COMPANY OVERVIEW

While the brand had a business Facebook account set up, their follower base and engagement rate was very low as they were not actively posting on this channel. Within the first couple of months Facebook following more than doubled.

With the follower growth campaign along with paid social media campaigns Lid’l Dolly's Factory Store following grew 460% over 2 years.

PAID ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN RESULTS:

BRAND AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS:

These strategically-targeted ads and boosted posts generate significant product views and add to carts.

WEBSITE PURCHASE CONVERSION CAMPAIGNS:

Prior to the social media marketing strategy, an online store had not run any Facebook ads. We were able to test and find their target audiences and scaled their ad spend from 1k/ month to 20k/ month and still retain the same ROAS.

Goodfair is an online recycled clothing retailer focused on reversing the negative effects of consumerism. Unlike ThredUp or a normal thrift store, customers purchase "product categories or bundles" and are sent an eclectic mix of items adding a mystery element to the experience.

Challenges:

• Often sold out of in-demand product categories, making it hard to scale top-performing ads
• Didn't have a consistent stream of new content
• Always had an abundance of low-converting product categories that they wanted to push

Strategies:

• Immediately created evergreen ad content that converted well and was scalable since it wasn't tied to a specific product
• Worked with the client on an influencer outreach plan to build up their asset library—used this content to create eye-catching videos that focused on the styling of the products, while also highlighting Goodfair's mission
• Pitched the client on product-specific influencer outreach initiatives to get more creative (and hopefully higher converting) content featuring the products that were a tougher sell

The Challenge

Prior to working with Diogenes Solutions, the team at Gakken focused their efforts on Amazon Marketing with no Success usually just opting for automatic Amazon PPC campaigns that were costly and not profitable.

To position itself as a Top selling children’s book company, Gakken would have to prioritize targeted manual PPC campaigns. They would need to focus on ASIN targeting competitor products. Book targeting needs to be conservative in bidding and hyper targeted.

The Gakken team sought me out as the right person to take on the challenge.

The goal was to refine Gakkens PPC targeting with manual Selection, identify high-impact keywords, Categories and Products as well as display ads to fill topic gaps throughout the funnel, and ultimately, grow traffic and conversions.
