Fanz Collectibles is a sports memorabilia brand that transforms meaningful sports moments into personalized keepsakes. Using proprietary photo-inside viewing lens technology, the brand allows fans to place their own photos inside collectible sports designs, creating one-of-a-kind items that capture memories from youth sports, family traditions, and championship celebrations.

The brand was built on a simple idea: the moments that matter most to sports fans deserve to be preserved in a way that feels as meaningful as the memories themselves.

As awareness of the product grew among sports families, coaches, and fans, the opportunity to scale direct-to-consumer sales became clear. To fully capitalize on that demand, Fanz Collectibles needed a stronger digital infrastructure capable of supporting customer acquisition, conversion, and long-term brand growth.

Challenge

Fanz Collectibles came to Brandhopper Digital with a compelling product and an audience primed for purchase — premium custom sports collectibles that let fans put their favorite photo inside officially inspired designs. What stood in the way of consistent, scalable growth was not the product itself, but the systems supporting its growth.

The Shopify store lacked a conversion-first structure that clearly communicated value while guiding fans toward purchase. Product presentation and messaging were not optimized to boost both conversion and average order value. Paid media was active, but without a disciplined framework for testing, creative iteration, and efficiency modeling, it was difficult to scale without volatility.

Lifecycle email existed — but not as a retention engine designed to increase repeat purchases or customer lifetime value in a predictable way. Acquisition, conversion, creative, and retention were operating in isolation. Consistent, compounding growth required more than tactics — it required an integrated growth system.

"We've blown out sales compared to any other period."

-Robert Braddy

Solution

Brandhopper Digital led a comprehensive growth engagement for Fanz Collectibles built on clarity, structure, and disciplined execution. We started with a complete rebuild of the Shopify website to improve site layout, strengthen product storytelling, and clarify messaging. The purchase journey was optimized to increase average order value and improve conversion rates across core product pages.

Next, we implemented a robust marketing automation system in Klaviyo. Foundational flows were launched — including welcome sequences, post-purchase education, abandoned cart recovery, and segmented promotional campaigns — all aligned with key sports moments and gift-centric buying cycles to support both first-time conversions and retention.

Paid advertising across Meta and Google was rebuilt around enhanced account frameworks designed to capture both high-intent sports memorabilia search traffic and impulse-driven social discovery audiences. Creative direction, audience segmentation, offer testing, and blended efficiency modeling were continuously refined to support efficient customer acquisition and scalable revenue growth.

Brandhopper Digital also led influencer and content creator outreach, script writing, negotiation, and asset development, resulting in performance-ready creative assets for Meta. This effort not only accelerated creative velocity but fueled stronger ad performance and reduced acquisition friction.

Lastly, strategic pricing adjustments and offer structure optimization increased profitability while aligning promotional frameworks with scalable growth goals.


Results

Over the following twelve months, the shift from fragmented execution to a unified growth system produced substantial, measurable impact.

• Online sales grew by 179% year over year.
• Monthly revenue expanded to record-breaking levels
• Conversion rate improved more than 50% year over year as stronger messaging, clearer positioning, and optimization lifted purchase efficiency.
• Profit margins increased by over 30% through strategic pricing and offer refinement.

This growth was not the result of a single campaign or seasonal moment — it was the result of infrastructure. When acquisition, creative, conversion, retention, and pricing operate together inside one cohesive system, growth stops feeling chaotic and begins to compound.

Our Growth Audit evaluates your website revenue architecture, paid acquisition structure, retention systems, and AI visibility. You receive a structured breakdown of bottlenecks, high-leverage opportunities, and recommended next steps.

Both. While each capability can operate independently, the strongest results come from integrating revenue optimization, acquisition, retention, AI visibility, and insights infrastructure into one cohesive system.

AIO, or AI Optimization, ensures your brand is structured for discoverability within AI-driven search and recommendation systems. As consumer discovery shifts toward AI interfaces, authority architecture becomes essential.
