Buzz Bee Toys

105% Increase in Total Sales | Turning a Kickstarter Idea Into a Mainstream Phenomenon Through Digital Marketing

Challenge

Buzz Bee Toys (BBT), a toy company with offices in the U.S. and Hong Kong, needed to increase sales and reinforce their brand positioning in a market ruled by toy giants such as Hasbro, Zuru, and Primetime.

Solution

First, VMG assembled a comprehensive digital marketing strategy to increase brand recognition and maximize BBT’s content reach. The result exceeded our client’s expectations: we created a total of 19.5 million impressions just in the first 8 months of 2021. What’s our secret? We used a three-tiered approach, mindful of our client’s unique positioning in a competitive market.

Social Media Campaign

First, VMG created and managed a social media strategy with 14 giveaways with more than 1,800 entries. This alone increased the Facebook and Instagram follower count and garnered 258,000 organic impressions. We also launched the official Buzz Bee Toys Twitter page and TikTok profile, which immediately attracted the attention of industry influencers and boosted impressions.

Retargeting

For most websites, only 2% of web traffic converts on the first visit. So we focused on retargeting: we displayed BBT Ads on other websites and attracted visitors who left the Buzz Bee Toys website without completing a purchase. This allowed us to recapture their attention and bring them back to the website, and gain 83,605 Ad impressions.
