This comfort food company was doing well but recognized the need to retain more of its existing customer base. Strategies such as retargeting on social media are expensive, however. After doing some research and hearing positive remarks from other DIDO clients, they decided to move forward with DIDO’s email marketing to re-engage their customers and develop more long term relationships.

Goodfair is an online recycled clothing retailer focused on reversing the negative effects of consumerism. Unlike ThredUp or a normal thrift store, customers purchase "product categories or bundles" and are sent an eclectic mix of items adding a mystery element to the experience.

Challenges:

• Often sold out of in-demand product categories, making it hard to scale top-performing ads
• Didn't have a consistent stream of new content
• Always had an abundance of low-converting product categories that they wanted to push

Strategies:

• Immediately created evergreen ad content that converted well and was scalable since it wasn't tied to a specific product
• Worked with the client on an influencer outreach plan to build up their asset library—used this content to create eye-catching videos that focused on the styling of the products, while also highlighting Goodfair's mission
• Pitched the client on product-specific influencer outreach initiatives to get more creative (and hopefully higher converting) content featuring the products that were a tougher sell

Give a Home Foundation is a project very close to my heart. With the homelessness issue rapidly increasing in South Africa during the COVID pandemic, myself and my co-founders of the foundation wanted to make a difference. I developed a marketing strategy to help the foundation raise funds for this important cause. "Stay at home the world has been saying... but where do you go when you do not have a home."

HealthyUp's founder had spent a couple of years testing consumer response to the product she had developed for menopause relief by selling primarily on Amazon. Having gathered positive feedback from a few dozen customers, she wanted to launch her own e-commerce business but was a sole proprietor with limited direct-to-consumer experience. She called on me to help her put all the foundational elements in place to position the company for growth.
