Summary

A textile manufacturer with strong traditional production capacity but no digital presence chose cosi as its digital marketing partner for going global.

With a multichannel B2B digital marketing strategy, we gave the brand global digital visibility from scratch within 24 months and generated high-quality leads from more than 20 countries.

Challenges and starting point

  • 01

    Zero digital visibility

    A standard website with no SEO performance, no multilingual foundation and no conversion-focused design.

  • 02

    Intense competition

    Digital dominance of Chinese, Indian and European competitors in the global textile and private-label market.

  • 03

    High lead costs

    Reaching B2B purchasing managers through traditional trade fairs and direct sales was becoming harder and more expensive.

Strategy and solutions

Conversion-focused, multilingual web foundation

  • B2B-focused UX/UI

    We built a dynamic catalogue site that puts fabric quality, certificates, minimum order quantity (MOQ) and production capacity up front for export buyers.

  • Multilingual SEO strategy

    We optimised the site in English, German and French and built an SEO architecture matched to local search intent in the target regions (DACH, North America, the UK, the Middle East).

Targeted B2B performance marketing (Google and LinkedIn Ads)

  • Google Search & Display

    We ran precisely targeted search campaigns on high-commercial-intent keywords such as “private label apparel manufacturer” and “sustainable textile supplier Europe”.

  • LinkedIn account-based marketing (ABM)

    We built LinkedIn Ads campaigns aimed at textile purchasing managers, category managers and apparel brand founders in Europe and the US.

Content and trust building

  • Sustainability and certification focus

    We produced e-books and whitepapers on international textile certifications such as OEKO-TEX and GOTS and on sustainable production, and set them up as gated downloads (lead magnets).

  • Success stories and case studies

    We integrated case analyses proving production capacity and delivery reliability into the website.

Automation and lead qualification

  • CRM integration

    We connected every enquiry to the CRM and automatically qualified prospective buyers by country, order volume and budget (lead scoring).

  • Email automation

    We set up a 3-step B2B lead-nurturing email series for buyers who requested a quote but did not reply.

Results
