My engagement with Rainier began with a site audit for the Outdoor division. It has since grown to a comprehensive marketing partnership across Shade, Outdoor and Industrial. The goal of the initial audit was to identify as many opportunities for UX and SEO improvement as possible that the internal team could handle implementation for without incurring additional costs.

The Challenge

Prior to working with Diogenes Solutions, the team at Gakken focused their efforts on Amazon Marketing with no Success usually just opting for automatic Amazon PPC campaigns that were costly and not profitable.

To position itself as a Top selling children’s book company, Gakken would have to prioritize targeted manual PPC campaigns. They would need to focus on ASIN targeting competitor products. Book targeting needs to be conservative in bidding and hyper targeted.

The Gakken team sought me out as the right person to take on the challenge.

The goal was to refine Gakkens PPC targeting with manual Selection, identify high-impact keywords, Categories and Products as well as display ads to fill topic gaps throughout the funnel, and ultimately, grow traffic and conversions.

This client came to me as a newer shop only starting in January of 2021. They had not run any paid media at the point of working together and they were already having good success in their first 6-months doing around 50-100K/month in top line revenue. They came to me looking to clear more of their inventory and start testing the waters on paid media to see what kind of return they could achieve.

Their business model did launches every two weeks of different products, so we were constantly running different campaigns to see which clothing sold well through paid media.
