How We Helped a Camo Accessories Brand Reach $300,000/Month in Revenue in Just 3 Months

When the owner of Kamo Skinz first approached us:

✅ They had tested the market with camo phone cases and initial sales were promising.

✅ They had attempted to run ads themselves but lacked the expertise to scale effectively.

✅ They had clearly identified a gap in the market with strong product/market fit.

✅ Their goal was to reach $300,000 in monthly sales by the end of the year but needed help optimizing their efforts.

Kamo Skinz was struggling to manage the growth of their brand. While they had a great product and initial sales success, the owner found himself spending more time trying to manage ad campaigns than on developing new products or building his team. The lack of expertise in media buying meant that every attempt to scale the business led to inefficiencies and wasted resources. Sales were unpredictable, and without any email or SMS marketing in place, they were leaving significant revenue on the table.

The Problem

Kamo Skinz faced a dual challenge: growing sales while reducing manufacturing costs. However, there simply weren’t enough hours in the day to tackle both effectively. The owner wasn’t an expert in Meta or Google ads, leading to an inefficient ad account structure. Despite some initial wins, the brand struggled to scale, and attempts to grow the business on their own resulted in wasted ad spend and time-consuming trade shows that, while beneficial, were expensive and labor-intensive.

So we did a free, no obligation, no-strings-attached audit and here’s what we found…

Inefficient Ad Account Structure

The ad campaigns lacked proper organization, leading to missed opportunities for scaling.

Messy Product Feed on Google

Kamo Skinz’s product feed was incomplete, causing Google Shopping’s algorithm to struggle with showing products in relevant searches.

No Email or SMS Marketing

The absence of any email or SMS strategy was a huge missed opportunity for driving repeat purchases and increasing customer lifetime value.

The Solution

We implemented a comprehensive strategy to address these challenges:

  • Meta Advertising: We restructured the entire ad account, creating a system that allowed for aggressive spending on high-performing ads while minimizing spend on underperforming ones. We also segmented campaigns by product group to ensure a balanced sales distribution across their product line.
  • Google Advertising: We fully optimized Kamo Skinz’s product feed, ensuring that Google had all the necessary information to display their products in relevant searches, maximizing their visibility and ad auction success.
  • Email & SMS Marketing: We built a robust email marketing system from the ground up, including automated sequences like abandoned cart, welcome series, and post-purchase follow-ups. Additionally, we managed weekly email campaigns that generated over $1,000 in revenue per email during the holiday season, all without requiring the owner to manage the process.
  • Shopify Website Optimization: We helped ensure that the Shopify website was set up for success by implementing best practices across the home page, product pages, and increasing average order value with timely upsell offers.

The Results

In just 3 months:

  • $300,000 Monthly Revenue: Revenue grew by 156% compared to the previous six months, with the brand surpassing their $300,000/month goal twice.
  • Enhanced Brand Visibility: Over 6 million Americans were served Kamo Skinz ads across Meta and Google, significantly increasing brand awareness and driving additional growth through word-of-mouth and improved organic rankings.
  • Operational Efficiency: By handing off the ad management to us, the Kamo Skinz team could focus on bringing manufacturing in-house, reducing costs, and increasing margins.
  • Strategic Partnership: Kamo Skinz benefited greatly from the experience and expertise of the Outdoor eCommerce team. Our ongoing strategy consultations played a crucial role in shaping the brand’s growth, enabling opportunities that might not have been possible otherwise. By working with us, Kamo Skinz gained access to industry-specific knowledge and insights drawn from our work with numerous brands—a level of expertise that is difficult to find elsewhere.

The Kamo Skinz team was thrilled with the results, as it allowed them to concentrate on what they do best while continuing to build their business and reach new heights.

Handing over advertising and email management to our team of professionals allowed Kamo Skinz to maximize their brand’s potential, generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in net profit. The lesson learned?
