Image Gloves Social Media Growth Case Study
Background
In January 2022, Image Gloves had only a few inbound orders trickling into their Shopify site. They didn’t have enough traffic – or demand – for their product. As an innovative print-on-demand nitrile glove printer, Image Gloves had not yet identified the right customer category or what messaging resonated. The company struggling to sell a brand new category of product.
Problem
After RevvSpark completed a website redesign for the product category landing pages and functional upgrades to the Shopify shopping cart, Image Gloves was not receiving inbound sales from the website. Monthly visitors were less than 2,300 and the company was not driving any traffic to it. The few sales they had received from Jan-March 2022 only totaled $7,247 – all from inbound DMs on Instagram.
Challenges
- New innovative product and product category
- Target market unclear
