A regional craft retailer with 8 locations needed to increase guest traffic during its busiest season. A lack of existing media presence meant an uphill battle against national chains with greater top-of-mind awareness. Using Native Bank Advertising, Charlton Marketing delivered a 9:1 return on ad spend and more than $245,000 in incremental sales.

The Client

Craft Warehouse is a regional craft store serving eight locations in Oregon, Washington, and Utah. The retailer appeals to crafters of all levels with a project-focused experience, choosing not to compete with big-box competitors’ deep-discount pricing strategy.

The Challenge

Help Craft Warehouse gain market share quickly, with out compromising product margins or brand DNA.

The Solution

Launch a Native Bank Advertising campaign to create consumer trial and increase share of wallet with current customers.

“To be honest, I was skeptical of the Native Bank program going in. We didn’t know what it was or how it worked, which was a little scary. The Charlton Marketing team did a great job of explaining everything, listening to our concerns, and managing the entire process. It ended up being a huge success, and we’re still seeing returns.”
