From Kevin Rowe, Managing Director at SafetyBuyer

My brother and I started our business over 8 years ago now. We knew enough about our market, but we needed a digital marketing partner. And my, how we dropped lucky. Step in I-COM and fast forward 8 years, we're doing great...

The Challenge - Maintaining Growth in Uncertain Times

SafetyBuyer

These last few years have presented many challenges to B2B retail businesses, especially when it comes to maintaining success in the e-commerce space and achieving growth online.

I-COM's challenge from 2019 onward was to maintain momentum and continually drive SafetyBuyer's online revenue growth, brand awareness, and overall visibility in the face of a challenging economic climate and increased competition.

The Approach

SafetyBuyer

Using a combination of organic SEO and Paid Advertising, I-COM facilitated steady growth for SafetyBuyer from 2019 to date.

Our in-house paid advertising team not only managed to maintain SafetyBuyer's success, but grow it significantly during the period between 2019 and 2023. This was achieved by leveraging Performance Max campaigns to push the most popular products and increasing traffic for the products that Google's systems were neglecting.

Continual data monitoring and testing enabled I-COM to understand what was working in granular detail to ensure that ROAS was carefully maintained and the account was grown steadily and consistently even in a turbulent economic climate.

At the same time, I-COM's organic strategy - with a focus on keyword-driven blog content, on-site optimisations, and linkbuilding - enabled SafetyBuyer to rank on page 1, dramatically improve visibility, and increase revenue.

I-COM has been truly instrumental in bringing SafetyBuyer online as well as establishing us as a key player within our industry. We operate within a highly competitive market and although I had every faith I-COM’s paid search expertise, I would not have envisioned achieving such consistent success throughout the last few years. I-COM’s activities are at the core of all our digital marketing activity and we see the team as a digital extension of our business. SafetyBuyer would not be the successful brand it is without I-COM’s support.
