The Challenge

Starting From a Blank Page — Literally

“There was no website before the project.”

SB Fragrances & Oud had built a loyal in-store following in Garland, Texas, but no equivalent digital infrastructure — no product pages, no checkout, no way for a nationwide customer to discover or buy a single bottle. This was not a redesign. Everything below was built from zero.

01

Professional Online Identity

A credible, premium brand presentation for a category that sells on visual trust.

02

E-Commerce Infrastructure & Checkout

A real path from product page to a fulfilled order.

03

Product Discovery & Category Architecture

A structure that helps shoppers find the right scent fast.

04

Trust Signals & Conversion Paths

Reviews, FAQs, shipping clarity and clear calls to action.

05

Nationwide + Local Search Visibility

Findable by online shoppers across the U.S. and by Garland/Dallas customers.

06

Content, Social & Creative Ecosystem

A system for producing on-brand content at scale.

Strategic Approach

A Layered Transformation Framework

Every workstream was designed as a layer supporting the next — creating one connected ecosystem rather than a checklist of services.

Product Research & Competitor Intelligence

Research Before Merchandising

Digital competitor intelligence across 13+ competitors met real-world demand from the Garland store — which fragrances customers actually asked for, tried and bought in person.

AreaCompetitor patternSB Fragrances response
PricingWide variance in discount depth across competitorsTransparent, sale-forward pricing with % badges at the product-card level
CatalogCategory listings often shallow or genericGender × type × brand × intent structure across 25+ dedicated pages
Product imageryInconsistent backgrounds & quality across listingsAI-generated, studio-consistent product photography
Local presenceLimited or unclaimed local business profilesGoogle Business Profile optimization for Garland/Dallas
ContentThin or absent blog / content strategyBlog strategy + guest blogging program

Competitor identities are drawn from confidential project research and represented at the pattern level rather than by name.

Transparency note: the project transformed the quality, consistency and positioning of the creative. Social performance data reviewed for the period showed a downward engagement trend — reported here as-is, and separate from the creative-quality work.

AI Video & UGC

From Static Product Images to AI Video & UGC

A production capability was developed alongside the photography — UGC-style ads, in-store video concepts and product-focused motion.

UGC Video Ad · 34s · 9:16

Father's Day Gift Guide: Polo Blue

A creator-style ad built for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. It opens on the question every last-minute shopper is asking, “Still don't have a Father's Day gift?”, and answers it with Ralph Lauren Polo Blue, held clearly in frame from the first second.

  • Hook in the first lineA seasonal question that stops the scroll and matches gift-buying intent.
  • Product always visibleThe bottle stays in hand and on screen, so the ad works even at a glance.
  • Captions burned inReadable with the sound off, the way most social video is watched.

Evidence & Measurement

What We Can Measure

This case study separates completed project work from commercial performance outcomes — on purpose.

Verified project work

  • Product count
  • Competitor research
  • Creative production
  • Pages built
  • Backlinks built
  • SEO implementation
  • E-commerce infrastructure
  • Website speed optimization
  • Organic search: 1.05K clicks & 33.6K impressions in 3 months (Search Console)
  • Page-1 Google rankings for target oud keywords (screenshots)

Not claimed here

  • Revenue or sales figures
  • Conversion rate
  • Before-vs-after traffic comparison
  • Follower growth
  • ROI / customer acquisition cost

Figures such as product count, creative volume and backlinks were supplied by the project team as verified project facts, not measured performance. Where social data was available, the trend was downward and is reported as such.

Final Impact

From Digital Absence to a Complete Fragrance Commerce Ecosystem

The strongest outcome to communicate is the foundation and system that was built:

  • A scalable digital storefront
  • A structured product catalog
  • A consistent premium visual identity
  • A content and creative engine
  • A nationwide and local search strategy
  • A long-term SEO and authority foundation
