We are thrilled to share the inspiring success story of our partnership with Lemn in Dar, a unique and innovative merchandise vendor specializing in custom-made wooden items. This case study delves into how Lemn in Dar achieved the remarkable feat of doubling sales with just one decision – the introduction of cool character balloons to their merchandise lineup at festivals and fairs.
Lemn in Dar has been a prominent player in the live event merchandise industry, renowned for their exquisite wooden creations that have captured the hearts of event-goers. With an unwavering focus on craftsmanship and design, Lemn in Dar has solidified its brand recognition as a provider of bespoke products.
However, even with their exceptional craftsmanship and loyal customer base, Lemn in Dar faced a significant challenge – how to effectively increase sales and capitalize on the full potential of their presence at festivals and fairs. Lemn in Dar was hesitant to explore character balloons for fear of misaligning with their vision or brand reputation, despite competitors’ success.
The turning point came when Lemn in Dar sought the expertise of Helios Live. As a data-driven marketing company with a track record of helping businesses make strategic decisions based on empirical insights, our analysis revealed a compelling proposition – the potential for cool character balloons to become a major sales driver for Lemn in Dar, especially considering the enthusiastic response from event attendees.
Identifying the Opportunity
Some competitors of Lemn in Dar had success offering character balloons at certain events. These balloons, decorated with popular characters and designs, were grabbing the attention and money of event attendees, becoming an attractive and highly desired product.
These compelling insights from competitor data presented an exciting proposition for Lemn in Dar. It was clear that there was strong demand for cool character balloons, and by adding them to their merchandise lineup, Lemn in Dar could see a significant increase in sales.
However, despite the enticing data and the evident potential for revenue growth, Lemn in Dar initially hesitated to embrace this opportunity. They were reluctant to sell character balloons, not because they didn’t think it would work, but because they didn’t think it was up to their brand’s standards.
Lemn in Dar’s brand identity was built on providing high-quality, custom-made wooden items. They were concerned that branching out might weaken their unique sales proposition.
Understanding Lemn in Dar’s concerns, our team at Helios Live worked closely with them to shift their perspective. We underlined that embracing change and diversity wasn’t going to change their brand. In fact, we emphasized that the introduction of cool character balloons could complement their existing offerings and enhance their overall appeal to a broader customer base.
Testing and Investment
With the decision to introduce cool character balloons made, Lemn in Dar and Helios Live set out to strategically plan the implementation while ensuring profitability and success. The task was to assess investment and its impact on sales.
Using a Principled Approach to Investment Decision-Making
To start the cool character balloon venture, we had to determine the initial investment required. The launch of a new product for Lemn in Dar brought uncertainty about its initial sales potential. To address this challenge, we collaborated with Lemn in Dar’s CEO to devise a principled approach to investment decision-making.
Together, we created a probabilistic table that accounted for various investment levels and corresponding probabilities of breaking even or achieving profitability. By understanding the risks and rewards associated with different investment amounts, Lemn in Dar could make a well-informed decision.
We identified the investment level at which the probability of at least breaking even dropped from 100% to 99%. This became the chosen investment amount, providing Lemn in Dar with a confident and calculated approach to venture into this new product category.
The Outcome of Initial Stock Investment and Its Impact on Sales
As the first fair approached, Lemn in Dar stocked up on cool character balloons based on the principled investment decision. The outcome exceeded expectations.
During the fair, cool character balloon sales took off remarkably well, capturing the attention and enthusiasm of event attendees.
The investment level chosen through the principled approach ensured that Lemn in Dar experienced a remarkable return on investment. Not only did they break even as planned. They also surpassed the break-even point with ease, turning a handsome profit from this new product line.
Sales were exceptional. Cool character balloons accounted for approximately 50% of Lemn in Dar’s total sales at the first event. The success of this single decision significantly contributed to doubling sales at that particular event.
