About Conner Hats

Conner Hats is an e-commerce brand offering sustainably-made, premium-quality hats for men and women, designed for various activities and crafted from diverse materials. The brand’s goal was to scale its digital marketing efforts to drive higher revenue and optimize sales across Shopify, email, and SMS.

The Challenge

When Conner Hats first partnered with Ashworth Strategy, the brand had been running ads but wasn’t fully leveraging broad audiences or interest targeting. Their previous ad strategy lacked creative testing, and their email marketing was blending e-commerce and wholesale communications, which hindered overall email performance. The website also needed improvements to drive better conversion rates.

The Solution

When we first began working with Conner Hats, we implemented a targeted approach to drive immediate improvements:

  1. Advanced Advertising Strategy: We developed a robust ad strategy incorporating catalog ads for both men and women. Using lifestyle images and customer reviews, we optimized ad performance to drive higher engagement and sales.
  2. Website Conversion Optimization: We focused on improving the website’s user experience and conversion rate, ensuring smoother navigation and checkout processes, which directly impacted sales.
  3. Email & SMS Strategy: We separated e-commerce emails from wholesale emails, allowing for better segmentation and engagement. We tailored email and SMS campaigns to target specific customer behaviors, including past purchases and engagement.

The Results

  • Revenue Growth: Conner Hats achieved $1,858,095.13 in total sales from January 1, 2023 – October 31, 2024, marking a 1700% increase since they started working with us.
