The Challenge

We faced several significant challenges with this campaign:

  • Extremely Tight Timeline: Only 25 days to promote and fill 135 spots for a premium-priced camp.

  • New Product Introduction: As a first-of-its-kind offering, there was no existing brand recognition or testimonials to leverage.

  • Premium Price Point: The high cost of the camp represented a significant financial commitment for families.

  • Dual Target Audience: Needed to appeal simultaneously to both teenagers (the participants) and their parents (the decision-makers).

  • High Funnel Drop-Off: Initial interest was strong, but many potential customers abandoned the registration process before completion.

  • Directed engaged prospects to dedicated landing pages highlighting specific camp programs

  • Provided more detailed information about the camp experience and benefits

Bottom of Funnel (Conversions) - 30% of Budget:
