Real campaigns. Real results. That's what happens when strategy met execution.

Campaign 1: The Email Nurture Sequence That Increased Customer LTV by 35%

The Problem

At Veludo Studio, we had a one-and-done problem. Clients would hire us for a single project, get their 3D renders, pay the invoice, and disappear. We were constantly hunting for new clients instead of maximizing the value of existing relationships.

The numbers:

• Average customer: 1.2 projects total

• Repeat purchase rate: 18%

• Revenue from existing clients: minimal

The Solution

I built an 8-email automated nurture sequence designed to keep us top-of-mind and demonstrate ongoing value. But instead of generic "check out our new work" emails, I made them educational and strategic.

The sequence structure:

Week 1 - Email 1: "Your Project is Complete—Here's How to Maximize Its Impact"

• Tips on using renders across different marketing channels

• Example: How one client used their renders to generate 47 leads

Week 2 - Email 2: "3 Signs Your Property Marketing Needs an Update"

• Educational content about when to refresh visuals

• Soft pitch: "We're here when you need us"

Week 3 - Email 3: Case Study

• Detailed breakdown of a successful client's campaign

• Results they achieved using our renders

Week 4 - Email 4: "Industry Trends in Property Visualization"

• What's new in architectural rendering

• Positioned us as thought leaders

Week 5 - Email 5: Limited-Time Offer

• 15% discount on their next project (existing client rate)

• Clear CTA with booking link

Week 6 - Email 6: "How [Client's Industry] is Evolving"

• Personalized based on their industry segment (real estate, architecture, development)

• Relevant insights and trends

Week 8 - Email 7: Social Proof

• Testimonials from similar clients

• Portfolio updates

Week 12 - Email 8: Direct Outreach

• Personal check-in from account manager

• "What projects are you working on?"

• Offer consultation call

The Execution

• Built in Mailchimp with Salesforce integration

• Segmented by client industry and project type

• Set up trigger: launches 7 days after project completion

• A/B tested subject lines (best performer: questions vs. statements)

• Personalized first name, company name, and project type in each email

The Results

Revenue Impact:

• $47,000 in additional revenue from repeat clients over 6 months

• Average customer projects: 1.2 → 2.1

• Repeat purchase rate: 18% → 42%

• Customer Lifetime Value: +35%

Engagement Metrics:

• Average open rate: 34% (vs. 24% for one-off campaigns)

• Click-through rate: 6.8%

• Reply rate: 11% (clients actually responded and started conversations)

Business Impact:

• 19 previous clients re-engaged and booked new projects

• 3 clients became "advocates" and referred new business

• Sales cycle for repeat clients: 45 days → 12 days (they already trusted us)

What I Learned

The magic was in the timing and tone.

Clients weren't ignoring us because they didn't like our work—they simply forgot we existed when their next project came up 6 months later. The nurture sequence kept us in their consideration set without being pushy.

The educational approach (not just "buy from us again") built goodwill. When clients finally did need another render, we were the obvious choice.

Campaign 2: Landing Page Optimization That Lifted Conversions by 42%

The Problem

We were driving decent traffic to our website through Google Ads and LinkedIn, but the conversion rate was painful: 12%.

For every 100 people landing on our "Contact Us" page, only 12 were filling out the form. That meant we were burning ad budget on visitors who bounced without taking action.

The Diagnosis

I ran Hotjar recordings and discovered the issues:

Old page problems:

• Generic "About Us" content that nobody cared about

• No clear value proposition above the fold

• Form asked for too much information (8 fields including budget range)

• No social proof or portfolio examples visible

• Mobile experience was broken (60% of traffic was mobile)

• CTA said "Submit" (least inspiring button text ever)

User behavior:

• Average time on page: 23 seconds

• 73% of users never scrolled past hero section

• Form abandonment rate: 61% (started form, didn't finish)

The Solution

I completely rebuilt the landing page with conversion psychology in mind.

New page structure:

Hero Section:

• Before: "Welcome to Veludo Studio - Your Visualization Partner"

• After: "Get Photorealistic 3D Renders in 48 Hours—Guaranteed"

• Added 3 trust badges: "500+ Projects Delivered" | "48-Hour Turnaround" | "100% Satisfaction Guarantee"

• Single CTA button: "See Pricing & Examples"

Social Proof Section:

• Logos of 8 well-known clients

• "Trusted by leading developers and architects across Australia"

• 4.9/5 star rating with link to testimonials

Value Proposition Section:

• Three columns: Speed | Quality | Support

• Icons + brief description of each benefit

• Addressed the #1 objection: "We deliver on time, every time"

Portfolio Examples:

• 6 before/after comparison sliders

• Categorized by industry: Residential | Commercial | Architecture

• Click to view full case study

Simplified Form:

• Reduced from 8 fields to 4: Name, Email, Project Type (dropdown), Message

• Added: "Get a response within 4 hours"

• Button text: "Get My Free Quote" (instead of "Submit")

• Added privacy note: "We'll never share your information"

Mobile Optimization:

• Single-column layout

• Larger tap targets for buttons

• Form auto-fills with keyboard optimization

• Reduced image sizes for faster load time

The Testing Process

I didn't just launch and hope. I A/B tested specific elements:

Test 1: Headlines

• Control: "Welcome to Veludo Studio"

• Variant A: "Get Photorealistic 3D Renders in 48 Hours"

• Variant B: "Transform Your Designs Into Stunning Visuals"

• Winner: Variant A (+27% conversion vs. control)

Test 2: CTA Button Copy

• "Submit" vs. "Get My Free Quote" vs. "Start My Project"

• Winner: "Get My Free Quote" (+18% clicks)

Test 3: Form Length

• 8 fields vs. 4 fields

• Winner: 4 fields (+34% completion rate)

The Results

Conversion Metrics:

• Overall conversion rate: 12% → 17% (+42% improvement)

• Mobile conversion rate: 8% → 14% (+75% improvement)

• Form completion rate: 39% → 73%

• Average time on page: 23 sec → 1 min 47 sec

Business Impact:

• Generated 31 additional qualified leads per month (same traffic volume)

• Cost per lead: $142 → $98 (31% reduction)

• Sales qualified leads: 67% of total (vs. 54% before)

• Revenue attributed to page optimization: $52,000 over 6 months

User Behavior Changes:

• Bounce rate: 68% → 41%

• Pages per session: 1.2 → 2.4 (users explored more of site)

• Return visitor rate: +19% (people came back to compare)

What I Learned

Clarity beats creativity every time.

The old page tried to be clever and "brand-focused." The new page was direct: Here's what we do, how fast we do it, and what it looks like. That's what converted.

Less is more with forms. We worried that a shorter form would attract lower-quality leads, but the opposite happened. Serious buyers were happy to provide minimal info upfront, then discuss details on a call.

Mobile-first isn't optional. 60% of our traffic was mobile, and we were losing half of them because the experience sucked. Fixing mobile alone probably accounted for 20% of the conversion lift.

The 48-hour guarantee was the hook. Every test showed that emphasizing speed outperformed emphasizing quality or price. In B2B services, speed is often the most underrated differentiator.

Campaign 3: LinkedIn B2B Ads That Cut CAC by 22%

The Problem

Our customer acquisition cost was out of control: $287 per new client.

We were running basic LinkedIn ads targeting "architects" and "real estate developers," but the campaigns were hemorrhaging budget with mediocre results.

The broken campaign:

• Broad targeting (50,000+ audience size)

• Generic ad creative: stock photos + company logo

• Weak copy: "Need 3D renders? Contact us today!"

• Landing page: generic homepage

• No lead magnet, just straight "contact us"

• Cost per lead: $156

• Lead-to-customer rate: 38%

• Effective CAC: $287

The Solution

I completely rebuilt the LinkedIn strategy with precision targeting and better creative.

Audience Refinement:

Before:

• Job title: "Architect" OR "Real Estate" (massive, unfocused audience)

After: Created 3 hyper-specific audience segments:

Segment 1: Architecture Firm Decision Makers

• Job titles: Principal Architect, Design Director, Partner

• Company size: 20-200 employees

• Industry: Architecture & Planning

• Seniority: Manager, Director, VP

• Audience size: 2,400

Segment 2: Property Developer Marketing Teams

• Job titles: Marketing Director, Head of Marketing, Marketing Manager

• Industry: Real Estate, Property Development

• Company size: 50-500 employees

• Audience size: 1,800

Segment 3: Real Estate Agencies (Premium)

• Job function: Marketing, Business Development

• Company names: [Targeted top 50 agencies by hand]

• Audience size: 980

Creative Strategy:

Instead of generic ads, I created service-specific campaigns:

Ad Set 1: "Speed Wins Deals"

• Visual: Split-screen showing plain floor plan → photorealistic render

• Headline: "Close Deals 40% Faster With Renders Delivered in 48 Hours"

• Body: "While competitors wait weeks, you're already marketing."

