the result was an increased turnover on their webshop.

After the first year with the implemented strategy, we could measure:

49%

more visitors on the website

65%

increase in sales via the webshop

-92%

CPC (Cost Per Conversion) via Google Ads

A-Sport's challenge 

A-Sport has for many years used salesmen who, among other things, visited schools, sports associations, and institutions in person, where they had meetings with PE teachers, coaches etc.

However, the busy schedules for physical educators required that A-Sport could present their many products and services to their target audiences at the exact moment when they had the time and energy to hear about them - this being almost impossible to obtain with classic salesmen.

Thus, A-sport needed to digitise a large part of the business so that it would fit into the life of the modern PE teacher.

Our solution

The solution was digital. A digital strategy that involved Google Ads, Facebook Ads, SEO, email marketing, and content marketing.

First of all, we advised A-Sport to be present when and where the target audiences search for their products. Therefore, we focused on Google Ads, so that A-Sport would be introduced when possible customers googled the product types that A-Sport offer. We also did a keyword analysis and advised them on how to best work with SEO to get organic traffic to their website. Lastly, Facebook Ads helped drive traffic to the website as well.

With more than 15.000 products and 20 years of experience, A-Sport already had a tonne of content. Our job was to put the pieces together so that the content could be used in the best possible way.

In order to reach all A-Sport’s potential leads and make them warm, we created a tactic for their email marketing: lead nurturing and event-specific mailflows, for example in connection with Black Friday.

Everything was put in relation to a long-term plan, where quarterly strategy meetings with A-Sports own marketing team should not only create sales here and now, but instead increase revenue in the long run. 

The solution in brief:

  • Digital marketing strategy
  • Configuration of Google Ads
  • Facebook Ads
  • Keyword analysis and SEO counselling
  • Setting up email marketing flows for lead nurturing etc.
  • Organising content marketing

The result

The efforts resulted in a large increase in online sales the first year. 65% more online sales to be precise. Furthermore, we saw a rise in the number of website visits, and the price per conversion decreased by 92%. 

I have always felt that A-Sport is in safe hands with Itch Marketing. When we reach out to Itch with challenges or new campaigns we want to make, we always receive professional feedback, honest guidance, and good advice. This is very important to us - and often we end up with a solution we hadn’t thought of ourselves. Itch Marketing is an agency that takes ownership and responsibility for our digital, strategic planning. Their commitment for and understanding of A-Sport means that we together are able to grow our brand optimally.
