Happy 12 Month Anniversary to this Tweet

12 months to the day, we jokingly shot this tweet out.

“I don’t see you doing a worse job for us than other people have done. I have low expectations.”

Client Testimonial

This was something that was jokingly said to us during a project kickoff, but what has happened in the 12 months since this was said has been pretty remarkable.

Here’s a few key points that worth talking about:

Overall Traffic – Doubled
Largest Online Sale – Happened
Digital Sales – Doubled

Now, although these aren’t standard results, this is kind of a big deal for us stepping up to share our skills with clients.
