BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the operations manager for an e-commerce sports technology company. We focus on high-end tech equipment for sports development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with StatBid?

We needed someone to help us with our Google Ads campaigns and anything related to the digital marketing space.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

StatBid provides us with Google Ads and PPC campaigns services for the 40 brands that we’re representing in the US. Each brand is unique and what they do is help us manage and organize each campaign into buckets, and keep us abreast in regards to their progress.

Apart from that, they also provide us with SEO and web auditing services.

What is the team composition?

We work with Shilo and Roy (Co-Founders).

How did you come to work with StatBid?

The new owner of our company thought that StatBid would be a good fit for our business moving forward. We actually worked with other vendors for our Google ads efforts, but StatBid was the best out of all of them.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent around $36,000 USD.

What is the status of this engagement?

The ongoing partnership started in April 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We wanted to implement Google Ads into our business because we wanted to push more of our other products. One brand took up 80% of our sales but now, it’s only taking up 50% while the other brands are taking the remaining 50% — which is fantastic to us.

I can also say that since working with StatBid, our sales have increased 100% and in some cases, 300%. For every $2,000 USD we spend, we see at least a $60,000 USD return on revenue each month.

How did StatBid perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re one of the best teams I’ve worked with in terms of project management. They deliver on the agreed-upon due date but when they can’t, they let us know in advance. Apart from that, their communication is great and they always engage us through our Slack channel.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We like how they prioritize us and make us feel like we’re their only account. They do that by being easily accessible, knowledgeable of our company, and cognizant of the ad spend. They have a unique work ethic and we’ve never worked with anybody who operates as they do.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could improve on their SEO. The auditing takes long because they don’t have the manpower, but I understand that the service isn’t really in their wheelhouse. However, we’d like to engage with them more so that’s not really a criticism — it would be something fantastic to have though.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I would say be sure to engage continually with them and communicate more than you think you need to.
