Celebrante is an Australian celebrant directory which makes money from celebrants when users make an enquiry with them through the Celebrante website.

The business model is simple, generate enquiries through the website at less than it costs in marketing to generate the enquiry.

The previous owner was forced to sell the website after rising Google AdWords costs had made the website no longer profitable.

Lance Tapsell, a long-time celebrant and customer of the site decided to purchase it and try to get it profitable again.

By engaging Pathfinder, the business was able to dramatically reduce its cost per lead and ensure profitability for the business and its future.

This client was very particular about the content that went out because it is a luxury hair salon. He works with celebrities and wanted to make sure that his content truly reflected what he did. We were able to capture his brand voice and post consistently. He was very busy so getting imagery was harder for him, we found stock imagery that reflected his brand and made the most out of not having imagery from his salon.

The first product we decided to focus on was Capabunga. Capabunga is a wine stopper invented by two veterans of the wine industry. The challenge was a low product price point, so we decided to do a bundle set to raise the AOV and create a separate landing page. Before iOS changes, we were able to hit our goal of a 2.2 ROAS on our Facebook campaigns. We've since decided to focus on another product they're getting ready for launch called the Market Tote.

• Break-even ROAS = 5.7

This is a fairly young business that the client started in this spring, so reaching a proper sales volume was part of the strategy as well.
