Paid Ads Project
Maximizing ROI and Conversion Rates
Current State
A fashion e-commerce company was struggling to achieve a satisfactory return on investment (ROI) from its paid advertising campaigns. Despite significant ad spend across multiple platforms (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads), conversion rates were low, and customer acquisition costs (CAC) were high.
Research
Extensive research was conducted to diagnose the issues and identify opportunities for improvement:
- Analyzing historical ad performance data to identify trends, patterns, and inefficiencies.
- Conducting audience analysis to understand the demographics, interests, and behaviors of high-value customers.
- Reviewing ad creatives, copy, and landing pages to assess their effectiveness and alignment with audience preferences.
- Benchmarking against industry standards and competitors to identify gaps and opportunities.
- Consulting with the marketing team to understand campaign goals and performance metrics.
Approach
The approach was structured in the following phases:
- Data Collection: Gathering and consolidating data from all ad platforms, including performance metrics such as impressions, clicks, CTR, conversions, and CAC.
- Audience Segmentation: Segmenting audiences based on demographics, interests, behaviors, and past purchase history.
- Ad Creative Optimization: Developing and testing new ad creatives and copy tailored to different audience segments.
- Landing Page Improvements: Enhancing landing pages to improve user experience and alignment with ad messaging.
- Performance Monitoring: Setting up dashboards and automated reports to track real-time performance and make data-driven adjustments.
