The Number of Years Giftbox Boutique Worked with Pixi Digital

Giftbox Boutique is a New Zealand-based online gifting studio offering a curated collection of modern, memorable gifts. Founded by a team with a background in luxury brand marketing, the company was created to elevate gift-giving with thoughtfully selected products and elegant presentation. Each gift box features premium items and is carefully packed in sleek, custom packaging: no cane baskets or cellophane in sight.

Whether for personal or corporate occasions, Giftbox Boutique delivers a seamless, stylish experience with a personal touch, making it easy to give gifts that truly impress.

In a market crowded with traditional cellophane-wrapped and cane basket gifts, founders Andy and Katie saw an opportunity to do things differently. They created Giftbox Boutique, a modern and thoughtfully curated alternative that customers were craving, even if they didn't realise it yet.

With a beautifully curated product and solid systems in place, the business was ready to scale. But breaking through a competitive industry dominated by well-established gifting companies required more than just a great idea. That's where Pixi Digital came in, to help sharpen their marketing, increase visibility, and connect with the right audience.

The Digital Strategy

  • Giftbox Boutique initially approached Pixi Digital for help setting up Google Search Ads and Analytics. After a successful start, GBB partnered with us long term to manage and optimise campaigns, focusing on top-performing keywords to maximise visibility and attract high-quality traffic at a lower cost per click.
  • Paid ads performed well, but to grow long-term value, we launched a full SEO strategy. Giftbox Boutique quickly ranked for top search terms like “gifts New Zealand” and “Mother’s Day gifts,” becoming the most visited gift hamper site in New Zealand and earning us a Semrush Search Award finalist spot 🏆
  • As traffic and revenue increased, we introduced a full conversion rate optimisation service. Despite already strong performance, our work boosted key actions like corporate brochure downloads by more than 15 times, proving the power of combining CRO with strong SEO and paid media strategy.

This case study proves that with the good idea and the right team, timing, and marketing support, remarkable growth is absolutely possible.

We have worked with Pixi for a little over a year now. Initially for our Adwords campaigns, when we first started we noticed instant results in our businesses conversions. Then we added their SEO services and have seen our results get even better. We are now overhauling our Adwords campaigns and working to continually optimise them. We are an online only business and we have to be sharp with our marketing dollar, they have proven consistently that they know what they are doing and are well worth the investment. I would not hesitate to recommend Emma and the team when it comes to optimising your digital marketing campaigns.
