Let’s have a look at some of W3 Affinity’s successful case studies

Pick a Bloom

W3 Affinity started digital marketing efforts for Pick a Bloom in November of 2015.

Pick a Bloom set out to sell wedding flowers online with a Shopify website and wanted to be disruptors by bringing a product that had a negative connotation for being “Fake” and “Dead looking” in their industry to the spotlight due to its actual beauty and longevity over their competitors’ products online.

Pick a Bloom faced a very uphill battle for the spotlight in very crowded wedding industry. They brought W3 Affinity on board as the experts in both Shopify Development and SEO. The company was facing a shortage of sales and lead generation. W3 Affinity needed to find a way to find and convert those leads. The strategy that W3 adopted had multiple layers that needed to be executed on and it had to be done quickly and effectively.

W3 Affinity determined its target and delivered advertising to them allowing them to answer a key question in their journey to get married. The tool took off as a standard for the budget determination as its data was unbiased in its answering. Every lead that was added to a custom audience as it was known that they were interested in the services of Pick a Bloom and also added to an email drip campaign.

This resulted in custom order requests jumping to over 500% immediately. Driving sales was the final goal of this exercise. The lead generation was to feed the beast while keeping budgets managed.

SEO for a local business

W3 Affinity started digital marketing efforts for Parkside Barbershop in June of 2010 through a customer of Parkside Barbershop that insisted that they get online and have a website.

Parkside was a 3 chair barbershop over in the west side of Richmond, Virginia and didn’t have a website. Their small size and lack of digital presence was something that was noted by customers and a customer of Parkside had referred W3 Affinity to do the original web design on the project. After the development of the website in 2012, W3 noted to the client that they’d need to really get into local SEO in order to see growth in their business.

The challenge was a long list of local barbershops that were owned by younger entrepreneurs that understood that they needed to have a web presence and that Parkside was late to the scene. Along with this, W3 Affinity was constrained by a very shoestring budget to make it all happen with.

The results of a great company like Parkside Barbershop continually bringing back their customers and gaining review after review while W3 Affinity managed the Shopify Website & SEO, resulted in growth into a new storefront, 12 chairs that barbers interchange as they bust out of the seams of their new building, and additional men’s grooming services to increase the value proposition that Parkside offers the Richmond area.
