Affiliate articles, e-blasts, social media ads, and native banners delivered massive ROI—here’s how we did it.
When you’re launching a product in the outdoor industry, you don’t always need a six-figure budget—what you need is the right audience, the right message, and the right delivery.
In a recent project, we partnered with a crossbow brand looking to boost exposure and drive measurable sales for their flagship model. With a modest budget of $5,000, they wanted impact—and that’s exactly what they got: more than $400,000 in attributed sales through a unified campaign across our media network.
The Campaign Strategy
Affiliate Articles & Product Reviews That Sell
We started with SEO-optimized affiliate content and in field product reviews on two of our digital magazines. These long-form product spotlights didn’t just tell a story—they ranked in search, educated buyers, and directed them to purchase-ready links.
E-Blasts That Cut Through the Noise
We sent a series of targeted e-blasts to over 60,000 subscribers—engaged hunters who trust our voice. These emails saw open rates far above industry averages, and click-throughs that moved the needle fast.
Social Media Ads That Work
We launched paid social ads across our network’s Facebook and Instagram properties. These weren’t “spray and pray” ads—they were optimized for conversions and retargeting.
Banner Ads That Convert
We placed native display ads across our high-traffic editorial sites, keeping the brand in front of the audience as they browsed gear reviews, hunting tactics, and new product drops.
Results That Speak for Themselves
In just a few weeks, the combined campaign generated over $400,000 in sales revenue, directly tracked through affiliate links and e-commerce attribution.
That’s an 80:1 Return on Ad Spend (ROAS).
In the outdoor space, that kind of performance is rare—but repeatable with the right message, medium, and momentum.
