Summary

  • Beat the previous best-selling month (July) by 30%
  • Best-Seller Rank improved from 47th to 2nd

Strategy

Building Sales Momentum

  • The strategy centered around a tiered approach to ad spend, building sales momentum and remarketing pools starting at the beginning of November.
    • Tier 1 - First week of November - bids budgets increased from October to get the flywheel in motion
    • Tier 2 - Second week of November - another round of increased bids and budgets as we got closer to the Promo period and T5. Mid-funnel DSP campaigns created to increase brand/product awareness at a large scale. 
    • Tier 3 - Third Week of November - more increased budgets and new campaigns created. Competitor-targeting and Category-targeting were beefed up to generate a large increase in impressions.
    • Tier 4 - Week of Black Friday - further increased bids and budgets. The promotion started at the beginning of that week, so this was the big push. Even larger dedicated T5 budgets helped us capture traffic on the premium shopping days, including supporting our Live stream by owning as much branded traffic/DP ad placements as possible. 
    • Tier 5- After T5 - We will ride the momentum and buzz generated about the brand and products to maximize sales at a lower spending rate. We will have plenty of retargeting opportunities for shoppers who showed interest but didn't convert, some of which will come from viewers of the Livestream.
