Affiliate Program Supercharges Growth for Hayabusa Fight
Power Digital designed an affiliate program that led to fast brand and revenue growth for Hayabusa Fight.
As a brand that had enjoyed huge success selling vintage audio products, Victrola’s retail tactics were in danger of getting stuck in the past. Despite e-commerce exploding all around them, they’d remained focused on real-world sales, through a trusted network of brick and mortar partners.

While the business was still growing, they couldn’t ignore the fact that shoppers’ habits were changing. To keep pace with competitors, acquire more customers, and safeguard their future success, they needed to grow their e-commerce footprint.
The business brought in Tim Trzepacz to help plug their digital deficit. And he could immediately tell it would be an uphill struggle.
“While we were well established as an audio brand, e-commerce was very new to us at the time,” said Tim. “Because we relied on third-party retail partners to sell our products, we didn’t have a whole lot of data about our end customers. Nor did we have full control over the content and messaging for the brand.”
As he settled into the role, Tim made it his first task to help individual retail partners raise their e-commerce presence. Next, he turned to the bigger picture of improving the business’s consumer profile, visibility, and positioning.
“We built a central website to try to pull together all the messaging that was out there and get to one voice,” said Tim. “But, in hindsight, we probably built it too quickly through some local contacts, focusing more on expediency and less about quality.”
With an unsatisfactory website and major questions remaining over where to focus his attention and budget, Tim felt stretched and frustrated.
He had to get serious about creating digital marketing strategies that would improve their brand identity, expand their audience, and transform their revenue. But he knew he couldn’t do it alone.
As a seasoned marketeer, Tim had plenty of experience contracting with, and working for, digital marketing agencies. But he’d always found them to be one-dimensional; an expert in one niche, but not across the board.
So it was a pleasant surprise when he discovered Power Digital, a cohesive agency dedicated to providing 360-degree digital support.
“Straight away, I could see they were strong in all the different facets of digital marketing—a top-to-bottom full-service symbiotic partner—which is really rare in my experience,” said Tim.
What also caught his attention was Power Digital’s focus on ROI, right from the get-go.
“I’d never seen a digital agency so focused on the investment return on your spend,” he said. “That piqued my interest and then the more I talked to them, the more I learned about their focus on profitability.”
Tim selected Power Digital as his new partner to help steer his e-commerce success.
Power Digital then created an integrated, cross-channel digital strategy for Victrola, encompassing:
Tim loves the fact that none of these services are delivered in silos. Instead, teams work in close synergy to make sure any discoveries or opportunities are fully leveraged—and no opportunity for better ROI is missed.
Thanks to the strategies implemented by Power Digital, Tim has seen e-commerce grow into an almost $1m business in the past year.
Revenue has rocketed 115%, web sessions have jumped 160%, and customer transactions have risen by 108%.
“The results have been incredible,” said Tim. “It doesn’t feel like a customer service provider relationship at all with Power Digital. It feels like they’re in our trench, supporting and understanding us. They’re like a partner and mentor in helping us get where we want to be.”
Alongside the fantastic financial metrics, Power Digital’s integrated workflow has helped Victrola grow their email list by 30,000+ subscribers.
Their social media reach has skyrocketed too, with Instagram followers up 11,000 and Facebook audience up 4,500. For a business that had zero presence on social channels just a year ago, this is a big deal, putting their brand and their products in front of a vast, new, engaged audience.
“The biggest impact has been on the social and customer acquisition side,” said Tim. “Our email file has grown by twice as much as we’d hoped and our social engagement has just been crazy, so they’ve really exceeded our expectations.”
Another big win has been the vast pool of data Power Digital has generated about their customer base.
“We learned about a demographic we never knew we had, which helps us target our marketing strategies better and make sure our brand is in all the right places,” said Tim.
What Tim appreciates most about Power Digital is their proactive approach to getting the best outcomes for his business.
“They are really tenacious,” said Tim. “We run a pretty crazy ship over here as we grow this company quickly, but they are on us non-stop. If we miss a deliverable or have an opportunity that’s not being developed fully, they really push us forward.
