How SolarPower SA 3×'d in 90 days
The exact playbook one of our top suppliers used to scale their BestDealz revenue.
SolarPower SA
Class A · Solar & renewable · Joined Aug 2025
The challenge
SolarPower had been selling on their own website + a few classifieds. Average 40 orders/month at R 12k basket size — but margin was eaten by 8% Mastercard fees and SEO budget. Visibility outside Gauteng was zero.
What we did
- Listing optimisation — our content team rewrote all 28 product descriptions with bilingual specs (EN + ZN), added Trade Assurance badge, set per-quantity price tiers.
- RFQ funnel — registered them in the RFQ matching engine; within 30 days they were receiving 12+ qualified RFQs / week from procurement teams.
- Newsletter feature — featured in 3 separate weekly newsletters (Solar Special, Class A Spotlight, SA Made Mondays).
- Class A landing placement — top-3 placement on the /class-a landing page with 4.8★ rating badge.
Results in 90 days
After deducting our 9% Growth commission and chargebacks (0 in the period), SolarPower's net margin actually improved 3.1% vs their own-website channel — because BestDealz absorbs card fees and SEO acquisition cost.
