The Solution

After digging into Baskits’s current marketing efforts, we reallocated the percentage of the budget spent on Traffic Ads starting in October to increase website visits to potential interested customers early in the holiday season.

We spent the remaining budget on sales campaigns, with the majority going towards the remarketing audiences of past customers, abandoned carts, website visitors, and users who visited the website from paid search.

The Impact

We saw that, because of the competitive cost for prospecting audiences during the holiday season for sales ads, it was cheaper and more effective to push traffic ads to prospecting audiences and remarket with custom messaging based on where their sales journey ended to get them to convert.

This meant past customers were seeing new products, those with abandoned carts were receiving alternative checkout options and coupon codes, paid search users were shown top products and gift card options, and website visitors were seeing products based on where they landed on the website.

As a result, our team was able to help Baskits see huge increases in revenue and ROAS from Paid Search and Meta, such as a 545% ROAS via Bing on Black Friday.
