I co-built HearGift from zero to $1.5M in sales in 18 months. As a small hearing aid company in a sea of giants, we had to put our most creative hats on to bootstrap the company and gain a loyal client base. Aside from leveraging Facebook advertising and email marketing to generate sales, what we are most proud of is the ability to build a trustworthy and transparent company, with owners who were not afraid to be on camera, offer transparency and candid engagement with our customers. With this, we have a built a reputation of one of the most caring hearing aid companies in the world, changing thousands of lives. Our over 300 5-star reviews show that and it's one of our greatest achievements.

Key achievements:

• $1.27m in sales in the first 18 months, with an advertising spend of $428,302 (Facebook)
• $233,473 in sales with an advertising spend of $32,675 (Google)
• return customer rate of 10% (hearing aids are usually a one-time purchase)
• over 200 - 5 star reviews, dozens of video testimonials

They had a niche audience of walkers, people working on nearby projects and people visiting the nearby hospital.

Sennheiser had a small marketing budget as their online store in Asia was just built with Singapore as their test market. The challenge ahead was to help scale their online revenue through growth marketing.
