What Trinity has built. Where the growth goes from here.

THE BRAND

THE ENGINE
COMES NEXT.

What Catch activates for Trinity

  • MLB-approved, handcrafted since 2005, used by Mark Trumbo, Hank Conger, and countless pros. Trinity has the credibility, the product, and the story. Catch builds the digital infrastructure to make sure the right people see it.
  • A new Shopify site is a strong foundation. Getting the tracking, funnel optimization, and conversion architecture right on launch sets the trajectory for everything that follows.
  • Retargeting audiences built from existing site traffic means every visitor who shows interest can be brought back, nurtured, and converted. That audience already exists. We activate it on day one.
  • Email automation turns Trinity's existing customer base into a recurring revenue channel. At an average order value north of $100, automated flows are one of the highest-return tools in e-commerce.
  • The Warstic benchmark: a comparable DTC bat brand grew from $200K to $8M in four years through a focused digital strategy. Trinity has the product quality and the pro credibility to match or exceed that trajectory.
  • Player partnerships, batting academies, minor league deals, and wholesale relationships are all within reach. Catch helps build the infrastructure that turns those opportunities into repeatable revenue.

Catch is a growth engine, not just an agency.

Trinity has spent 20 years building something real. The product speaks for itself. The reviews, the pro relationships, the loyal customers who come back and refer others without any paid effort to bring them back. That foundation is exceptional.

What Catch does is build the growth engine on top of it. The tech stack, the content system, the email architecture, the paid media machine, the partnership pipeline. Each piece compounds the others. A good month of content feeds the ad audiences. The ad audiences fill the email list. The email list closes the sale.

Industry standard says established e-commerce brands should be investing 10% of top-line revenue in marketing. Most brands competing in this space are spending significantly more than Trinity is right now. That gap represents the growth opportunity, and it's one Catch knows exactly how to close.

Section 4 · The Math · Why This Investment Makes Sense

What an established brand should actually be spending on marketing

THE
REVENUE
ARGUMENT

The e-commerce industry standard for established brands is 10% of top-line revenue invested in marketing. Most brands competing in this space are spending significantly more than Trinity is right now, and seeing the compounding returns that come with it.

We're not asking for anywhere near that benchmark number. We're asking for a focused, lean engagement that builds real infrastructure, with a measurable return attached to every dollar and the ability to walk away at any time if the results aren't there.

If we 2x revenue over 12 months, which is well within reach based on what we've done for comparable brands, this engagement costs a fraction of the revenue it generates. That's not a marketing expense. That's infrastructure.

Section 5 · Monthly Retainer · Scope and Pricing

One flat monthly rate. No contract. Cancel anytime.

How the hours work
Catch operates at $160 per hour. The $5K monthly retainer represents approximately 31 hours of dedicated work per month — the guardrails that keep the core engine running. If a given month calls for more: a product launch, a partnership push, a campaign build, an extra content sprint — we are available to take on additional hours at the same rate. You'll always know what's on the clock before we start. No surprises, no inflated invoices.
Month
to Month

No contract. No lock-in. No risk.

Every month stands on its own. There is no 6-month commitment, no cancellation fee, and no penalty for pausing. You keep every asset, every flow, and every audience we build, regardless of when or whether you decide to move on. Our only incentive is performance. That is the deal, and it doesn't change.

Section 6 · Ad Budget · Separate, Transparent, Scalable

This is not a Catch fee. This goes directly to Meta and Google.

THE
AD BUDGET

Ad spend is the most measurable, most scalable lever in this plan. Every dollar goes directly to the platforms with full transparency, zero markup, and a live dashboard you can see at any time.

Recommended starting budget

START AT $1,500
TO $3,000/MONTH

Paid direct

To Meta and Google · 100% transparent · No markup from Catch
Month 1 · Priority

Retargeting First

The lowest-cost, highest-conversion play. We target people who already visited the site, added to cart, or engaged with content. This is money left on the table right now and the first place we pick it up.

Month 2+ · Build

Prospecting + Lookalikes

Once the pixel has data, we build lookalike audiences from Trinity's best customers and expand reach to net-new buyers. Cost per acquisition drops as the pixel learns who converts.

Month 3+ · Scale

Performance Max + Scale

Google Performance Max runs Trinity's Shopify catalog across search, shopping, display, and YouTube. At scale, this becomes the highest-volume acquisition channel in the mix.

The ceiling on ad spend is revenue. If campaigns are generating a 3x or 4x return, spending more in ads is not a cost problem, it is a production problem. At scale, the constraint becomes how many bats Trinity can build, not how many they can sell.
Section 7 · Proof · The Smokin Ed Blueprint

Case study · Smokin Ed Currie · Creator of the world's hottest peppers

BUILT A
LEGEND.
FROM THE
INSIDE OUT.

Ed Currie is the creator of the Carolina Reaper and Pepper X, both certified Guinness World Record holders for the world's hottest pepper. He had a loyal following, a physical retail presence, a solid online footprint, and a product that the world genuinely cared about. What he didn't yet have was a brand built around him as a personality, and a digital engine built to scale it.

Catch came in and built the Smokin Ed brand identity from the ground up. We made Ed the face, the story, and the credibility anchor. We used the world record certifications as cultural moments, not just press releases, and used that momentum to open doors that changed the business permanently.

We brokered the Hot Ones collaboration at a time when Hot Ones was becoming one of the most-watched YouTube formats in the world. We helped secure a PlayStation partnership that put the brand in front of a completely new audience. We worked to get product into Costco, developed B2B product relationships with Bojangles and Dave's Hot Chicken, and helped Ed become the recognized industry authority on natural heat. He is not just a pepper grower. He is the category.

The numbers below reflect what happened to the digital operation in the process. But the real story is what the holistic approach unlocked: retail placement, brand partnerships, media credibility, and a B2B pipeline that did not exist before. That is the same playbook Catch brings to Trinity.

43%
E-commerce revenue growth year over year
69%
Online session growth in one year
171%
Instagram follower growth during the engagement
34%
Email revenue increase year over year
What the numbers don't show
Guinness World Records. A Hot Ones collaboration that introduced the brand to millions. A PlayStation partnership. Product in Costco. B2B relationships with Bojangles and Dave's Hot Chicken. Ed Currie is now the undisputed industry leader in natural heat. The digital numbers were the floor, not the ceiling.
Section 8 · Why Catch

A different kind of agency relationship

WHY
CATCH

01

We are a growth engine, not a vendor

Catch is not a content shop or an ads agency. We build the full system: tech stack, email architecture, paid media, content, and partnerships all running together. Each piece compounds the others. That compounding effect is the growth engine, and it's what we build for every client we take on.

02

We've built legends out of great products

We took a pepper company and built a world-record-holding personality brand that landed in Costco, Hot Ones, PlayStation, Bojangles, and Dave's Hot Chicken. We know what it looks like when a craft brand with real credibility hasn't been given the platform it deserves yet. Trinity is that brand.

03

Month-to-month. Eastern NC rates. No fluff.

No 12-month contracts. No LA agency overhead baked into your invoice. We work month-to-month because results are the only retention strategy we believe in. You keep everything we build. If the work isn't moving the needle, you walk. That's the deal.
