Wellblūm

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the partnerships lead at OpenStore. We own and operate a portfolio of e-commerce businesses online. I manage all sorts of marketing partnerships that we use to drive traffic and revenue for our businesses, such as affiliate partnerships, brand partnerships, PR, and others.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Wellblūm?

We hired Wellblūm to increase sales and revenue from the affiliate marketing channel for one of our brands.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Wellblūm provided us with PR and affiliate marketing services. The platform we used was ShareASale, an affiliate network that tracks affiliate marketing partnerships. The team focused on placements on blogs and podcasts.

Initially, we got to know them and set up onboarding calls. The goal was to get up to speed with the progress they had made and the status of their efforts. After that, we got involved in helping them be as successful as they could in what they were trying to do for us.

What is the team composition?

We worked with two teammates from Wellblūm: Natasha and Veronica.

How did you come to work with Wellblūm?

Wellblūm was a referral from the original business owner. We chose them because they had a specialty in the product category we sold. The company we were running was called Future Kind, and it was in the wellness and supplement space. Wellblūm had a background in that. Still, our company automatically onboarded Wellblūm because they had a contract with the business we acquired, so the process was streamlined.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $30,000. The payment was around $4,000 per month.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March 2024–January 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We saw a 25% increase in revenue from the channel Wellblūm managed.

How did Wellblūm perform from a project management standpoint?

Wellblūm delivered the work on time and within budget. The team communicated well with us. We used phone calls, emails, and Slack.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Wellblūm’s communication and service were impressive. The team had a good attitude and was always available to communicate. Moreover, they were highly responsive and enthusiastic about doing a good job.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything for Wellblūm to improve on. They delivered what we wanted.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure you feel comfortable with the account manager. If there are issues, their CEO will be on the call and be helpful with high-level things, like making sure you have the right account manager.

We felt confident they could not only launch and manage our program but also serve as true partners invested in our long-term growth.
