Behind the scenes: How we helped The Pallet Studio increase website sales by 152% through simplicity, structure and seasonal strategy

When The Pallet Studio launched their new website, it looked beautiful — but customers were getting lost. The navigation was too complex, product categories weren’t intuitive, and people who wanted to buy simply couldn’t find what they needed. In short the website wasn’t working hard enough for them.

This year website sales have increased by 152% when compared to the whole of 2025, with phone enquiries, social media enquiries and repeat customers rising too.

This is the story of how simplifying, restructuring and consistently optimising their digital activity has supported growth.

A website that needed less noise — Not more features

The Pallet Studio didn’t need a bigger website. They needed a clearer one.

Our first priority was to reorganise their product structure so customers could self‑serve without having to call, message or guess their way through the site. We focused on:

  • Streamlining product categories

  • Reducing unnecessary steps in the buying journey

  • Making key products easier to find

  • Improving product descriptions and imagery

  • Creating a logical flow that mirrors how customers actually shop

This wasn’t about adding more content. It was about removing friction. Once the website became simpler, website sales started to increase.

PPC built around real customer behaviour

We helped with the initial set up of their PPC account. We have kept their cost‑per‑click consistent, but shifted the strategy to balance always‑on campaigns with seasonal bursts that match customer demand. This included:

  • Adding new campaigns for high‑intent seasonal products (like garden furniture)

  • Improving ad copy to reflect simplified product categories

  • Ensuring tracking was accurate so every sale could be attributed

The seasonal campaigns have been particularly powerful — converting at a high rate and supporting the steady year‑round activity.

Onsite SEO that supports simplicity

With the website structure and product listing clear, SEO became the engine that drives consistent visibility. Our monthly SEO work focuses on:

  • Updating metadata across priority product pages

  • Improving category descriptions to match search intent

  • Fixing technical issues that were limiting rankings

  • Strengthening internal linking

  • Refreshing content to reflect the simplified navigation

This steady onsite SEO work has helped The Pallet Studio climb search results and attract more organic traffic.

Ecommerce support that makes the website work harder

Our ongoing ecommerce activity ensures the website continues to evolve with customer behaviour. This includes:

  • Reviewing analytics to identify friction points

  • Improving product presentation

  • Updating seasonal content

Every improvement compounds. Every tweak makes the buying journey smoother. And every month, the website becomes a stronger sales tool.

The ripple effect: More enquiries, more confidence, more sales

The uplift hasn’t only come from the website.

We’ve also seen:

  • More phone enquiries

  • More social media messages

  • More returning customers

  • More conversions from people who previously abandoned the site

When your digital presence becomes simpler and more intuitive, customers feel more confident reaching out and more confident buying.
