White Paper

Executive Summary

Market Merchants Consulting managed the search engine marketing campaigns for an online retailer of barbeque and fireplace accessories. Prior to our involvement their website was generating less than $10,000 annually.

Highlights from Sales Document

In order to invigorate lagging sales, a new effort was launched for the upcoming barbecue season. The company provided Market Merchants Consulting with an advertising budget under $10K focused exclusively on Google Adwords. The resulting campaign saw an ROI of 500% producing 20K visits at a cost less than fifty-cents per click resulting in $60K in sales.

This justified an increase the following year to a $70,000 advertising budget, producing sales of $480,000 and an ROI of 585%. Using optimized historical keyword data the campaign was scaled back the following year to $50,000 resulting in $1.5 million in sales a 2,900% return on investment.

Market Merchants Consulting happily handed off this lucrative search engine marketing project to their in-house marketing department.
