DOBBIT Innovation Award

The innovative value of this product was recently recognised with the DOBBIT Innovation Award 2025-2026. The BLSTR Sander eliminates the need for an external compressor, a true revolution for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Challenge

BLSTR is introducing a completely new category (compressor-free sandblasting). This requires educating the market and targeted validation before a powerful, profitable European roll-out of the tool.

Approach

Following a thorough audit, we focus on maximising sales via Shopify optimisations, targeted Meta & Google Ads, and structural SEO & GEO for visibility. More about our performance programmes.

Strategic audit and foundation

Because the BLSTR Sander fundamentally challenges an existing way of working (compressor-based blasting), the project started with a foundational audit. In a market where demand is not self-evident, you first need to understand what works and where it works. We do not optimise blindly, but on the basis of data and clear validation steps to protect the advertising budget efficiently.

Shopify conversion optimisation

An innovative, high-end product requires a webshop that inspires trust and converts without friction. We optimise the Shopify webshop by tackling conversion pain points. This includes implementing technical SEO elements and quick UX improvements to streamline the ordering experience for both B2C (DIY enthusiasts) and B2B (professional tradespeople).

High-performance ads and retargeting setup

With target audiences in the Netherlands, France, Germany and beyond, efficient international targeting is crucial. We polish the existing Meta and Google Ads campaigns, sharpen the messaging (creatives & copy) based on data, and set up powerful retargeting flows. Every phase of the ad funnel is designed both to educate around "compressor-free freedom" and to drive concrete sales.

Driving sales

Ongoing optimisation of conversion events ensures higher ROI and smart CPA/CPP efficiency in the shop.

European roll-out

Structured scaling of ads, developing core markets safely and on a solid evidence base.

SEO and LLM visibility

Ongoing organic optimisation (GEO) to maximise discoverability in search engines and AI language models across multiple languages.

Organic growth with SEO and AI (GEO)

A long-term strategy rests on rock-solid content. For BLSTR Sander we not only optimise the homepage and product pages, but also invest in a continuous flow of GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and traditional SEO. This includes blog articles and use cases (such as metal rust removal or paint on ornaments). The goal: dominant discoverability with the target audience, whether they search in Google or ask questions to LLMs (language models).
