The Challenge
Our client; a leading bedding and sleep products brand in Nigeria, faced significant friction in connecting nationwide demand with their distribution network. Retailers and wholesale buyers struggled to locate inventory, calculate local shipping weights using regional metrics, and compare complex product specifications (such as mattress density, thread counts, and dimensions). Meanwhile, high customer acquisition costs (CAC) and a fragmented purchase journey resulted in lost sales to local competitors. The objective was to transform their digital presence into a high-converting, omnichannel sales engine that streamlines the wholesale journey, empowers local distributor discovery, and drives nationwide retail sales.
WHAT WE DID
Using our Scale GENIE plan; designed for growth-stage companies to optimise unit economics and expand market share, we overhauled the client's digital experience and post-click architecture.
- E-Commerce Web Design & CRO: Built a custom, mobile-responsive web platform engineered for high conversion rates. Implemented intuitive product comparison tools allowing buyers to evaluate firmness, materials, and size specs side-by-side.
- Localized Measurement & Inventory Features: Developed an interactive local weight chart calculator translating standardized dimensions into local measurement guides, drastically reducing buyer uncertainty around shipping and fit.
- Dynamic Distributor & Wholesaler Map: Built an interactive, location-based map connecting site visitors directly with nationwide distributors and stockists in real time based on geographic proximity.
- Customer Journey Mapping & Full-Funnel Analytics: Mapped distinct paths for B2C retail shoppers versus B2B wholesale buyers. Configured advanced GA4, GTM, and product analytics to track drop-off points, map cart behavior, and assign multi-touch revenue attribution.
- Advanced Segmentation & Paid Acquisition Strategy: Launched high-intent search and social campaigns paired with custom retargeting segments (e.g., cart abandoners, distributor searchers, commercial buyers).
- Automated Retention & Lifecycle Marketing: Built automated email and SMS workflows, including abandoned cart recovery, post-purchase care guides, distributor onboarding flows, and replenishment reminders.
- SEO & Long-Tail Content Strategy: Implemented a comprehensive content and link-building strategy targeting long-tail localized search terms (e.g., sleep health, orthopedic mattress sizing, regional wholesale bedding suppliers).
- Bi-Weekly Experiments: Ran two structured growth experiments per month focusing on checkout friction reduction, pop-up lead generation for trade discounts, and dynamic geo-targeting.
