Engine Scout partnered with an online supplement store to boost their sales across paid ads, email & SMS marketing. This boutique supplement store sells various herbal supplements online and requested to remain anonymous. Engine Scout helped them with their ecommerce marketing resulting in a combined ROAS of over 4 across their paid media spend.
Industry: Online Supplements
What We Did: Facebook Marketing, Google Ads Management and Email Marketing.
Google Ads
Facebook Ads
Email & SMS Purchases
Facebook restricts what creatives you can use when selling supplements on its platform. We weren’t allowed to run catalogue ads which are some of the most successful ad formats as it allows you to showcase all your products to potential customers on Facebook.
Ad creatives are one of if not the most important element to running a successful Facebook ad campaign and having restrictions placed on what creatives we could use meant we needed to think outside the box and come up with a strategy that allowed us to run Facebook ads without getting the ad account banned.
In addition to the ad creative limitations, we also needed to design an evergreen offer focused on the highest volume and highest margin products. These products were selected and became the focus upon which the ad account was built against.
Is something missing with your Facebook Ads?
Our ecommerce Facebook ad strategy focused on user-generated content (UGC) ads with a focus on customer testimonials and video reviews.
We ran multiple UGC ads and worked on building up social proof in the form of likes and comments to increase the performance of each UGC ad.
In addition to this we doubled the clients daily ad budget to exit the learning phase and increase the ad performance stability. To prevent cost blowouts we also used cost caps to limit overspending and ensure the client was getting sales at a profitable margin.
Throughout the campaign we closely tracked costs against sales from paid ads to ensure we kept running ads a a profitable margin each month.
The client had an immediate increase in new customer sales from Google Shopping ads and Facebook ads.
The client wanted to achieve a return on ad spend (ROAS) target of greater than 2. Engine Scout was able to deliver a combined ROAS of over 4 times across both Facebook & Google Ads.
This was a fantastic result considering the client didn’t have a strategy in place for increasing repeat purchaces.
Engine Scout had suggested the client introduce a subscription model to increase the customer lifetime value which is one of the most important factors to ecommerce success and longevity.
