Hoffman Richter

Hoffman Richter has top quality products, but their marketing wasn’t top level. It focused on numbers and technical terms. We decided to turn that strategy on its head. Using a story-based marketing approach, we increased page conversions by 60% and promotion revenue by 95%.

The Premium Treatment

Hoffman Richter decided it was time to give their premium products the treatment they deserved. To do this, we decided to tell each product’s story, rather than just list its features. When telling a story in marketing, it’s crucial to take the potential customer from the BEFORE to the AFTER state. We weren’t just selling a product. We were selling a transformation.

Creating a Legacy

We wanted to set this knife apart by telling the story of the type of person who would own it. For that person, The Wolf isn’t just a knife. It’s a companion, at their side when they need it and ready to pass down the family line when the time is right. Aided by this campaign, The Wolf became one of Hoffman Richter’s most profitable products, doubling the average revenue for an initial product promotion and continuing to yield excellent returns for many promotions after that.

Actions Vs Words

Actions speak louder than words, so that’s exactly what we wanted to convey with these product videos. Rather than just list the features and show some glamor shots in studio, we wanted to get these products out in the real world and show the viewer just how valuable and versatile they are.

One Shovel to Rule Them All

The Titan Shovel product video was a finalist for Product Video of the Year at The Internet Retailer Awards. Here, we wanted to highlight all the incredible features of the Titan Shovel. To do that, it was crucial to show the shovel in real-life scenarios. From digging holes to starting fires, this shovel can do it all.
