PM Antiques & Collectables is an online retailer of antiques, collectables and classic cars based in Chertsey, Surrey. Owner, Phil Mires, founded the company in 2015 at the age of 19 on eBay. PM Antiques is now an e-commerce site and a noted leader for online purchasing of collectable goods. He has been featured in the Daily Mail online as well as the Telegraph.Β
By using a Surrey marketing agency, like Thunderbolt Digital, PM Antiques has seen considerable growth in its online presence and have cancelled all the traditional advertising such as local papers and sector specific magazines.
Phil approached Thunderbolt Digital back in 2018. His main aim was to improve his return on ad spend. As PM Antiques was time consuming for Phil, he needed the responsibility of marketing taken out of his hands. Upon speaking with him, the agency understood that a marketing strategy was needed to create a strong structure for PM Antiques to improve his return on ad spend and increase sales.
βThunderbolt worked closely with me to build a website to showcase my stock and increase PM Antiquesβ brand awareness. Before, I spent a lot of time after work scouring auction catalogues and submitting absentee bids. Now I have a fully-functioning website with great SEO and people contact PM Antiques directly.β
Being a Surrey marketing agency, Thunderbolt Digital offered a full service to PM Antiques. In 2018, Thunderbolt Digital built a website and implemented a brand for Phil. Once he was happy, a multi-platform campaign, using SEO and Pay Per Click Advertising, was launched.
During the 2020 lockdown, Thunderbolt had regular calls with Phil to communicate the progress of the strategy, ensuring PM Antiques took advantage of the move to online purchasing for non-essential goods.
Thunderbolt Digital also takes care of the PM Antiques website, with monthly maintenance to ensure the e-commerce site is running smoothly and efficiently.
