Disrupting the Furniture Industry:
Driving 300% More Traffic for Kaiyo

Overview

Kaiyo is an innovative online furniture consignment shop aiming to disrupt the typical furniture buying process. As experts in digital marketing for e-commerce brands, Disrupt Marketing was brought on in 2021 to substantially increase Kaiyo's organic traffic and engagement through search-engine-optimized content.

The Challenge

When we started working with Kaiyo, they had a small but growing customer base drawn to their sustainable, affordable options for high-quality secondhand furniture. However, their fledgling blog only attracted modest levels of organic traffic and engagement. They wanted to scale up traffic to rapidly support their business growth through SEO content aligned with their brand voice.

The Disrupt Solution 

Over the next year, we implemented an integrated content strategy for Kaiyo that included:

  • 3X/week publication of long-form, SEO-optimized blog content focusing on relevant furniture and interior design topics

  • Keyword research and topic clustering to identify and target search terms aligned with their products and values

  • Technical website updates to improve site speed and on-page SEO elements ahead of a site migration

  • Ongoing performance tracking and optimization to maximize blog traffic and clicks

The Results

Within the first year of working with Disrupt Marketing, Kaiyo saw organic site traffic increase by over 300%, predominantly driven by blog content. Their most popular posts now reliably attract hundreds or thousands of readers per month. This influx of new visitors and pageviews has directly supported their rapid annual revenue growth of over 200% year-over-year.

This exponential growth also enabled Kaiyo to secure Series B funding in 2022 - an investment round supporting expansion for startups that have demonstrated significant traction. With this $15 million cash injection, Kaiyo is poised to further disrupt the furniture space by reaching new markets across the country.
