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?
