Background
Mike Wolfe is the star of The History Channel’s highest rated show of all time — American Pickers. Since he was waist-high, Mike has been picking through junk looking for treasure, and since becoming a TV personality Mike has earned the well deserved reputation as one of American’s best foragers.
Challenge
Advance Mike’s new found fame and build his Antique Archaeology brand and business.
Solution
SimplifiedSolutions developed a suite of online marketing solutions which included a new Antique Archaeology website, an e-commerce store, several social media platforms, a content marketing campaign, and an email marketing campaign, all aimed at building Mike’s customer loyalty and generating revenue.
Results
The launch of the new website and social media platforms created a strong reputation winning Mike 120,000 avid fans on Facebook, 50,000 devoted Twitter followers, and over 400,000 monthly website visitors.
Additionally, the email campaigns produce a 50% open rate with a 75% click through rate to key landing pages. Through Facebook advertising and social media, Antique Archaeology gear is generating incremental revenue for merchandise. SimplifiedSolutions is currently working on a kid-focused social community website, books, and marketing for the two retail store locations.
