The Backstory

‍
In a market saturated with generic, forgettable air fresheners, FreshEmblem emerged as a breath of fresh air. They set themselves apart with custom wood air fresheners, each piece a blend of artistic craftsmanship and natural essential oils. While they flourished at craft markets, captivating customers with their charm and unique value proposition, the vast digital landscape remained an untamed frontier. Joel, the visionary behind FreshEmblem, tasked us with a mission: catapult their online presence from unnoticed to unforgettable.

The Stumble

Caught in a rut with sales barely scratching the $1-4K mark each month, FreshEmblem was stuck in a loop, celebrated in craft circles but invisible to the vast online world. They were more than just another artisanal brand; their custom wood air fresheners were a hit at local markets but somehow didn't translate to the digital goldmine. This wasn't just a stumble—it was a full-on faceplant, showcasing the harsh reality that being a beloved niche product wasn't enough to break the online barrier and truly thrive.

This period of struggle highlighted the urgent need for a strategic pivot, as FreshEmblem grappled with breaking free from the niche artisanal label to claim its rightful place in the expansive digital arena
