Attracting followers

Cold traffic will never make purchase on the website from the company they have never heard of. This type of product requires warming-up the potential clients, so the first task is to attract followers. Thus, the campaign objective was "traffic" with the link to our instagram account.

Website traffic

Cold traffic

Facebook requires you to have 50 or more conversions per week per campaign. The longer your ad sets are active and the more optimization events you generate, the easier it will be for Facebook to optimise your campaigns.

Conversion "Purchase" in our case wouldn`t deliver the required number so we used the following conversion events:

  • Purchase
  • Add To Cart
  • Initiate Checkout

2 campaigns that were working during several months:

Retargeting

Retargeting is the most important campaign that can generate the cheapest purchases. We used the following audiences:

  • Facebook engagers - 180 days
  • Instagram engagers - 180 days
  • Page View - 7, 14, 30 days
  • View Content - 7, 14, 30 days
  • Add to Cart - 14, 30 days
  • Initiate Checkout - 30 days

Promotions

Most of the revenue was generated during promotions. We cannot disclose specific promotions because of NDA.

Messages

Selling cosplay products requires live interaction with potential customers rather than letting them make their decisions on the website. In some niches conversion from messages to purchases can be higher than conversion from website visitors to purchases. We generated 500+ messages at 3.50$/message on average.

One of the campaigns with the objective "messages". 3.60$ per message:

Chatbot funnels

The first stage of any chatbot funnel is a lead-magnet that motivates user to send message in Direct. Chatbot then guides the user to the page with a special offer. In order to get the offer the user must subscribe and/or mention instagram account in stories.

We used 3 chatbots:

  1. Send a keyword and get a detailed video-review.
  2. Subscribe, mention us in stories and get the link to the secret sale page.
  3. Online shop in instagram direct.

Chatbot example:

Chatbot funnels generated 1000+ leads. Statistics from the Black Friday chatbot (user gets the link after following IG account and mentioning us in stories):
