The Challenges They Faced
To Bola, producing professional video content while scaling marketing efforts was a constant struggle. Digistoreline faced several challenges:
1. High Production Costs
Creating professional ads required renting venues, hiring models, and long editing hours, pushing costs beyond what was sustainable for a small e-commerce brand.
2. Time-Consuming Workflow
Producing even a single ad could take days, making it difficult to respond quickly to marketing opportunities.
3. Lack of Professional Resources & Skills
Limited professional skills and resources made it challenging to consistently create engaging video content.
