Case Study: SHARP POG®

Agile Marketing Collective has worked with SHARP POG® on website design, branding, photography, consulting, and e-commerce.

From a promising startup to a thriving international retailer, SHARP POG® has a great story. We’ve built and maintained sales, inventory, and wholesale platforms, fueling their meteoric rise. Since day one, we’ve been setting the stage for their digital operations to seamlessly support their expanding global footprint.

Overview

SHARP POG® started as a promising startup with an innovative product designed to save tradesmen and homeowners money by sharpening their oscillating multi-tool blades. With just a hand drill and the SHARP POG®, users can restore their blades to a sharp, "piranha-like" condition in minutes. This practical tool quickly gained popularity for its ability to extend the life of expensive blades, making it a valuable addition to any toolkit.

Challenge

When SHARP POG® approached Agile Marketing Collective, they were at the beginning of their journey. They needed a robust online presence to launch their groundbreaking product and support their future growth. As they expanded, they faced several key challenges:

  • Creating a recognizable brand and logo,

  • Developing a user-friendly website that could handle both retail and wholesale sales,

  • Ensuring the website's security and functionality for a global market,

  • Managing inventory and manufacturing processes efficiently,

  • Implementing effective SEO strategies to drive significant traffic to their website,

  • Scaling operations to meet the increasing demand from international markets and big-box retailers,

  • Crafting effective marketing strategies to boost sales, along with establishing relationships with influencers and retailers to enhance market reach, and

  • Producing high-quality product photography and video to quickly communicate the product's use and value.

Solution

To address these challenges, we combined strategic planning and detailed execution:

  • Brand Identity: Designed the iconic piranha logo, which has become synonymous with SHARP POG® and is recognized worldwide. We've since created their packaging, branded merchandise, labels, and more using this distinctive branding.

  • Website Development: Created a powerful ecommerce website for SHARP POG®, featuring a clean, intuitive design that showcases their product and supports both retail and wholesale transactions.

  • Wholesale Platform: Built a secure section of the website for wholesalers to apply, place orders, track past orders, download invoices, and upload shipping details. This platform streamlined the wholesale process and received an overwhelmingly positive response.

  • Global Sales Expansion: Expanded sales into over 30 countries, partnering with big-box stores around the world. Multiple website support multiple languages and currencies to cater to an international audience.

  • Inventory and Manufacturing Management: Developed a custom software solution to manage inventory and manufacturing processes in real-time. This system provides SHARP POG® with accurate, up-to-date insights into their operations, ensuring they can meet the growing demand efficiently.

  • High Website Traffic: Attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors to the SHARP POG® website through successful SEO strategies.

  • Influencer and Retailer Relationships: Established and nurtured relationships with key influencers and retailers to enhance market reach and credibility.

  • Inventory and Manufacturing Management: Developed a custom software solution to manage inventory and manufacturing processes in real-time. This system provides SHARP POG® with accurate, up-to-date insights into their operations, ensuring they can meet the growing demand efficiently.

  • Product Photography and Video: Produced high-quality product photography and engaging videos to demonstrate the product’s use and value effectively.
