MVP Athletic Supplies
Challenge
Prior to coming to Think Profits, MVP’s entire business relied on producing and mailing a beautiful annual catalogue to their subscribers and clients. The catalogue featured all of their products and relevant company and ordering information. They had no Internet presence and a non-existent digital marketing strategy. It was important to create a website that customers could easily purchase from. The website also had to feature a Content Management System on the backend that was easy for MVP management to use. Above all, MVP wanted to stand apart from its competition. The website had to exude sportsmanship and the thrill of getting in the game. Like all sports, it had to encourage interaction with MVP and the web visitor.
Solution
Think Profits enjoys a wonderful working relationship with MVP. We produced a clean user-friendly website with a design tilted towards athletic themes and colours. It was specifically designed to draw the users’ attention to the online shopping for immediate purchase. Keyword research was done to target the phrases web users used most when searching for the products MVP offered. Search Engine Optimized landing pages were written, targeting MVP’s major business areas and product categories to rank them high in search engine results. The Content Management System was created for the online shopping cart. MVP could easily upload and update their content by changing prices, adding or removing products and keeping current with tax codes. With the new online shopping cart, visitors could easily order and purchase products online.
Results
MVP has experienced amazing results. They have definitely reached their goal of being a Canadian leader of online athletic supplies. After launching their website, they soon received Page one rankings in all of the major search engines for 18 keywords: three in the first position and 15 in top five positions. By switching to an online digital catalogue and shopping cart, they were able to discontinue their annual print catalogue, thus saving them more than a million dollars in printing costs.
