The Challenge

The client, a small business owner offering birds of prey experiences, faced several challenges in reaching new audiences online. Limited reach was one of the primary challenges; despite having an exceptional service, the company struggled to reach a larger audience, which eventually affected their sales.

The Solution

To launch a social media campaign for Hawk Walks NI focused on promoting gift vouchers during the winter season, Smart Marketing Group implemented a targeted and creative digital marketing strategy:

• Creative Strategy Development: We crafted a compelling narrative around the unique bird of prey experiences, promoting the gift vouchers as ideal gifts for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts. This included the production of visually engaging social media graphics and videos that highlight the beauty and thrill of the hawk walk experiences.

• Social Media Strategy: Targeting individuals interested in outdoor, nature, and adventure activities, we executed Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns. These ads reached custom audiences tailored by interests and demographics, with additional retargeting efforts aimed at those who engaged with the page or visited the website but did not purchase.

• Content and Engagement: Our strategy included regular social media posts to educate and engage potential customers about the hawk walk experiences, featuring beautiful locations and expert bird handling. We leveraged user-generated content and testimonials to enhance credibility and visibility.

• Performance Tracking: We established a tracking and reporting system to monitor the campaign’s effectiveness, measure gift voucher sales and conversions, and facilitate data-driven optimisations.

This focused approach not only increased visibility for Hawk Walks NI but also drove significant interest and sales of gift vouchers during the off-peak season.

The Outcome

This case study highlights the effectiveness of using a conversion-optimised website in conjunction with Facebook and Instagram Ads. With a focused investment of £389 in social media advertising, the campaign successfully generated £5,530 in service sales within just one month, demonstrating a profitable return on digital marketing efforts.
