DNINE, inspired by the journey of star Indian cricketer Deepak Chahar, is committed to revolutionizing sports gear with a focus on innovation. The company’s first product line, cricketing shoes, is designed in close collaboration with athletes to address critical pain points like footwork and injury prevention. By integrating cutting-edge technology and a scientific approach, DNINE develops performance-enhancing, comfortable, and durable products, empowering cricketers at all levels to reach their full potential. |
DNINE Shoes, inspired by Indian fast bowler and IPL star Deepak Chahar, aimed to make a strong entry into the highly competitive Sports Gear market. They aimed to increase brand awareness and drive direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales by targeting emerging cricket talent and coaches in smaller cities, where these influencers play a crucial role in sports gear recommendations. |
Our strategy focused on leveraging data-driven performance marketing to reach a highly targeted audience and convert interest into sales for DNINE Shoes. We implemented the following tactics:
1. Precise Audience Targeting:
We segmented our audience based on key interests, focusing specifically on cricket enthusiasts. Our targeting included two primary groups:
Cricket Aspirants and Early-Stage Players: We tailored ads for young cricketers in smaller cities, highlighting how DNINE Shoes enhance performance and are ideal for their growing cricket needs.
Coaches and Trainers: We created targeted ads that spoke directly to coaches and trainers, showcasing DNINE Shoes’ high performance and quality, making them a great choice to recommend to their students.
2. A/B Testing of Ad Formats
To optimize ad performance, we employed A/B testing across various formats to determine what resonated most with our target audience allowing us to refine our approach thus increasing the efficiency of our budget.
3. Strategic Geographic Focus
We identified that smaller cities were underserved and focused our efforts on Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas where interest was growing. By targeting local cricket academies, schools, and clubs, we reached early-stage players and their coaches—key influencers in buying decisions. This localized performance marketing approach effectively tapped into a high-intent audience, boosting sales and driving growth.
4. Ads That Delivered Results
We used targeted ad formats—offers, features, endorsements, and expert insights—to optimize performance and drive sales.
The results were spectacularly impressive: DNINE achieved a stellar return on ad spend, saw significant rise in purchases, and reached an astonishingly broad audience.
Our advanced performance marketing strategies and expertly crafted ads proved to be game-changers. This remarkable success not only demonstrates the power of our targeted approach but also highlights the transformative impact of innovative marketing strategies.
The exceptional results set a new standard for what can be achieved in the D2C space, showcasing the effectiveness of cutting-edge tactics and precise execution.
