Introduction: A Brand Committed to Performance & Sustainability

Oboz Footwear has built a strong reputation for crafting high-quality hiking footwear that blends performance with sustainability. With a passionate customer base and a commitment to environmental responsibility, Oboz was ready to expand its direct-to-consumer (DTC) presence.

But there was a challenge: How could Oboz efficiently scale DTC revenue while maintaining profitability and customer loyalty?

The Challenge: Scaling DTC Revenue Efficiently

With ambitious growth targets set by KMD Brands, Oboz needed to:

  • Balance retention and acquisition – Identify and retain high-value customers while attracting new ones efficiently.
  • Leverage deep customer data – Use predictive analytics to optimize marketing spend and improve conversion rates.
  • Adapt quickly to market conditions – Make real-time decisions based on seasonal trends and performance metrics.

Without a data-driven strategy, Oboz risked higher acquisition costs, lower margins, and inconsistent revenue growth.
