BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder and owner of Leaf Remedys and Delta Remedys; we sell CBD products.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Leadhook Media?

We tried using Mailchimp as an email marketing service and worked with some freelancers, but we didn’t have the best experience and felt like we had some opportunity and revenue left on the table. We hired Leadhook Media for marketing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

To start, Leadhook Media sent us a questionnaire about our audience, customer base, and what we were targeting. They also asked us to send content and photographs. 

Leadhook Media transitioned us from Mailchimp to Klaviyo, and we have been working with them on email marketing, popup banners, and other features on our website. They’ve set up our flows in Klaviyo, and they send us 7–8 emails every month; we approve everything before we send it out. 

What is the team composition?

We work with Shawn (Retention Growth Specialist), Beverly (Email Marketing Strategist), and two other individuals.  

How did you come to work with Leadhook Media?

We posted on Upwork and Shawn sent a proposal from Leadhook Media. It was very different from the rest of the proposals we received, and everything looked a lot better, so we decided to move forward with Leadhook Media.

How much have you invested with them?

We initially invested $2,500 with them, and the monthly fee is $2,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in September 2022, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

We’ve seen a 50%–55% increase in revenue and have had steady growth throughout, so we will use them in the future. The emails we now send to our customers look very professional, and Leadhook Media makes sure that the emails don’t end up in promotional mailboxes. 

How did Leadhook Media perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve provided us with great project management, and everything is planned out in advance. They stay on schedule and within budget. We communicate via Slack, email, and biweekly Zoom meetings. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

We really appreciate their communication; they’re responsive and always polite. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing we can come up with at the moment. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Don’t wait to start with them. We wish we had started with Leadhook Media sooner because they have helped our business grow.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the co-founder of a wellness brand that sells natural sleep aids online.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Leadhook Media, and what were your goals?

Our product is unique in the world of sleep aids and requires more customer education to generate a sale. We knew that a well-designed email ecosystem focused on developing consumer trust would be essential in taking customers from aware-but-skeptical to repeat buyers.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Leadhook was chosen for its expertise in building email flows for other e-commerce brands that shared similar characteristics to ours.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

First, they developed several email flows to help us segment and speak to our potential customers at different stages of their journey. Second, they developed an email gathering process to increase the number of customers we were able to put through the email flows. Then they helped us evaluate the effectiveness of our website so we could retain more of the traffic we were earning. And finally, they took over the management of our email campaigns. All of this was done through Klayvio.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We worked with an account manager and a developer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Over about 2 months, our website email signups went from .4% to 4.4%, which led to a huge increase in customers moving through our email flows. Our email click-through rates have doubled, and our revenue per recipient is up 400%. We have hired several different firms in various areas of our digital marketing and Leadhook is by far performing the best.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Leadhook have been excellent communicators throughout this process. Despite being in very different time zones they have made it easy to reach them through tools like slack and regular video calls to touch base on projects and goals.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

We engaged Leadhook for a very specific project and they took it upon themselves to understand how that project fit into our broader marketing ecosystem so they could make recommendations for improvements. They've helped us improve our overall digital marketing effort, not just the area they were hired for.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Some of their copywriting could be a little tighter at times but we have never had an issue that 1 round of revisions couldn't fix.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the head of business development. The company is a pharmaceutical and cosmetics company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Leadhook Media?

I hired Leadhook for my email marketing. We started to grow our e-commerce part of the business, and we needed some help to optimize and set up the automation flows.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Expertise and price value factor. It was important as well that the company has knowledge around pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

After a kick-off meeting, they gave me some recommendations with which flow we should start and where the best option is for the brand. We started with that, and we added step by step the different flows and we also started sending weekly emails as well to understand to which type of mail my audience is reacting most.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I work mainly with Shawn the founder, and I work closely with his designer as well.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We have doubled the revenue which is coming from Klavyio within a short period if time.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was good. Shawn was always available when needed. We make it work even though we are in very different time zones.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I like their writing style and adaptability to our company's needs.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

We adjusted the approval processes during the first month, because it wasn't very smooth in the beginning. But now it is working great.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CMO of an ecommerce business, Aged & Charred, a cocktail smoker and whiskey accessory brand.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Leadhook Media, and what were your goals?

