Results:
- Google Shopping campaigns for the period from 16.10.20 to 11.11.2020. Impressions: 263,000; Clicks: over 2,200; Average cost per click in Google Shopping: 5.37 UAH. As shown in the screenshot below, by the end of the month, we achieved the maximum click-to-impression ratio.
- FB campaigns on the social network Facebook and Instagram ran for 2 months with intervals between promotions. The best results were obtained with pajama sales. Four sales were directly attributed to FB, but there were actually more than 10 sales. The rest of the sales came through Instagram, with customers directly messaging us from the ads. We changed creatives three times during this period and tested different variations.
- During the advertising campaigns, the bounce rate from the website was just over 9%, which is extremely low for an online store. It is a very good indicator. On average, visitors viewed 3 pages per session. This is also a very good indicator for an e-commerce website (you can see these data in the screenshot below).
Final outcome:
- The most popular and consistently selling product categories were selected from the entire niche.
- Semantic queries for these categories were collected.
- An online store was created and filled with products.
- Different advertising banners and audience settings were tested in FB and Google campaigns.
- The most profitable sales channels were chosen for each product group.
