Project Goal

Challenges
Limited Access: We had to rely on the client to create any audience that utilized previous purchaser’s data. As such, the audiences were not created consistently, nor broadly to expand the scope of these tests.
Potential Overlap: We attempted to minimize overlap between audience lists, however a customer could fall into more than one audience segment such as actions on site, products purchased, and time since they were on the site.
Timing: Ensuring that the budget and bids were optimized efficiently throughout the peak season required making regular adjustments throughout the holidays. This resulted in numerous changes over the course of a short period of time which could have positively or negatively impacted performance and results for the client.
Our Approach
Identify Audience Segments: By segmenting audiences based on previous actions and adjusting bids, we were able to drive sales at a higher efficiency.
Targeting RLSA: We focused on customers who visited the website, but did not convert and also created a single non-brand campaign specifically targeting customers who had not converted and were searching for generic product terms. We also added audiences to existing campaigns to increase and decrease bids while they were searching for top keywords.
Targeting CRM: We reviewed top selling products to find opportunities to segment previous purchasers into audience lists.
Testing: We implemented a test-and-learn strategy throughout the year so that the most opportune adjustments were in place during peak seasonal months.
Valuable Insights: We provided thoughtful analysis, insights, and new audience opportunities to target.
