CHALLENGE
Following a year of rapid growth, WARDJet entered a critical phase in their overall growth plan. Even though WARDJet found itself a top 3 leading competitor in waterjet cutting systems, their market share needed to increase to sustain their rapid growth. Due to competitor downsizing and a competitor market share decrease, a small window of opportunity had opened up making 2016 a make or break year to drastically increase market share.
SOLUTION
The obvious answer was that we needed to increase our lead volume and lead quality to directly affect market share. That’s all well and good, but HOW, specifically, do we do that. What followed was a multi-tiered initiative that focused on brand perception and a unique value proposition – “Tailored Waterjet Solutions”.
It included a complete rebrand, website relaunch, adwords campaign and a focus on creating valuable and targeted content regardless of platform or channel.
RESULTS
- Contributed to a 25% increase in revenue in 2016 outpacing the market by over 3 times.
