Sundry Clothing: Paid Media Case Study
Visible Factors faced the challenge of expanding Sundry's newly established online store in 2015 by launching their direct-to-consumer (DTC) channel through paid media. Our aim was to boost revenue and the number of transactions while ensuring a high Return On Ad Spend (ROAS).
**Initiating the Strategy**
We concentrated on creating an effective and profitable online advertising strategy utilizing Google, Facebook, and Remarketing through Adroll. Our approach involved developing a tiered advertising funnel that began with broad awareness and prospecting at the top, progressed through mid-funnel engagements, and culminated in lower funnel activities like Remarketing, leading to conversions.
**Initial Phase**
At the outset, Sundry's online store was generating under $20,000 a month and averaging fewer than 125 transactions per month. Initially, we ran only Google Ads, including Search, Shopping, and Display, along with retargeting, which resulted in an additional 97 sales transactions within the first 30 days. After two months, we incorporated Facebook Ads, aiming to enhance broad awareness and identify prospective customers while simultaneously implementing dynamic retargeting. After four months, transactions surged by 200%.
**Growth Phase**
After the first six months, we began to gain momentum and developed a better understanding of Sundry’s target audience. We effectively utilized our data to optimize Sundry's campaigns on Facebook and Google. We identified successful creative content, effective messaging, and experimented with new placements and ad formats to significantly elevate the Sundry brand.
**Results**
Years later, with only Facebook and Google directing traffic to the online store, sales transactions have surged by over 7,000%, resulting in a 60-fold increase in online revenue, alongside an estimated 400% reduction in cost per acquisition (CPA).
