Traveling Tarts

Business Overview

Traveling Tarts is a mobile baking party and event service. Founded by Kara Heller, the business specializes in bringing luxury baking experiences directly to your home, office, or chosen venue. Be it a birthday, corporate team-building event, or a special celebration, Traveling Tarts brings all the equipment, fresh organic ingredients, and expert guidance needed for a fun, hands-on baking adventure.

The Challenge

Their growing popularity wasn’t translated into digital reliability. The marketing success of one week often vanished the next, and core technical gaps were limiting scalability.

  1. Missed Opportunity in Short-Form Content

Traveling Tarts had strong in-person experiences but lacked a meaningful presence on platforms like Instagram Reels and TikTok. While their services were inherently visual and highly shareable, they weren’t producing or distributing short-form content consistently.

Impact:

  • Low brand visibility in key local and trending spaces
  • Missed chances to attract impulsive, experience-driven bookings
  • No funnel to turn social engagement into booked events
  1. Lack of Conversion Intelligence

There was no clear visibility into what was driving bookings. Ad spending existed in a vacuum—data stopped at the click. There was no linkage between the campaign → site visit → booking → repeat events.

Impact:                                

  • Budget allocation was blind.
  • Post-event upsell potential went untapped.
  • LTV per customer was capped by guesswork.
  1. Underperforming Website & Booking UX

The original website had:

  • No mobile-first optimization
  • Poor on-site engagement metrics
  • An unstructured contact-based booking system

Impact:

  • Mobile visitors dropped off rapidly
  • Booking inquiries required manual follow-ups
  • No event funnel, no automation
  1. Ineffective Paid Advertising

Ad creatives weren’t matched to user segments. Campaigns were generic, and targeting lacked data intelligence. Without A/B testing or feedback loops, spending was inefficient.

Impact:

  • High CPC, low CTR
  • Poor-quality leads
  • Misaligned targeting with the brand’s niche

How MY AIO – An AI Growth Assistant Changed the Game

MY AIO – Your business’s AI co-founder connected data, identified bottlenecks, and automated revenue movement across three strategic pillars:

  1. Predictive Funnel Design: Turning Viewers Into Hosts

We began by building a behavioral funnel using Advanced Customer Segmentation. MY AIO tracked user origin, interaction type, and timing to intelligently classify leads as:

  • Event attendees
  • Social media viewers
  • School or organization reps
  • Parents or returning customers

From there, automated flows were launched. These included SMS nudges, personalized Emails, one-click inquiry buttons, and targeted seasonal content. Attendees from past events were funneled into a “Be the Host Next Time” follow-up.

Results:

  • 28% increase in post-event re-engagement
  • 19% of guests hosted their own events within one campaign cycle
  1. Visual Performance Dashboard: Tracking Real ROI

To stop the guesswork, we implemented MY AIO’s interactive data dashboard, syncing ad accounts, booking forms, calendars, and post-event reviews into one visual command center.

Custom KPIs were set up:

  • Cost per Booking
  • Booking Value per Campaign
  • Repeat Booking Rate

The dashboard updates in real-time and includes forecast projections based on campaign behavior.

Results:

  • 3.2× improvement in budget efficiency
  • 62% drop in wasted ad spend
  • Clear visibility into which creatives actually drove revenue
  1. Website Overhaul with AI-Powered Booking Forms

We redesigned the Traveling Tarts website to perform on mobile first. Using MY AIO’s Dynamic Booking Assistant, we embedded a smart form that was adapted based on user input—asking relevant questions to pre-qualify leads without adding friction.

Key upgrades included:

  • Embedded availability calendar
  • Filtered service categories
  • Google Profile review integration
  • AI-based routing for faster follow-ups

Results:

  • 41% reduction in bounce rate
  • 2.6× increase in average time on site
  • 73% boost in booking completions
  • Lead response time dropped from 2 hours to under 10 minutes
  1. Real-Time Campaign Optimization

Rather than manually tweaking ads, MY AIO used real-time performance signals to adjust spend, targeting, and creative mid-campaign. It also ran competitor analysis, pulling language and formats from higher-converting ads in the same vertical.

Adjustments included:

  • Bid shifts by region and time-of-day
  • Rotation of new ad copy drawn from successful patterns
  • Budget reallocation toward proven creative sets

Results:

  • Cost-per-lead dropped from $27 to $9.30
  • CTR climbed to 6.1%
  • Booking rate per campaign doubled in under 30 days
