$681K Revenue + Lead Generation Mastery (Exceptional Community)

Superfresh Clothes

Revolutionized lead generation for unique 24-hour exclusive drop model while generating exceptional revenue. IMPORTANT: These results are far from typical - don't expect this. Major credit to LaMar & LaRon who've been building a community-heavy brand since 2008 with 95% customer return rate.

💰

$681,714 total sales generated

💸

$48,758 total ad spend

📧

9,200+ leads at $0.86 each

🏆

95% customer return rate

Challenge

LaMar's unique 24-hour exclusive drop model made traditional revenue scaling impossible. However, LaMar & LaRon have been building a community-heavy brand since 2008 with an unheard-of 95% customer return rate. The challenge was optimizing their lead generation while respecting their unique business model.

Solution

Focused exclusively on lead generation campaigns to build email/SMS list for nurturing new customers into the community. Developed educational content to help newcomers understand the exclusive drop system. Optimized for cost efficiency and community growth rather than immediate revenue scaling.

Impact

Generated $681,714 in total sales on $48,758 ad spend while building 9,200+ new subscribers at $0.86 per lead (down from $3.20). CRITICAL TRANSPARENCY: These are far from typical results and you should not expect this. Our numbers, though indicative of good ads management, are heavily skewed because of LaMar's exceptionally strong existing audience built over 15+ years. This is what you should strive to build - but these numbers are included to inspire you that this is a real brand achieving real results.

"Very impressed by Graduated Money. PSMIITH is a top-notch guy who knows what he's talking about. I thought I was just hiring an ads team, but they came in with the most creative strategies to help expand my vision. They even encouraged me to start coaching, which became a whole new business. It really felt like family, and I'd recommend them to anybody looking for creative mastery."
