How DTC helped a small business achieve record growth in just eight months with a custom strategy for paid media ads.
The Client
US National Champion Chris DeJong and Big Ten finalist John Lonegran founded Big Blue Swim School in 2009, an innovative Chicago-based swimming school for children. With four locations and plans for dozens more, Big Blue boasts a unique three-to-one swimmer-to-instructor ratio, allowing children to quickly build swimming confidence with a roster of full-time instructors.
The Objective
Increase the number of subscribed swimmers through free trial sign-ups via online form completions and calls using paid search. The overarching goal for Big Blue was to convert the trials to recurring customers. Big Blue sees a high trial conversion rate with a solid lifetime customer value.

The Solution
