Sea Moss and Tings
Working closely with Sea Moss and Tings, we connected them with local Grenada farmers and developed an online platform to showcase their high-quality, locally-sourced sea moss
about
Sea Moss and Tings is a growing business dedicated to providing a diverse range of high-quality, ethically sourced wellness products, including sea moss gels, powders, teas, and more. Founded by Tanya Brinson, the company is passionate about the health benefits of natural ingredients and committed to delivering sustainable products to its customers. While having an existing online presence, Tanya recognized the need to modernize her website, expand her product line, and implement more effective marketing strategies to reach a wider audience.
Problem
Sea Moss and Tings’ existing website, built in 2021, was becoming outdated and lacked the functionality and performance needed to support the company’s growth. The key challenges included:
While Sea Moss and Tings had established a modest online presence and was generating respectable traffic for a small business with limited marketing efforts, Tanya recognized the need to scale her operations and reach a significantly larger audience. The key challenges were:
- Limited Scalability with Current Marketing Efforts: The existing marketing strategies were primarily organic and relied on Tanya’s individual efforts. This approach, while effective to a point, presented limitations in terms of scalability and reaching a wider market. Tanya recognized that to achieve substantial growth, a more robust and strategic marketing approach was required.
- Need for Professional Marketing Expertise: While Tanya had successfully built a foundation, she recognized the need for professional marketing expertise to take the business to the next level. This included developing and implementing comprehensive strategies across various channels, such as SEO, social media, content marketing, and email marketing.
- Untapped Market Potential: Despite generating decent traffic, Sea Moss and Tings was not fully capitalizing on its market potential. There was a significant opportunity to expand brand awareness, reach new customer segments, and increase sales through strategic marketing initiatives.
- Need for a Cohesive Brand Experience: While the website served its basic function, there was a need to create a more cohesive and engaging brand experience across all online touchpoints. This included improving the website’s design and functionality to better showcase the brand’s story, values, and product offerings.
Solution
We partnered with Tanya to revitalize Sea Moss and Tings’ online presence and support her business growth through a multi-faceted approach:
- Modern Website Design & Development: We developed a new, high-performance website with a focus on speed, mobile responsiveness, and user experience. The new site provides a seamless browsing and purchasing experience, improving conversion rates and customer satisfaction.
- Enhanced SEO Implementation: We implemented advanced SEO techniques, including keyword research, on-page optimization, and link building, to improve the website’s organic search rankings and increase visibility to potential customers.
- Comprehensive Marketing Strategy: We developed and implemented a comprehensive marketing strategy encompassing:
- Social Media Marketing: Creating engaging content and running targeted advertising campaigns to build brand awareness and drive traffic to the website.
- Content Marketing (Blogs): Creating informative blog posts and articles about the benefits of sea moss and other related topics to establish Sea Moss and Tings as a thought leader and attract organic traffic.
- Email Marketing: Develop targeted email campaigns to nurture leads, promote new products, and drive repeat purchases.
- Product Development and Packaging Support: We assisted Tanya with the development of new products and updated packaging, ensuring they aligned with her brand identity and met market demand.
- Sourcing and Compliance Support: We facilitated a sourcing trip to Grenada in May 2024, connecting Tanya directly with local harvesters of organically processed sea moss in the pristine waters of Grenada. This ensured a consistent supply of high-quality raw materials. We also provided guidance and support to maintain FDA compliance for all products and packaging.
Results
The Long-Term Vision & Initial Goals:
Our long-term vision is to establish Sea Moss and Tings as a leading brand in the sea moss market, recognized for its high-quality products, ethical sourcing, and commitment to customer health. Within the first six months, we focused on achieving the following initial goals:
- Improved Website Performance and User Experience (Successfully Implemented): Our goal was to create a faster, more user-friendly website with improved loading times, enhanced mobile responsiveness, and a more intuitive user interface. We successfully launched the new website, which incorporates these improvements. We are now actively monitoring website analytics to track performance and gather data on user behavior to further optimize the site for conversions and engagement.
- Increase Organic Reach and Visibility (SEO Implementation in Progress): Our goal is to significantly improve the website’s organic search rankings and increase visibility to potential customers. We have implemented a comprehensive SEO strategy, including keyword research, on-page optimization, technical SEO improvements, and content optimization. We are now closely monitoring key metrics such as keyword rankings, organic traffic, and backlink growth to assess the effectiveness of our strategies and make adjustments as needed.
- Build Brand Awareness and Engagement (Successfully Launched): Our goal was to establish a strong social media presence and engage with customers through content and email marketing. We have successfully launched active social media profiles, implemented a content calendar, and started building an email list. Early engagement metrics are promising.
- Expanded Product Line and Enhanced Packaging (Ongoing): We are in the progress of launching new teas, dried sea moss, and sea moss powder—expanding the product line beyond the previously offered gel and capsules—with new, compliant packaging designed to enhance brand appeal. This expansion addressed the shipping challenges posed by summer heat, which made shipping sea moss gel impractical.
- Establish a Sustainable Supply Chain (Successfully Established): Our goal was to secure a consistent supply of high-quality sea moss. The sourcing trip to Grenada in May 2024 was highly successful, establishing direct relationships with local harvesters and securing a reliable source of organically processed sea moss.
