E-commerce Case Studies

Challenge

Attract health-conscious consumers interested in alkaline water benefits and sustainable brands. Waiakea needed to break through a saturated beverage market and build a direct relationship with potential customers outside of retail distribution channels.

Solution

Hosted a partner giveaway with 8+ complementary lifestyle brands, leveraging cross-promotion and shared audiences. Each partner promoted the campaign to their own email lists and social followings, creating a multiplier effect that dramatically expanded reach beyond what any single brand could achieve alone.

Challenge

Growth stalled despite healthy metrics due to strict advertising regulations in the cannabis industry. Traditional paid acquisition channels like Facebook and Google Ads were unavailable, so Birch + Fog needed new top-of-funnel traffic sources that didn't rely on paid social advertising.
