From Marketplace Reliance to a Stronger Direct-to-Consumer Strategy

The Client Challenge

A growing battery-powered lawn equipment manufacturer had already established a strong market presence. Their products were selling successfully on Amazon, supported by promotional products and Point-of-Purchase (POP) displays.

But continued growth was creating new challenges.

The company was heavily dependent on third-party sales channels, which limited its ability to capture higher margins and build direct relationships with customers. At the same time, the brand experience had become fragmented across retail displays, promotional materials, Amazon, and other digital touchpoints.

They didn’t simply need more marketing. They needed a clearer strategy for how sales, marketing, brand, technology, and customer experience could work together.

Looking Beyond the Immediate Problem

At MR Consulting, we don’t start by assuming the most obvious problem is the real problem.

We stepped back and evaluated the client’s entire growth funnel—looking at how customers discovered the brand, experienced it, made purchasing decisions, and ultimately converted.

That broader perspective revealed an opportunity to create a direct-to-consumer channel while strengthening the brand and supporting—not disrupting—the company’s existing sales channels.

The MR Consulting Solution

Working as a trusted extension of the client’s team, we developed and helped execute a long-term roadmap focused on four areas:

Direct-to-Consumer E-Commerce

We built a custom WooCommerce storefront that created a streamlined direct purchasing experience and gave the company greater ownership of the customer relationship.

Online Marketing Strategy

We oversaw and executed online marketing initiatives designed to drive qualified traffic directly to the new storefront and support continued sales growth.

Brand Consistency

We aligned messaging and visual presentation across POP displays, promotional materials, and online touchpoints, creating a more cohesive experience wherever customers encountered the brand.

Collaborative Execution

We brought together our internal team and trusted network of specialists to align business strategy, technology, marketing, brand, and execution around the same goals.

The best results come from collective expertise.

Rather than handing the client a strategy and walking away, MR Consulting helped connect the right people, manage the moving pieces, and keep the bigger business objective at the center of the work.

The Impact

The result wasn’t simply a new website. It was a stronger sales and marketing foundation that opened a new path for growth.

Along with tripling overall sales, the company:

Revenue

Tripled overall sales through the establishment and expansion of direct online channels.

Customer Relationships

Created a direct path to customers beyond Amazon, supporting stronger relationships and opportunities for improved margins.

Brand Consistency

Established greater alignment across POP displays, promotional products, and the online storefront.

Strategy + Execution

The Bigger Picture

This engagement is a great example of why we look beyond individual tactics.

What initially appears to be a website, marketing, or e-commerce need can reveal a much larger opportunity when you look at the whole business.

By identifying the gaps, creating clarity around what needed to happen next, and bringing the right expertise together, we helped the client build a stronger foundation for sustainable growth.
