£500k Red Light Therapy Company is Struggling To Grow
Wednesday, September 11, 2024 • Duration 51:57
Unlocking Red Light Therapy's Potential: A Business Journey
Today on the podcast, we're exploring a business focused on red light therapy. If you're not familiar with it, don't worry—we'll break it all down, including the marketing challenges this business faces in a now crowded market.
The Business Landscape: From Blue to Red Ocean
A few years ago, this business thrived in a "blue ocean"—a market with little competition. Now, the market is crowded, bringing new challenges that they’ve come to us to solve.
What is Red Light Therapy?
We spoke with Brian, the business owner, to learn about red light therapy—a treatment using specific wavelengths of red and infrared light to stimulate energy production in cells, offering benefits like pain relief and improved skin health. Brian's company sells devices for at-home use, which was a big advantage when he started in 2017. However, competition has since intensified.
The Marketing Challenges
Despite early success, increased competition has led to market share loss. Key issues include:
Facebook Ads Tracking Problems: Attribution issues wasted budget, leading to ad shutdown.
Google Ads Inefficiencies: Poor performance from previous agencies hampered results.
SEO Shortcomings: Changes in Google’s algorithms have led to missed organic traffic opportunities.
Knowing Your Numbers
Brian aims to grow his business from £500,000 to £1 million within a year, but achieving this requires a clear plan and understanding of the numbers. This includes:
Product Innovation: Understanding how new features impact sales and order value.
Channel-Specific ROI: Ensuring each marketing channel delivers a clear return on investment.
Data-Driven Decisions: Using tools like Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to gather accurate data on traffic and conversions.
Content and Education: Key to Selling High-Ticket Items
For a relatively new product like red light therapy, education is crucial. Brian needs to build trust and authority by educating potential customers on its benefits, rather than relying solely on direct sales.
By focusing on business fundamentals and a scientific approach to marketing, Brian can reclaim lost market share and continue to grow. Here's to his journey—may it shine as brightly as the red light his products emit!

£800k Bespoke Kitchen Company Needs To Think Bigger
Wednesday, September 4, 2024 • Duration 55:44
Scaling a bespoke kitchen business: A strategic marketing Approach
In today’s episode of the "Grow with Evergreen" podcast, we’re diving into a fascinating conversation with Brandon, the owner of a bespoke kitchen-making business based in Essex. Brandon's business, known for its high-quality, custom-made kitchens, is doing well with an annual turnover of about £800,000.
Brandon’s business has primarily grown through referrals, partnerships with architects, builders, and interior designers, and a small percentage of direct clients from their website and social media. However, with the economic downturn affecting his partners, Brandon has seen a corresponding dip in his incoming projects. He’s ambitious and sees potential to significantly grow his business, but he’s unsure how to attract more direct clients.
To scale the business effectively, Brandon needs to shift from a reliance on referrals to a more proactive marketing strategy.

£30k/Month Carpentry Business Is Approaching Google Ads All Wrong
Wednesday, August 28, 2024 • Duration 56:42
As a small ecommerce business owner, getting the most out of your limited marketing budget is crucial.
In a recent episode of the Grow with Evergreen podcast, our MD, Aaron, spoke with Stuart, owner of a handmade furniture company, about optimising Google Ads campaigns on a tight budget.
Here are 5 key takeaways:
Use Google Ads conversion tracking, not Google Analytics
Many businesses import conversion data from Google Analytics into Google Ads. However, this can lead to inflated and inaccurate conversion reporting. Instead, conversion tracking should be set up directly in Google Ads for more precise data on which ads and keywords are driving sales.
Only assign conversion value to actual purchases
Avoid assigning monetary values to micro-conversions like add-to-carts or initiating checkout. This artificially inflates your campaign's perceived performance. Only attribute value to completed purchases.
Move away from "Maximise Clicks" bidding
The "Maximise Clicks" bidding strategy focuses on volume over quality. For most ecommerce businesses, it's better to use manual bidding or "Target Impression Share" to have more control over ad spend and reach your ideal customers.
Leverage audience targeting
Take advantage of Google's in-market and affinity audiences to show your ads to people actively shopping for or interested in your products. Start with observation-only targeting to gather data before adjusting bids.
£7.5m Country Clothing Brand Wants To Dominate Their Sector
Wednesday, August 21, 2024 • Duration 01:04:22
In this episode of Grow with Evergreen, we dive into an inspiring conversation with Matthew, the Managing Director of Holland’s Country Clothing, an online country clothing store that has achieved an impressive £7.5 million in turnover.
Matthew shares his journey, the challenges faced, and his ambitious goals to dominate the entire sector.
A Family Business with Big AmbitionsMatthew’s story begins with the roots of Holland’s Country Clothing, a family-run business established in 1978.
Originally starting as market traders, the business made a significant shift online in 2008. Today, they’re generating substantial revenue and investing heavily in Google Ads, spending £450,000 a year on this channel alone.
With a strong online presence and a well-established brand, Matthew isn’t just looking to grow—he’s aiming to monopolise the country clothing space entirely.
Despite their success, Matthew faces some significant marketing challenges, particularly around increasing spending while maintaining a profitable return on ad spend (ROAS).
Matthew’s journey with Holland’s Country Clothing is a testament to the power of combining traditional business values with modern digital marketing strategies.
As he continues to refine and expand his approach, there are clear opportunities for further growth—especially in areas like paid social and post-click optimisation.
This episode serves as a valuable case study for any business owner looking to scale their ecommerce operations effectively.***

Refine location targeting settings
Under location options, choose "Presence: People in or regularly in your targeted locations" rather than the default setting that includes people merely interested in those locations. This ensures your budget is spent reaching people who can actually purchase from you.
Implementing these optimizations can help stretch a limited ad budget further and drive more qualified traffic to your ecommerce site. Even small improvements in efficiency can make a big difference for growing businesses.
