Challenge
Started in 2009, ValueVapor watched their successful business shrink as new competitors gained popularity with more modern branding. ValueVapor’s word of mouth business approach was losing traction with an outdated website and lack of social media presence. It was being cut out of the industry it had helped pioneer.
Solution
FreshDigitalGroup developed and implemented a digital strategy including a full brand overhaul to reposition ValueVapor as a leader in the e-cigarette industry. We built a responsive, dynamic eCommerce website with cutting-edge systems and user-friendly navigation. FDG built ValueVapor’s brand presence on social media from scratch with no paid advertisements, using high-quality creative and informative content, as well as starting a highly successful newsletter that leveraged a previously unused email list to create high sales numbers on a regular basis.
Throughout the process, we carried out extensive research on industry competitors and the success of our campaigns. By analyzing demographics and conversions on the website, social media, and the newsletter, we implemented our insights to optimize our strategies.
