Perfume Sales
Our client, a perfume brand, approached us with a problem many new online businesses face: low sales, difficulty in acquiring new customers, and a general struggle to establish a foothold in the competitive world of online retail. Despite offering high-quality products and having a beautifully designed website, they found it challenging to convert website visitors into buyers and generate consistent revenue.
They had been relying on word-of-mouth and minimal social media engagement to drive sales, but it wasn’t enough to create sustainable growth. Their goal was to not only improve sales but also create a lasting online presence.
Problems
- Low Website Traffic: Despite their best efforts, the website was receiving very little organic traffic.
- Limited Brand Awareness: With an oversaturated market, the brand wasn’t standing out to potential customers.
- Poor Conversion Rates: Even when users landed on the website, they often left without making a purchase.
- Minimal Customer Engagement: The existing social media strategy wasn’t building a community or driving interaction.
- Lack of Effective Ad Campaigns: Paid ads were running with no clear targeting, resulting in wasted marketing budgets.
Solutions
After analysing their current strategy, we crafted a custom digital marketing plan that would address each of these pain points. Our goal was to make sure the client could successfully reach their target audience and convert them into loyal customers. Here’s how we helped:
- SEO Optimization and Content Strategy: One of the first things we noticed was the lack of search engine optimization (SEO) on the website. To drive organic traffic, we restructured the site’s content, focusing on keywords and phrases that perfume enthusiasts were searching for. We also developed a content marketing strategy, which included blog posts, guides on choosing the right fragrance, and tips for perfume care. This not only improved search rankings but also provided valuable information to users, keeping them on the site longer.
- Targeted Social Media Campaigns: We revamped their social media strategy by identifying platforms that resonated with their target audience, focusing on Instagram and Facebook, where visual appeal plays a huge role in the buying process. Our team designed eye-catching graphics and videos showcasing the perfumes, along with influencer collaborations to build trust. We also encouraged user-generated content, which helped create buzz around the brand.
- Email Marketing for Retargeting: We implemented an email marketing campaign that targeted existing customers, abandoned cart users, and potential leads. This included personalized offers, discounts, and perfume samples for customers who were hesitant to buy. We segmented the email list based on customer behavior, which increased open rates and conversions significantly.
- Pay-Per-Click Advertising Meta & Google: We restructured their ad campaigns to be more focused and data-driven. By refining the audience targeting and running ads based on consumer behavior, we cut down on wasted spending and drove more qualified traffic to the site. Our retargeting ads played a huge role in bringing back visitors who had previously left the website without purchasing.
- Customer Engagement and Brand Storytelling: Perfume is an emotional purchase tied to personal identity and memory. We helped the client build a brand story around their products, connecting emotionally with their audience. We highlighted the craft and passion behind each fragrance, which helped create a more personal bond between the brand and its customers. Through regular interaction on social media and responding to customer inquiries promptly, the brand was able to build a loyal customer base.
- Website Conversion Rate Optimization: We examined the user experience on the website and made several improvements. This included simplifying the checkout process, adding customer reviews, and creating urgency with limited-time offers. We also introduced a fragrance-finder quiz, which guided customers to perfumes based on their preferences. These changes significantly improved the overall conversion rate.

Over the course of six months, we saw tremendous growth in every aspect of the client’s business:
