CHALLENGE: GENERATE AWARENESS & STORE TRAFFIC

Webolutions has managed the Sloane’s Carpet Secret website for over 10 years, and they enjoy very strong rankings for all their target keywords. They were looking to increase site conversion and to find cost-effective ways to expand awareness of their services among budget-oriented shoppers across the Denver’s Front Range.

OUR APPROACH

Webolutions redesigned the Sloane’s Carpet Secret website making it more contemporary looking and more mobile-friendly.  We used the latest web development best practices to highlight their primary calls to action:

  • Weekly Specials
  • Schedule a Weekday Appointment
  • As Seen on 9News
  • Call Us

We then added several paid media programs to cost-effectively drive additional traffic towards the site and their retail location.  Their regional advertising plan includes:

  • Pay-per-click (54K impressions/mo, $2.08 cost per click)
  • Display advertising (175K impressions/mo, $0.26/click)
  • Display retargeting (3K impressions/mo, $0.26/click)
  • Social media advertising (450K impressions/mo, $0.58/click)
  • External email to DIY homeowners (150K impressions/send, $1.32/click)
