Project Brief

Dave’s has built a strong retail presence over the years.  But e-commerce has been less of a focus.  They came to us to improve their website, e-commerce business and Amazon selling results.  Using a combination of ads, social media and building a healthy email list, the foundation for growth is set. 

Objectives

  • Prove E-commerce and Amazon Demand and Viability

  • Increase Product Visibility Online

  • Improve Brand Recognition

  • Build Social Media Accounts

The Method

CrunchGrowth increased the sku count on the website and Amazon and included multi-packs that increased the average sale significantly.  Re-aligned social media to focus on the items that are most often purchased by the customer; obtaining UGC and developing a broad influencer network focused on cooking. 

The Results

  • Dave’s Gourmet has been a well known brand for over 30 years

  • Dave’s has been able to expand into other categories other than hot sauce

  • Focus imagery for social and ads on short form video had a positive impact

  • Amazon has improved the visibility and sales of the brand.
