    Total 200 words used.

    Lulu and Georgia, a popular home décor shopping site, was started in 2012 by Sara Sugarman who curates the best in interior design. In 2019, Lulu and Georgia engaged Belardi Wong for their experience in direct mail since they do not have physical retail space, with a goal of capitalizing on the growth in the home market category.

    Lulu and Georgia sought to expand its business by increasing their buyer file size and reactivating buyers. With Belardi Wong’s help, customers have come to recognize their brand due to a regular catalog cadence and beautiful lifestyle photography, which created a brand presence.  The team is anticipating adding two additional catalogs in order to contact customers and prospects monthly.

    Lulu and Georgia’s entry into direct mail in 2019 allowed them to capitalize on the expansive growth in the home market in 2020 from the pandemic. Over the last 4 years, here is what Lulu and Georgia has accomplished with Belardi Wong:

    ●      Their customer file has grown 175% from the first campaign in 2019, resulting in a 300% increase in annual revenue.

    ●      Projected growth in annual direct mail sales by over 4000% while exceeding ROAS and CPA goals from 2019 -2022.
