The strategy

The three-channel retail engine

Three plays, one outcome. Each channel was built to drive a downstream signal retailers actually track — not just impressions.

Creator-led foot traffic

152 creators sent shoppers directly to Costco aisles with in-store, unboxing, and product-in-use content tied to specific locations.

Creator-driven Instacart traffic

Creators shared Bahamii's Instacart link directly with their audience. Layered with Instacart Ads, this drove Bahamii to top-seller status.

Geo-targeted paid social

Meta and TikTok spend concentrated in priority Costco markets to compound creator reach and saturate the buying window.

Verified by the platform

Bahamii hit Instacart top-seller status

When creators sent traffic directly to Bahamii's Instacart page, the platform's algorithm noticed. Within the campaign window, Bahamii was surfaced as a category top seller.

The compounding asset

Reviews don't expire. They compound.

A creator post peaks in 48 hours. A verified photo or video review sits on the product page for years — shaping every shopper's first impression long after the campaign ends.

What that meant for Bahamii

By incentivizing every activated creator to leave a verified photo or video review, Izzy doubled Bahamii's review base in 60 days — converting one-time campaign reach into a permanent on-site conversion asset that keeps lifting sales long after the impressions fade.

Bahamii needed to prove velocity at Costco — fast. A landed retail account only stays landed when the units move. The play had to drive in-aisle purchases, capture Instacart demand, and generate enough authentic UGC and verified reviews to keep conversion compounding after the campaign ended.

60-day recap: close to 25,000 units sold at Costco, Instacart top-seller status, and 2× verified creator-driven photo & video reviews — thanks to 152 creators and 1.4M targeted impressions.
