Episode Synopsis

I’m a sucker for fresh ideas, and this is the most unique marketing case study we’ve covered on the podcast in ages.

In December 2023, Nadine Nethery turned heads with a holiday-themed scavenger hunt on her website aptly named “I’ve Elfed Myself.” The concept? Nine hidden treasures tucked across her site that had her audience clicking, hunting, and completely hooked.

In just 24 days, Nadine grew her list by 50%, generated $9K in revenue from 68 buyers, and secured two new clients — all without spending a dime on ads. 

This innovative marketing campaign also unlocked long-term wins, including word of mouth buzz around the scavenger hunt experience in communities beyond her own, inbound summit and podcast invitations, and a surge in both site sessions and engagement time on her site - hello Google optimization!

Let’s break down the data-driven strategies behind Nadine’s festive marketing magic and the ripple effects it continues to create for her brand.
