BRB popped chips were predominantly selling their chips offline. Given the rapid growth of DTC brands in the online sector, BRB wanted to jump in too. Novice in digital marketing, their top of the funnel advertising on Facebook to create awareness was inefficient and costly to sustain. To lower their cost/conversion, they joined Xpert.
Audience Strategy Undertaken
BRB being a newcomer in the online platform, Xpert realised that in order to create awareness and then get better conversions than Facebook, it has to target only the core DTC buyers who make not only similar but also complementary purchases. Firstly, serious buyers interested in fueling physical activity, clean food, healthy lifestyle were taken into account. As for complementary purchases, people who have previously bought granola bars, cereal bars were identified. BRB’s product was put in the 'value for money' segment to target discount seeking buyers of tier 1 cities accordingly.
Results Achieved:
Addressing serious buyers top of the funnel meant they could be converted cost effectively and efficiently. With Xpert’s strategy of targeting serious buyers and lookalikes, BRB’s ad performed beyond expectations with a notable 92% increase in CTR and cost per conversion was slashed down by 36%.
