The Story Of Funky Flickr Boyz And Their Ecommerce Journey

Despite the innovative and daring nature of the products and the brand’s successful repute, Funky Flickr Boyz was looking to further enhance the visibility of their Shopify store and attract more customers.

After a visually appealing and well optimized store, SANOMADS next focused on search engine optimization (SEO) to help Funky Flickr Boyz achieve greater organic visibility. In order to boost search engine rankings, increase site traffic, and generate high quality leads, we applied a customized SEO strategy.
The SEO Strategy At Work:
- Keyword Research and On Page SEO: For Funky Flickr Boyz's niche, SANOMADS performed extensive keyword research to find high volume, relevant keywords. After that, we carefully incorporated these keywords all over the site, in important places like titles, descriptions, and metadata. Customers looking for their products on search engines will have an easier time finding them.
- Content Marketing and Blogging: As part of their ecommerce branding tactics, SANOMADS launched a blog for Funky Flickr Boyz that covered all things relating to their niche such as wrestling shoe trends, top contenders, and other wrestling related content. Along with increasing organic traffic, this solidified Funky Flickr Boyz's position as a go to authority in their field.

In addition, we made sure the site met all industry standards for speed, structure, and mobile friendliness as part of our technical SEO improvements.
SEO Results:
- Improved product page rankings for highly competitive keywords.
- Increased organic search traffic by up to 45% within the first 3 months.
- Paid Ads: Scaling Quickly with Targeted Campaigns
To help Funky Flickr Boyz scale up fast, SANOMADS used both organic search engine optimization and paid advertising simultaneously. In order to raise awareness for the brand, attract visitors, and turn them into paying customers, we employed a combination of Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, and Google Ads.
Pay Per Click Advertising Approach
- Targeted Facebook and Instagram Campaigns: The Funky Flickr Boyz's audience was carefully narrowed down by SANOMADS and targeted through Facebook and Instagram ads. These ads focused on demographics, interests, and behaviors that were similar to the target audience. Funky Flickr Boyz Wrestling Shoes were showcased through the use of eye catching images, carousel ads, and video ads, all of which played a part in increasing engagement and driving up clicks.
- Retargeting Campaigns: Campaigns that use retargeting were one of the most fruitful tactics we used. If a customer had visited Funky Flickr Boyz's site before but decided not to buy anything, we could retarget them with our remarketing campaigns. They were more likely to finish the purchase after seeing the personalized ads, which greatly increased the conversion rate.
- Google Shopping Ads: The paid ad strategy included the use of Google Shopping ads, which SANOMADS implemented for Funky Flickr Boyz. Google search results pages included product images from Funky Flickr Boyz Gear, making it easier for potential customers to find and buy the gear.
The Outcomes Of Paid Advertising

- Sales increased by 659%
- Conversion rate up by 122%
- Online Sessions increased by 138%
- AOV increased by 42%
- Number of orders up by 434%
- Customer Acquisition Cost cut down by 210%
Extra Marketing Considerations For Successful E-Commerce
Although SANOMADS concentrated mostly on Shopify strategies, SEO, and paid ads for Funky Flickr Boyz, brands can use other strong marketing tools to increase their e-commerce presence. Email marketing and influencer marketing—two very powerful tools that can augment a strong Shopify foundation and increase general sales—will be discussed further.
Email Marketing: Engage, Retain, Convert
One of the most affordable techniques still in use for developing customer relationships, advertising new products, and boosting sales is email marketing. For companies like Funky Flickr Boyz, SANOMADS understands the need for a strong email plan in fostering customer loyalty and optimizing sales.
- Welcome Email Series: One of the first email automations we advise is a welcome series for recent customers or members. this series usually features a warm welcome message, a quick brand introduction, and special offers, including discounts or exclusive content, to hook first time customers.
- Abandoned Cart Emails: A common problem for e-commerce stores is cart abandonment. Creating automated abandoned cart email series will help to greatly offset possible lost sales. Often including a little incentive (such as a discount), these emails remind customers of the items they left behind and nudge them to finish their purchase.
- Product Recommendations and Personalized Offers: Email marketing offers a means to personalize offers depending on consumer behavior. SANOMADS advises forwarding product recommendations depending on the browsing or purchase behavior of a customer. This personal touch increases customer involvement as well as drives repeat business.
-
Seasonal Campaigns and Promotions: Timing is everything in e-commerce; seasonal campaigns and promotions. Sanomads stresses the need for running email seasonal campaigns or flash sales. Sharing time sensitive offers can generate urgency and drive consumers to act right away.
Amplifying Brand Reach With Influencer Marketing
Influencer marketing can be a very effective tool for increasing brand awareness and traffic. Working with appropriate influencers will enable companies to establish credibility and reach new markets.
- Identifying the Right Influencers: The secret to a good influencer marketing campaign is selecting the appropriate partners. Working with influencers whose audience fits the target demographic of the brand is crucial. If we take Funky Flickr Boyz, for example, we would recommend working with influencers in the boxing and wrestling space.
- Influencer Collaborations and Product Reviews: By presenting and reviewing your brand’s products, influencers can help generate buzz. Whether through styled photo sessions, product reviews, or unboxing videos, they can share their own experience with the items. By means of these partnerships, trust and credibility are developed among new consumers contemplating purchasing from your brand.
- Unboxing and Try On Hauls: YouTube and Instagram are still rather popular platforms for unboxing and try on videos. This kind of content can help prospective consumers make wise decisions by providing a better sense of what your products offer. By showing how the equipment looks, feels, and fits in actual life, influencers help to authenticate the brand appeal.
- Giveaways and Contests: Another great approach to make use of influencer marketing is by means of contests and giveaways. Funky Flickr Boyz can increase its audience base, interact with fresh followers, and drive website traffic by teaming with an influencer to host a giveaway. The giveaway might inspire consumers to follow the brand, tag friends, or visit a store, raising brand awareness and customer involvement.
Combining Paid Ads, SEO, Email Marketing, And Influencer Marketing For High Impact
Combining paid ads and SEO techniques with email and influencer marketing will enable companies to realize their complete potential. Here’s how you can integrate these elements for a holistic marketing strategy:
- Paid Ads Paired With Influencer Marketing: This will also allow your team influencers to be more widely visible. For instance, running Facebook or Instagram ads with Funky Flickr Boyz's content after an influencer shares it might raise the possibility of reaching an even bigger audience. Paid ads can also be utilized to retarget consumers who interacted with influencer content, guiding them back to the website to make a purchase.
- SEO + Email Marketing: Once you have optimized your Shopify store for search engines, follow up with email marketing that keeps consumers interested. For instance, you might send someone tailored emails with product recommendations, new arrivals, or promotions relevant to their interests following a visit to the website and browsing of specific items.
- Influencer Marketing + Email Marketing: By advertising a sign-up offer or exclusive content on their platforms, influencers can assist you in expanding your email list. This might be an early access to new collections, a downloadable fashion guide, or a special discount. Influencers serve as a reliable voice to inspire prospective customers to sign up for the email list, helping you to turn them into devoted consumers.
