Slugger Bat Day

Smashing Holiday Goals with a Data-Driven Campaign

In the fast-paced world of social media marketing, Louisville Slugger turned to us with a simple yet ambitious goal: sell a lot of bats during the holiday season. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday on the horizon, we crafted a social media campaign that helped Louisville Slugger knock it out of the park. The result? A 56% increase in revenue compared to the previous year.

Hitting It Out of the Park
To boost sales, we focused on targeting the right audiences. By testing seven different groups, we personalized creative for baseball players, Fastpitch players, and parents, ensuring each group saw messaging tailored to their interests. Remarketing to cart abandoners and users who viewed products without purchasing kept us top-of-mind for those ready to buy, resulting in more conversions.
