The process of the advertising campaign

Trial period from June, 21st till July, 6th, 2019

Platform: Instagram feeds

Creatives were tested on hot audiences of businessmen trading fish products.

With best creatives and texts - all target audiences.

During the test the most effective audiences and banners, which had good costs of a lead (3,2$), were identified.

Effective connection was: business+trade+fish (audiences segmented by age and the interest "restaurant business").

Then we decided also to test a placement Facebook.

We were surprised when the cost of a lead was 19$!

As a result we got after the trial advertising campaign:

Leads: 25

The cost of a lead: 4,66$

Spent budget: 116,5$

Here are the banners, which demonstrated the best result in advertising campaign:

By the way, the cheapest lead was not from designer, but with bright yellow line from target manager.

Conclusion from this: not everything that seems to us passing and beautiful for the advertising campaign can work. We should always choose working creatives based on numbers.

Test results:

Trial advertising campaign demonstrated that we got set price lead and we stick within KPI generally, that is why then we started full advertising campaign focusing on the best audience of businessmen trading wholesale and retail, audience trading fish products.

The main advertising campaign lasted from July, 7th till August, 5th, 2019.

New creatives and videos were tested.

The video got to high cost of a lead.

Women's audience got to 2 times higher cost of a lead than men's audience. But we kept this audience working because the price was acceptable to KPI.

During the period of the main advertising campaign we got:

Leads: 52

The cost of a lead: 3,8$

Spent budget: 200$

The main advertising campaign got us to cheaper leads than trial one.

The results of the advertising campaign for the whole period from June, 21st till August, 5th, 2019:

Total tested: 14 creatives+video.

Leads: 77

The cost of a lead: 42$

Spent budget: 316$

The customer got all notifications about the leads on e-mail through Albato integration service.

We are planning to test Look-a-like audience from lead-forms, new texts and offers.

We also want to test new goal of the advertising campaign - conversion to website.

At this stage it was decided to pause the advertising campaign and continue it after website reconstruction to more convertible version because in this way leads would be more qualitative and ready to be bought.
