Carlas USA, a manufacturer specializing in premium paint protection film (PPF), was starting from scratch with no domain, website, or online presence. Their goals were ambitious: to establish a standout e-commerce platform, carve out a niche in the color PPF market, and generate dealer and distributor signups while boosting brand recognition and driving sales.
Challenges
- Zero Online Presence: Carlas USA lacked a website, domain, or digital presence to sell their products or promote their brand.
- Establishing a Niche: They needed to differentiate themselves in the highly competitive PPF market, particularly in the unique and growing color PPF niche.
- Distributor Recruitment: Attracting new dealers and distributors required strategic positioning and a professional online platform.
- Social Media Growth: Carlas USA aimed to grow their social media following to increase brand awareness and engagement.
Our Solution
Custom E-Commerce Website Development
We built a robust e-commerce website from the ground up, featuring over 200 products with seamless navigation and detailed product descriptions. The website was designed to be mobile-friendly, visually appealing, and highly functional, with a focus on conversion. An integrated distributor and dealer portal streamlined the signup process, making it easy for professionals to join their network.
Paid Advertising Campaigns
We launched strategic ad campaigns across Google, Facebook, and Instagram to drive traffic and generate sales. These campaigns targeted high-intent keywords and were optimized for specific audience segments, including PPF installers, distributors, and car enthusiasts. Remarketing ads ensured we stayed top-of-mind for potential customers who interacted with the website but hadn’t converted yet.
Social Media Marketing
To establish Carlas USA as a leader in the color PPF niche, we developed a dynamic content strategy that showcased their extensive product range, including vibrant color options in matte, gloss, and textured finishes. Consistent posting on Instagram and Facebook, coupled with influencer partnerships and engaging visuals, led to a significant increase in followers and brand engagement.
Enhanced CSM System
We set up and managed a custom Customer Service Management (CSM) system to track and nurture leads effectively. Automated follow-ups, personalized messaging, and data insights ensured every lead was nurtured into a sale or distributor signup.
SEO and Content Marketing Strategy
Our content strategy focused on educating the target audience about the advantages of Carlas USA’s products. We published regular blog posts on topics such as PPF installation tips, benefits of color PPF, and customer success stories. Simultaneously, we implemented an aggressive SEO campaign to rank high for industry-specific keywords, increasing organic traffic and visibility.
Google Shopping Ads and Instagram Shop Integration
To further expand product visibility and drive sales, we integrated Carlas USA’s product catalog into Google Shopping Ads and Instagram Shop. This allowed their products to appear directly in search results and shopping feeds, targeting customers actively browsing for PPF solutions. These platforms enhanced discoverability and made purchasing effortless for both individual customers and professionals.
