Summary

Challenges and starting point

  • 01

    Dependence on traditional sales channels

    Sales were largely limited to physical trade fairs and traditional wholesale networks.

  • 02

    Lack of digital brand perception

    Against the strong digital premium image of Italian and European competitors in men’s shirts and menswear, Nino Pacoli was not visible online.

  • 03

    Geographic constraints

    The need to reach potential buyers in the Middle East, Europe and North America directly and cost-effectively.

Strategy and solutions

Premium B2B catalogue and multilingual web experience

  • Catalogue- and sample-focused UX/UI

    We built an interactive digital catalogue where B2B buyers can easily review fabric content (e.g. 100% cotton, non-iron, linen), stitching details and minimum order quantities (MOQ).

  • Multilingual SEO architecture

    In English, Arabic, Russian and German we focused on high-commercial-value keywords such as “wholesale men shirts”, “custom tailored shirt manufacturer” and “mens dress shirts supplier”.

Targeted B2B advertising strategy (Google and Meta Ads)

  • Google Search & Shopping

    We aimed to be visible in the target countries (Gulf states, DACH, the UK, Eastern Europe) on searches such as “wholesale men’s shirts” and “private label shirt manufacturer”.

  • Meta (Instagram and Facebook) B2B/B2C retargeting

    With high-quality videos of the collection shoots and production details, we reached style-conscious boutique owners and B2B buyers directly.

Collection-focused visual and content strategy

  • Style- and quality-driven visual storytelling

    We built the digital catalogue with professional product and lifestyle shoots that highlight the brand’s premium shirt craftsmanship, fabric quality and pattern details.

  • E-catalogue and sample request flow

    We created digital conversion funnels where visitors can download the collection catalogue or request samples directly.

CRM and smart lead qualification

  • Automatic enquiry classification

    We classified incoming B2B forms by order volume, target market and budget and passed them to the sales team instantly through the CRM.

  • Email marketing (nurturing)

    We sent tailored digital B2B newsletters to existing and potential buyers at new collection launches and season changes.
