Challenges.

SWYC was only 90 days from closure. Monthly revenue had dropped to £8,000, with a 1.2% conversion rate against a 2% industry benchmark. Competitors such as Stoney Clover Lane (567K followers) and Lily & Bean (480K followers) were dominating market share.

Without immediate action, a decade-old brand would have disappeared. The challenge was to restore revenue quickly, acquire new customers, improve conversions, and reposition SWYC as a strong competitor, all while showcasing their unique strength in personalisation.

What we did.

We implemented a complete marketing transformation covering strategy development, advertising campaigns, search optimisation, content creation, and website improvements. Each element was designed to reverse decline, rebuild market visibility, and establish sustainable growth.

Marketing Strategy.

We started with detailed competitor analysis, reviewing SWYC against 10+ competitors from small boutiques to major global brands.

Our research revealed untapped opportunities across seven new customer segments including students, men’s gift shoppers, pet-themed products, and key European markets including Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy.

This insight led to a refreshed brand strategy emphasising individuality, inclusivity, creativity, and genuine customer connection. This approach ensured SWYC’s messaging stood out and clearly differentiated them from competitors.

Website Optimisation.

We developed comprehensive website improvement recommendations focusing on e-commerce performance and conversion optimisation. These addressed the gap between SWYC’s 1.2% conversion rate and the industry benchmark of 2%.

Our recommendations included streamlined checkout processes, improved product customisation options, and strong mobile functionality to capture growing mobile shopping demand.

Brand Positioning.

The brand had become dated and was losing ground to newer competitors. We updated brand guidelines and social media standards refreshing the brand image. We also restructured the customer journey making it simpler and more efficient, driving improved conversion rates.

Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram).

Our Meta campaigns delivered substantial improvements. Click-through rate increased by 320%, rising from 1 in 100 users to over 4 in 100 users clicking. This reduced acquisition costs, improved engagement, and enabled profitable growth averaging over 10 sales daily.

Website traffic grew more than 60% month-on-month. By highlighting SWYC’s distinctive personalisation strengths, campaigns consistently attracted quality buyers and expanded their customer base.

Social Media Marketing.

We managed SWYC’s organic social content across all major platforms, creating posts balancing product promotion with compelling lifestyle imagery. The strategy focused on building community around personalisation and creative expression.

Engagement rates increased significantly. Our analysis demonstrated SWYC could effectively compete against brands with hundreds of thousands of followers through excellent content quality and genuine customer interaction.

Photography & Video.

Visual content was a significant limitation. SWYC relied on inconsistent, basic imagery harming conversion rates. We invested substantial time in professional studio production building a high-quality content library with professional styling and editing.

This created a lasting visual asset library, eliminated ongoing photography costs, and provided consistent, polished brand appearance. Video content showcased the personalisation process building trust and engagement across Instagram, TikTok, and the website.

Google SEO.

We rebuilt SWYC’s SEO foundation by improving site speed, structure, and keyword focus. With ten years’ business experience, SWYC was well-positioned to capture high-intent searches for custom bags, personalised jewellery, and bespoke accessories.

Organic traffic grew consistently month-on-month. Targeting searches with 10,000+ monthly volume unlocked over £30,000 in revenue potential, creating long-term visibility and financial stability.
