Custom Ink's Most Successful Campaign of 2024

Holiday Gift Guide

The Friction: Energize Customers Through Holiday Gifting

I was selected as the art director and project manager for the holiday gifting catalog and campaign. In this capacity I managed the infrastructure for data submission, all visuals, storyboarding for photo shoots, and set project check points for the creative team. Following the asset collection process, I designed the layout of the digital deliverables and the printed version of the guide - providing Custom Ink with its single most successful campaign of 2024.

Performance via E-mail

In the first two months, emails featuring this content made 4.9 million with 3,300+ orders (campaign expected to run 3+ months) The AOV (average order value) for those emails is $1,074.

Performance via Social

In P10 & 11 ads directing to the Gift Guide from Meta drove $790k in reported revenue. We believe that the Gift Guide helped to engage our audience and expose them to additional products evidenced by a 168% lift in average product page views per visit vs benchmark for standard ads (non-DPA).

Performance via Direct Sales

For the Sales teams, there was a 3% lift in sales for products in the gift guide $175k has converted from the Salesforce campaign, with $701k projected in opportunities.

At the close of the campaign, an estimated $8 million was generated through paid and organic leads.
