The Brand

The Background

Iron Haven came to PSM doing under $700 a month in sales. The brand had the bones of something real — strong identity, quality product — but zero infrastructure to grow on.

No ambassador program. No paid ads. No email system. A product catalog that wasn’t converting. They needed a full operating system built from scratch.

The Challenge

When we found Iron Haven, a $55 CPA meant they were burning money on every single sale. No ambassador program, no structured campaigns, no retention system. The product catalog itself needed a full overhaul.

They couldn’t scale what they had. They needed something entirely new.

The Strategic Transformation

1

Ambassador Program

▾

The ApproachBuilt a full ambassador program from scratch — recruiting, onboarding, incentive structure, and tracking. Ambassadors became the primary acquisition engine at a fraction of paid ad cost.

The Game-Changing ShiftInstead of cold traffic alone, we built a network of real customers who wore and promoted the brand daily. Every new ambassador generated compounding revenue that paid for itself repeatedly.

Paid Ads Strategy

▾

The Starting PointCPA was $55 on arrival. No campaign architecture, no creative testing, no audience segmentation.

The FoundationRebuilt the entire ad infrastructure. New campaign structure, creative testing cadence, audience targeting based on real customer data.

The ResultCPA dropped from $55 to $13 — a 76% reduction. Same budget, 4× more customers.

Product Optimization & Mentorship

▾

The ProblemThe catalog wasn’t built to convert. Pricing, positioning, and presentation all misaligned.

The WorkRefined the catalog — cut underperformers, improved presentation, repositioned hero products. Ongoing mentorship kept the founder executing at a level the business had never seen.

The ImpactStronger product-market fit lifted conversion rates across every channel. Ads worked better. Ambassadors sold more. The whole system compounded.
