How We Teed Up 16.8X ROAS & $818K in Sales for a Golf Tour Brand
Royal Links Golf Tours specializes in premium golf travel experiences across Scotland, Ireland, England, and Wales. As a new business, they were starting from complete scratch. No brand recognition, no website, and no marketing strategy! To establish credibility, attract quality leads, and drive sales for their business, they needed a complete digital presence that could deliver immediate and sustainable results. Here’s how we teed up our strategy and went for the green.
The Challenge - Brand Awareness & Presence
Breaking into the luxury golf travel market is no easy feat, and Royal Links Golf Tours had to overcome several hurdles if they were going to compete with well-established brands, including:
- No existing brand awareness
- No website to highlight their travel packages
- No marketing strategy to reach and convert their audience
To position them as a premier provider in the golf travel niche, we focused on two foundational pillars…
Developing a high-converting website that built credibility and streamlined lead generation.
Implementing a strategic paid ad campaign to scale awareness and generate quality leads.
The Solution - Website & Ads Optimization
Our approach combined web development with a well-rounded Meta Ads strategy (Facebook & Instagram) to drive traffic to the site and thus, conversions. Here’s how we did it.
First… A High-Performance Website Built for Conversions
Before running ads, we developed a user-friendly, visually stunning website. The site was designed with:
- A seamless user experience to guide visitors through the sales funnel
- Engaging visual and video content to bring in golf enthusiasts
- A streamlined Vacation Customization Form to capture high-intent leads
All of this was strategically designed to boost awareness of their golf travel experiences while attracting golfers looking to go on dream vacations.
Second… A Meta Ads Strategy Optimized for Max ROI
With a strong website foundation in place, we launched an aggressive yet data-driven Meta Ads campaign, focusing on four components.
- Consistent Daily Ad Spend – Instead of spending only around major golf events, we adopted a daily ad budget strategy for steady, predictable growth.
- Visual & Video Ads – Featuring breathtaking golf courses and exclusive travel experiences attracted high-value clients.
- Precision Targeting – Leveraging lookalike audiences, interest-based segmentation, and retargeting allowed us to reach passionate golf travelers.
- Optimized Lead Conversion – Directing ad traffic to the Vacation Customization Form, gave every visitor a clear, easy path to inquiry.
This data-driven ad strategy meant that Royal Links Golf Tours reached the right audience at the right time, and that gave them consistent engagement and impressive sales results.
The Results - The Marketing Strategy Matters
Marketing requires a sustainable strategy that drives real growth. We were able to provide Royal Links Golf Tours with predictable, scalable success by first building a foundation of credibility, then pairing it with a consistent advertising approach.
These two things, a website overhaul and the right ad strategy, can mean the difference between stagnation and rapid growth, and investing in the right tools is just as important as the approach. This combined website and ad strategy also yielded great outcomes!
- 275 Vacation Customization Form submissions (high-intent leads)
- $818,000+ in booked sales (and counting!)
- $220,000 in gross profit
- 16.8X Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)
- Projected Higher Returns Over the Next 6 Months
Not only did they see immediate success, but this set them up for sustained growth and even greater returns in the months ahead.
