The challenge

Sportsman's and Max Connect partnered in June 2021 to grow an engaged follower base for Facebook and Instagram while also generating a strong return on ad spend (ROAS) for Paid Social Ads. Sportsman's Instagram and Facebook following was originally 56K and 160K respectively.

The approach

The strategy was to deploy a bi-weekly contest series called "Follow Fridays" which showcased popular products that consumers could win if they engaged with the content by liking, tagging a friend, and following the account. The campaign also ran Static and Dynamic Retargeting Paid Social Ads.

The results

After seven months of the campaign, Sportsman's Warehouse achieved a 55% lift in follower growth alongside a 7X ROAS on paid social. This corresponded with attributable monthly sales reaching over $1M.
