Look Beyond Traffic.
Follow Business Growth.
For a screen printing shop, growth may mean more local businesses requesting quotes. For an apparel brand, it may mean more shoppers finding products and completing purchases.
Our case studies examine both: building an online presence that generates inquiries and improving ecommerce performance through website improvements, SEO, and advertising. Each story starts with the business’s goals and connects the marketing work to reported outcomes.
Stronger Ecommerce Sales.
Venus Williams | Website, SEO & Google Ads
Venus Williams’ apparel line had an established presence in physical stores, but ecommerce performance was falling behind. An outdated website, usability problems, and disconnected inventory systems limited the online shopping experience.
Thrive built a new website, improved inventory integration, and launched coordinated SEO and Google Ads campaigns to support product discovery and online sales.
Results:
- 334% increase in SEO traffic
- More than 200% increase in quality advertising traffic
- 110% improvement in advertising click-through rate
- More than 300% increase in online sales in the first year
An Online Presence to Support a Growing Print Shop
A family-owned print shop had operated for six years using referrals and Facebook for exposure. After investing in an eight-color automatic press, the owners needed more inquiries to support their expanded production capacity.
Thrive built the foundation through:
- A professional, responsive website
- Tools to support future website growth
- A budget-conscious SEO campaign
- Search visibility focused on local printing needs
From Referral-Only to New Business Calls Every Week
The new website and SEO campaign gave the shop a way to reach customers beyond its existing referral network.
- 105 Google rankings within three months
- Approximately 250 Google rankings at six months and beyond
- More than 1,000 monthly website visits at six months and beyond
- New business calls every week
After nine months, the owners paused the SEO campaign because they were too busy to keep accepting new customers.
A New Growth Strategy for a Family Apparel Brand
A family-run parent-and-baby clothing brand grew quickly in its first year and expanded into a larger warehouse. Sales then fell sharply, and its existing advertising approach was struggling to restore growth.
Thrive addressed the problem through:
- Website improvements supporting easier shopping
- SEO opportunities across the site
- A stronger organic search presence
- Google Ads campaigns reaching new customers
- A shift toward channels with room to generate additional sales
The brand continued managing its social advertising internally while Thrive focused on SEO, website improvements, and Google Ads.
Rebuilding Revenue Through Search and Advertising
Website improvements, SEO, and a new Google Ads strategy helped the brand regain momentum.
- 132% increase in SEO rankings
- More than 60% increase in organic traffic
- 68% increase in revenue within five months
- Revenue and profits more than doubled by 12 months
New sales from Google Ads began at approximately $1,000 per day and grew to between $3,000 and $10,000 per day.
Connecting the Shopping Experience With Product Marketing
For EleVen by Venus Williams, attracting more visitors was only part of the challenge. The website also needed to make shopping easier and better reflect product availability.
Thrive brought those pieces together through:
- A completely rebuilt ecommerce website
- Updated branding and product presentation
- Usability improvements
- Inventory integration and stock notices
- Promotions informed by inventory availability
- Coordinated SEO and Google Ads campaigns
More Product Discovery. Stronger Online Sales.
The new website and coordinated marketing campaigns improved search visibility, advertising engagement, and online sales.
- 334% increase in SEO traffic
- 110% improvement in advertising click-through rate
- More than 200% increase in quality advertising traffic
- More than 300% increase in online sales in the first year
The work connected product marketing with a more usable shopping experience and stronger inventory visibility.

What Could Stronger Marketing Change for Your Business?
Start with the part of your growth process that needs attention.
Your business may already have strong products or production capabilities and still face challenges that limit growth:
- Local customers struggle to find your printing services
- Too much new business depends on referrals
- Product pages attract too little search traffic
- Shoppers leave without purchasing
- Advertising struggles to reach new customers
- Reporting makes it difficult to connect spending with sales
Thrive helps identify those gaps and build a strategy around your products, services, customers, and growth priorities.
Questions About Our Apparel & Screen Printing Case Studies

Can our company expect the same results?
Each study reflects a specific engagement. Your opportunities depend on your starting position, competition, products, pricing, budget, website, and capacity to handle additional demand.
Were these results produced by SEO alone?
The print shop study focuses on a new website and SEO. The apparel studies combine website improvements, organic search work, and Google Ads.
Did Thrive manage every advertising channel?
The scope varied by engagement. In the family apparel study, social advertising continued to be managed internally while Thrive focused on website improvements, SEO, and Google Ads.
