We chose the Perfomance MAX platform to run our ads. The main advantage of this tool is the low cost of conversion, compared to search advertising.

Features of promotion

The stationery niche, like any other, has seasonality. The most active periods are July-August, associated with preparation for school, and October-December, the time of the Christmas holidays.
Also during these periods,thematic goods appear in the assortment - educational literature in summer and Christmas paraphernalia in winter (garlands, Christmas decorations, etc.).

Adapting strategies for the season

In summer, goods with seasonal demand were popular, but the situation changed in winter. Therefore, we had to intensify sales of New Year goods.
This is important, firstly, because they are the main source of income in the pre-holiday period, and secondly, unsold goods will have to be stored somewhere for a year. To solve this problem, we temporarily suspended all advertising campaigns and left only those related to the New Year.

Specifics of consumer behavior

Customers from cities where there are physical stores of the brand more often just looked at the goods and bought them offline. In regions where there are no stores, there was no choice, so they ordered goods online. Because of this peculiarity, we could only track the exact number of orders for these regions.

Observations

The client noted that after launching the ads, sales increased not only on the website but also in offline stores.

02

Remarketing setup

What's that?

Re-display ads to users who have already visited the site.

For what?

Remarketing helps to bring users back to the site.
For example, someone looked at a product but didn't buy it, remarketing shows ads, thus reminding the user of his choice and encouraging him to buy.

How did it help with the project?

Increase conversions and brand awareness.

03

Promotion of individual store cards

In the process of cooperation, the client set a new task - to increase offline sales.
So we launched smart campaigns to promote the cards of individual stores.
04

Development of marketing strategy

In addition to setting up contextual advertising, we developed a marketing strategy: we added search for services such as document printing, implemented promo codes to track arrivals for each region.
05

Site refinement

In addition to customizing the ads, we also worked on improving the website to increase the % of conversions:
  • Adjusted pages Delivery, Payment
  • Connected online payment
  • Changed the appearance of the catalog
  • Added a module that was used to track the most effective sales channel
