SBR Collective

SBR Collective boosts Shopify sales by 800%
Overview

SBR Collective is a performance-driven retail brand built by athletes, for athletes. Known in Rockingham for expert advice and curated gear, their physical store had built a loyal base, but their digital presence wasn’t keeping pace.

With limited online sales and underutilised marketing channels, SBR partnered with PWD to drive local traffic, grow online conversions, and turn their website into a revenue-generating asset, while staying true to their athlete-first brand.

Challenge

When PWD partnered with SBR Collective, the brand had clear strengths and untapped potential.

  • Low online momentum: Despite strong in-store performance, the website wasn’t generating meaningful sales.
  • No structured acquisition strategy: Paid media and SEO channels were underutilised.
  • Local search underperformance: Key intent-based keywords weren’t ranking.

The brief was clear: build visibility fast, grow online conversions, and turn digital into a high-performing revenue stream without losing traction in-store.
