Highest Grossing Year in 25 Years of Business!
With the help of: California Manufacturing Technology Consulting (CMTC)
About
Allett Wallets is a family-owned and operated business founded in 1995. For the last 25 years, Allett has manufactured and sold the world’s thinnest wallets. It recently expanded its product line to include shop masks.
The Challenge
Our decision to work with CMTC was a crucial part of our success in 2020—our highest grossing year in 25 years of business.
MEP's Role
CMTC partnered with Allett over a four-month period to develop a comprehensive marketing strategy and tactical plan. Components included a website audit and redesign, content strategy and development, and a robust email marketing campaign. CMTC consultants provided art direction, digital asset creation, copywriting, and video production and editing. As a result, Allett was fully prepared to scale up quickly to introduce, market, and sell new products.
The marketing strategies earned significant local media attention, which in turn generated increased sales. During the initial four months, Allett was able to hire a temporary team of 15 people. They began working with 12 new local contractors and purchased materials and services from another 13 new vendors across Southern California. In addition, Allett was able to hire one new full-time employee. Allett estimates a sales increase of $6.5 million over a 12-month period, enabling investments of $22,400 in new products and processes and $5,000 in plant and equipment improvements. In addition, Allett designated another $2,000 for employee learning and development.
