Challenge

Despite their comprehensive offerings, ETF faced several challenges in the competitive prop trading marketplace:

1. Limited brand recognition compared to household names like Robinhood or TD Ameritrade

2. Low conversion rate from website traffic to purchases

3. High churn rate among existing customers

4. Need to differentiate from five main competitors in the prop firm niche

5. Desire to appeal to a global audience while navigating country restrictions

Our Process

To address these challenges, we implemented a multi-faceted approach:

1. Brand Identity Refinement

We honed ETF's brand identity to embody trustworthiness, toughness, fairness, and premium quality. We implemented a sleek black, white, gray, and green color scheme across all digital assets.

2. Blog Creation and SEO Strategy

We developed a WordPress-based blog with:

• Categories for Market News, Education, ETF Updates, and Trading Psychology

• SEO-optimized content to drive organic traffic

• Strategic placement of promotional content and email capture forms
