When Landon and Narelle started Zero Grid, they had one dream: to empower adventurers like themselves to embrace the freedom of off-grid living.
Travelling around Australia in their bus “Sonny,” with their daughters Willow and Ivy, they poured their passion and expertise into their business, offering high-quality off-grid solar solutions.
But when they joined Insiteful and eCommerce Circle, their business faced major hurdles.
Cash flow issues were threatening their growth. Supplier delays were straining customer relationships. And Landon was feeling stuck, unsure how to turn things around.
Landon discovered Paul in the Shopify Australia Group, where they connected instantly over their shared vision for eCommerce.
“From our first chat, I knew Paul got it. He understood where we were and where we wanted to go. We’ve been good mates ever since,” Landon shared.
What started as a conversation became the turning point for Zero Grid, setting them on a path to not just survive but thrive.
The Challenge
Zero Grid had the potential to lead the off-grid solar market, but they were facing critical challenges.
Cash flow problems made it hard to invest in growth.
Supplier issues led to delays, impacting customer satisfaction.
Landon was overwhelmed, unsure how to take the next step forward.
Even with their dedication, the stress of running the business began taking a toll on their family life.
“Landon was consumed by the business. He was always working, and I felt like I was losing him to the stress of it all,” Narelle said.
The Solution
When Zero Grid partnered with Insiteful and joined eCommerce Circle, everything changed.
We worked with Landon and Narelle to stabilise their business, scale it strategically, and, most importantly, help them reclaim their time and freedom.
1. Addressing Cash Flow and Supplier Issues
The first priority was solving the immediate challenges.
We worked with them to:
- Optimise pricing and profit margins to stabilise cash flow.
- Negotiate better terms with suppliers like Renogy, Victron, Trina, and Jinko, ensuring faster and more reliable delivery.
- Streamline inventory management to maximise efficiency and minimise delays.
These changes didn’t just improve operations—they laid the foundation for sustainable growth.
2. Creating a Strong Growth Strategy
Once the immediate fires were under control, we focused on scaling Zero Grid into a market leader.
We developed a strategy that included:
- Highlighting their expertise as one of Australia’s biggest sellers of Renogy, Victron, Trina, and Jinko Solar Panels.
- Building a powerful brand that resonated with their audience and established credibility.
- Developing a high-converting website to showcase their products and knowledge.
“Paul helped us see how much potential we had. For the first time, we felt excited about the future,” Landon said.
3. Revamping the Website
We transformed Zero Grid’s website into a high-performing sales machine.
The new site:
- Highlighted their expertise with leading brands like Renogy and Victron.
- Made shopping seamless with intuitive navigation and a clean design.
- Included educational resources to help customers make informed decisions about off-grid solar solutions.
4. Driving Growth with Marketing
With the website optimised, we launched a targeted marketing strategy to bring in more customers.
This included:
- Google Ads campaigns to reach adventurers actively searching for off-grid solutions.
- SEO strategies to dominate search rankings for relevant keywords.
- Email Marketing to nurture relationships and drive repeat purchases.
The results were immediate: a consistent flow of traffic, engaged customers, and growing sales.
5. Giving Them Back Their Family Life
More than anything, Zero Grid wanted a business that supported their life, not consumed it.
We helped them implement systems and automations that freed up their time and reduced stress.
For Narelle, the impact was deeply personal.
“I got my husband back, and our daughters got their dad back. Seeing Landon smiling again, spending time with Willow and Ivy, has been the greatest gift,” she said.
The Results
Zero Grid’s transformation has been nothing short of extraordinary.
They’ve become one of Australia’s largest sellers of Renogy, Victron, Trina, and Jinko Solar Panels, cementing their position as industry leaders.
Their revenue has grown significantly, giving them financial stability and the resources to expand.
Supplier issues are a thing of the past, thanks to improved relationships and streamlined processes.
Most importantly, Landon and Narelle now have the freedom to enjoy life with their daughters while running a thriving business.
“The best part isn’t just the business growth—it’s what that growth has given us as a family,” Landon shared.
