A Few of our River Rafting Clients

Products & Services for Rafting Outfitters

Since we started working with ART in 2018, we’ve seen a 474% increase in online revenue from organic traffic in 2021. Organic website traffic is up over 150%, proving that our year-round SEO efforts are working well! We’ve focused blog content on key markets like Colorado Springs and customer personas such as families, as well as trending topics like driveable staycations and summer activity guides. 

Glacier Raft Company has seen a direct ROI of 44x in 2021 for Google Ads (this is just from online transactions, not including the 1,327 phone call and email leads). Having managed their Google Ads for more than 5 years now, we’ve got their strategy down to a science! At a cost per conversion below $4, these campaigns only keep getting better over time, despite the competitive market they are in! 
After launching NMRA’s new website and doing CRO work every month, we’ve seen their online conversion rate go up almost 92%. That equates to more than $3,000 additional dollars in online revenue for every 1,000 website visitors; which is especially nice when they have more than 20K new website visitors this year! From site speed work to leveraging Hot Jar, website behavioral data to A/B content testing experiments on-site…we’ve deployed our proven tactics to increase the average revenue per individual website visitor by more than $3.50!
Since adding the TOMIS ChatBot to their site, our client High Country Adventure has received over 4,600 customer messages! That is roughly 75 hours worth of office time if those customers had reached out directly through emailing or calling the office. One of the most valuable benefits of our TOMIS ChatBot is giving you and your team your time back.

With the TOMIS Chatbot, High Country Adventures has increased their online booking revenue by generating over $44,600 from the bot.

Additionally, we have found ecommerce conversion rates to be roughly 98% higher after individuals engage with the TOMIS ChatBot.

We came to the point when brand maturity and market growth required more than a lay person’s attention to our digital presence. At the same time, we needed to continue being able to stay hands-on with our brand’s community presence. TOMIS hit the mark with both of those needs.