We reached out to Leadhook Media 2 months ago because we needed a way to continue growing our revenue through repeat customers and purchases. Before we were trying to get email as a channel to work and knew we were leaking customers through our website. Leadhook Media used their proven strategies to help lift our overall revenue.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

After working with Shawn and the team, we were delighted at how fast they understood our market and have successfully grown our email channel from 7% in total email revenue to 23% This is only so far. On top of that, we're now capturing up to 8% of total visitors on our store as well which is helping us retarget these customers for free; saving more money for paid ads. Really happy with their partnership and looking forward to seeing how else we'll grow with their help.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

Scope of work started with an audit of our current email workflows and audiences. LeadHook assessed where the opportunity was, and came with a strategy for how to maximize the value of our email campaigns. They drafted new campaigns and communicated status along the way. They were quick to turn around any feedback based on our reviews and approval. They implemented the campaigns based on the priority of each, and reported metrics to measure success along the way.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Three that I know of. Shawn managed the entire effort. Kelvin drafted campaigns. And one other resource was a technical analyst to help with implementation.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We have successfully grown our email channel from 7% in total email revenue to 23% This is only so far. On top of that, we're now capturing up to 8% of total visitors on our store.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It's been good. We agreed to use some of their tools and some of ours for project management and communication.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They quickly identified the opportunities and wrote copy that resonated perfectly with our audience.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

They are aggressive with their email copy, so we work together to find a balance of driving sales and staying on brand. It's great to work with them to find this balance.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder of an entertainment company. We offer immersive indoor and outdoor entertainment.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Leadhook Media?

We didn't have an email marketing strategy in place, so we asked them to come up with one and implement it using Klaviyo.
 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They first came up with the email marketing strategy itself. This involved structuring our email flows with the copy and different engagement mechanisms — for instance, when a user lands on the website, there's a pop-up offering a discount in exchange for their email address. If they enter the email address, the system then puts them into a series of emails trying to convert them to make a purchase. I also gave them suggestions regarding the structure, which they took and turned into a proposal. After finalizing the strategy, they began implementing it.

What is the team composition?

I work with at least three people from their side, including Shawn (Managing Director) who was my main point of contact.

How did you come to work with Leadhook Media?

I found them on a certain platform and saw that they had a lot of good reviews and positive feedback, which was the main reason why I decided to give them a try.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $3,000 USD so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in April 2021, and I’ve asked them to do some additional work for us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

In the first month of our email campaign, we’ve seen a significant increase in our total number of sales. To be exact, our revenue is up by 10%

How did Leadhook Media perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been spot on in this regard. We mainly use Slack and email for communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their approach is quite informal and personal, and they really try to do the best they can for their customers.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of any.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the co-owner of an online water filtration retail shop.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Leadhook Media?

We were looking to capture potential sales through email marketing.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We found 6 other companies who offered email marketing. After interviewing we chose Leadhook Media because of their ability to comprehend our brand and grasp the complexity of the challenges we were facing. Their ability to clearly and consistantly communicate was well above average and we felt they took immediate ownership of the project.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

After a few initial meetings where they learned who our audience was and who we are and how we like to communicate, they were able to emulate our "tone" and adopt our style of staying in touch with our audience. This allowed us to trust them more and more as we developed strategies to nature our audience, build trust and drive more sales.

What was the team composition?

The project leader was extremely knowledgeable and took exceptional initiative to proactively capture opportunities. He was very effective in delegating email creation to his team members who where highly responsive and very talented as far as email structuring and graphics.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Although we were uncertain if it was realistic, we had a goal to hire an email marketer that would help us capture 30% of our revenue per month with strategic email campaigns. We hired Leadhook Media and was able to surpass this goal by our second month as they were successful in helping us capture 35%.

On our 3rd month working with Leadhook Media, we realized that their email campaigns was the only aspect that made us profitable for that month. Our business was thrown a curveball completely unrelated to them and we if we had not been working with Leadhook Media that month we would have lost money. Very grateful for them carrying us through a tough time!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The team was highly professional and effective. We were able to work with the lead project manager who ensured the rest of the team were on the same page.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Very refreshing to work with an effectively communicating team where everyone has success of the project in their heart and zero drama. The team leader obviously had the experience to identify and capture opportunities and was able to proactively guide us to take advantage of those opportunities.

We really felt like our success was his success and that he always had ideas to stimulate our growth. We are grateful for his tips not only for this project, but also the tips that helped our business as a whole. It was really awesome having a skilled business partner who brought value to the bottom line.

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

Honestly, this company did their part and more. I only find that I wish everyone was as easy to work with. They were very respectful of our time and made the value they provided was always more than what we paid for. We are very blessed to have found them. We look forward to working with them on other projects in the future.
