The Client
“We more than doubled our web site visitors and sales in 6 months working with GOiMarketing. Their team is efficient and readily available to answer questions and review metrics. Their recommendations for social marketing have not only enhanced our presence across web channels, but increased awareness for our brand.”
– Shelley Goldstein, Revgear Sports
The Challenge
Search Engine Rankings, Web Design
To sum it up: putting Revgear on the “marketing map”. While they arguably build the world’s finest products in one of the fastest growing sports in the world (Mixed Martial Arts), Revgear was largely unknown to the public: to both athletes in the martial arts and fans of martial arts (their two main target audiences).
We also needed to attack this issue on a limited budget that competitors such as TapOut and the UFC enjoyed. Above all, the quality of their products could not be eroded to drive sales at lower costs. With Revgear, craftsmanship and quality come first and then the marketing would support that- never the other way around
