MARKETING AND KEY METRICS

Paid social media and a growing focus on PPC advertising drive the digital marketing strategy. When the brand started, advertising was done exclusively on Facebook. In September 2021, the team started running TikTok ads. Google PPC was initiated three months later with a focus on branded campaigns. Shopping campaigns became a more significant focus in the following months. Bing ads were then introduced at a meager scale and remain that way. More recently, the media buying agency has begun Snapchat and YouTube ads.

The business primarily sells its products through its Shopify-built website. It has seen strong growth in sales through paid social media advertising and PPC campaigns on platforms like Facebook, TikTok, Google, Snapchat, and YouTube.

The brand’s key metrics include net margins of 27%, a strong repeat business rate, and an influencer program in place to drive brand awareness and customer acquisition.

The business has a loyal and growing customer base, including repeat customers who are attracted to the high-quality and stylish smartwatch bands offered by the brand.

BUSINESS MODEL & RESOURCES NEEDED

The business has six full-time employees based in the US and two in the Philippines. The roles include warehouse pickers and packers, warehouse operations manager, social media and influencer manager, marketer, and virtual assistants for customer service. The existing staff can stay on with the business post-acquisition.

THE INDUSTRY

The global smartwatch market was valued at $30,4 million in 2021 and is expected to grow immensely over the next decade. The devices are anticipated to witness a surge in adoption owing to the growing inclination for fitness tracking and health monitoring features. Smartwatches, like other wearable devices, come packed with features such as calling, messaging, navigation, voice assistance, pairing with other connected devices, and more, enabling users to automate their daily activities. The market has experienced fundamental technological developments related to operating systems and interfaces. Apple possesses the highest market share of more than 30% and is anticipated to retain its dominance in the future, adding immense value to this brand of compatible accessories.

OPPORTUNITIES TO SCALE

The brand has opportunities for scaling its operations by expanding into other product categories in the smartwatch space and expanding its presence on Amazon. By leveraging its influencer program, the brand can continue to drive growth and brand awareness.
