Background
HappyBumCo.com is a wellness brand specializing in gut health and detox products, particularly home enema kits and natural health solutions. Despite having a unique and high-demand product, they faced key growth challenges:
Low brand awareness in a niche market High customer acquisition costs (CAC) on paid ads Limited organic engagement & reliance on paid traffic Underutilized email/SMS marketing for retention Low conversion rates on first-time buyers
HappyBumCo.com needed a scalable, data-driven advertising strategy that would not only increase sales but also establish trust in a sensitive wellness niche
