Case StudySports & Outdoor Play
Flying Clipper

From $246K to $948K in twelve months.

The original footbag brand had product-market fit and loyal customers but no growth engine. We built the ad infrastructure, activated the multi-pack catalogue, and captured a record Q4.

Project Overview

Great product. No growth engine.

Flying Clipper closed 2024 at $247K, built almost entirely on organic discovery. No ad strategy, no multi-pack offers, no plan for the Q4 gifting peak — real demand was going untapped every single day.

Q4 ROAS
The Challenge

Three gaps holding back a great product.

23%
of revenue from paid

Advertising was underutilized

Ads existed, but with no structure and no strategy to capture demand or defend positions in high-intent periods.

$0
ad spend on multi-packs

The catalogue wasn't activated

The highest-AOV, highest-margin products had zero dedicated ad support. Buyers ready to purchase couldn't find them.

$21K
November 2024 revenue

Q4 went uncaptured, yearly

Footbags are gift friendly, and Q4 demand is predictable, yet the biggest revenue window passed by, year after year.

Our Solution

Four moves that changed the trajectory.

PPC built on top of the organic base and never in competition with it. Every move protected the 60% organic share, while paid scaled.

01
Amazon Advertising

PPC built on a strong organic foundation

A structured programme across Sponsored Products, Brands, and Display grew paid's revenue share from 23% to 40% while protecting the 60% organic base.

02
Catalogue Strategy

Spend concentrated on multi-packs

Hero bundles finally got dedicated campaigns; new crochet and novelty lines launched from zero to $92K+.

Seasonality & Promotions

A full Q4 strategy, executed for the first time

Demand mapped by day of week, budgets shifted to Friday and Monday peaks, deal stacking and always-on coupons across hero ASINs.

Amazon SEO

Organic grown alongside paid, not against it

Stronger rankings, sharper listings, and review velocity built compounding momentum that keeps lowering long-term TACOS.