• CTA: Download case study

Ad Set 2: "Portfolio That Converts"

• Visual: Before/after slider of property visualization

• Headline: "See Why Top Developers Trust Veludo for High-Stakes Projects"

• Body: "$2.4B in property sold using our renders"

• CTA: View portfolio

Ad Set 3: Social Proof

• Visual: Client testimonial quote overlaid on project image

• Headline: "'These renders generated 127 qualified buyer inquiries in 3 weeks'"

• Body: Real client quote with name and company

• CTA: Read full case study

Landing Page Strategy:

Instead of sending everyone to homepage, created 3 dedicated landing pages matching each ad:

• Speed page: Emphasized 48-hour turnaround + rush options

• Portfolio page: Gallery of best work categorized by property type

• Case study page: Full breakdown of client results

Each page had ONE goal: Get them to book a free consultation call.

Lead Magnet:

Added downloadable resource: "The Ultimate Guide to Architectural Visualization for Property Marketing"

18-page PDF covering:

• When to use renders vs. photography

• How to brief a visualization studio

• Pricing benchmarks

• ROI case studies

This generated email leads we could nurture vs. relying only on immediate conversions.

The Execution

Budget Allocation:

• Started with $50/day per audience segment ($150/day total)

• Let campaigns run for 2 weeks to gather data

• Killed underperforming ads, scaled winners

• Final budget: 60% to Segment 1, 30% to Segment 2, 10% to Segment 3

Testing:

• A/B tested 12 different ad variations

• Tested single image vs. carousel (carousel won +23% CTR)

• Tested different CTAs: "Learn More" vs. "Download Guide" vs. "View Examples"

• Winner: "View Examples" for Portfolio ads, "Download Guide" for educational content

The Results

Cost Metrics:

• Cost per lead: $156 → $87 (44% reduction)

• Lead-to-customer conversion rate: 38% → 51% (higher quality leads)

• Customer Acquisition Cost: $287 → $223 (22% reduction)

Campaign Performance:

• CTR: 0.91% → 2.34%

• Conversion rate: 6.2% → 11.8%

• Cost per click: $8.40 → $4.20

Business Impact:

• Generated 47 qualified leads over 4 months

• Closed 24 new clients (51% close rate)

• Revenue from campaign: $187,000

• Marketing ROI: 5.6:1

Best Performing Creative:

• Winner: Before/after carousel showcasing residential projects

• CTR: 3.1%

• Conversion rate: 14.2%

• This single ad generated 19 leads at $67 CPL

What I Learned

Narrow targeting beats broad reach in B2B.

When we targeted "anyone in real estate," we got clicks from unqualified people (junior employees, students, people just browsing). When we narrowed to decision-makers at companies that could actually afford our services, everything improved: CTR, conversion rate, lead quality, and close rate.

Creative matters more than you think on LinkedIn.

Everyone says "LinkedIn is professional" so they post boring ads. The before/after visuals and client testimonial ads crushed generic stock photos because they actually stopped the scroll.

Lead magnets build pipeline.

Not everyone is ready to buy today. The downloadable guide captured 31 email leads who weren't ready to request a quote yet. We nurtured them via email, and 7 eventually converted 2-4 months later.

Segment-specific landing pages 2x conversion rate.

When ad messaging matched landing page content exactly (same headline, same visual style, same CTA), conversions doubled vs. sending everyone to homepage.

The Common Thread

Three different campaigns. Three different tactics. But one underlying principle:

Specificity wins.

Generic messaging, broad targeting, and one-size-fits-all approaches waste budget and dilute results. The more precisely you understand your audience and tailor your approach, the better your ROI.

Whether it's email sequences, landing pages, or paid ads, the campaigns that worked were the ones that spoke directly to a specific person with a specific problem at a specific moment.

That's the difference between marketing that costs money and marketing that makes money.
