Multi-country Haircare eCommerce Case Study

How we double revenue in 30 days through a full-funnel strategy in three different markets

ABOUT THE CLIENT

Rossano Ferretti is a luxury haircare eCommerce brand based in the UK, also operating in the Italian and US markets. Well-known for its luxury hair salons and the revolutionary cutting method, it now brings salon-quality products to its customers’ houses.

CHALLENGE

Rossano Ferretti’s main goal was to improve general digital advertising performance and increase overall revenue, quickly preparing the account for the upcoming holiday season and maximizing other marketing activities (PR, organic social activity, and more). In particular, each market needed a different approach since:

Italy: it needed a complete restart since campaigns were not running anymore due to poor performance
US: general revenue performance was decreasing, and we needed to reverse the trend
UK: performance was good, so we aimed to preserve the positive trend

SOLUTION

The first step of our strategy included the countries’ segmentation into different accounts based on the client’s business goals and needs.

Through our proven methodology, we have then implemented an account restructure to immediately drive results and sales, reinforcing the current lower funnel activity keeping what was working and improving was not delivering sales. In particular, we launched custom search and performance max campaigns.

The data collected during the first month were useful for expanding the accounts with more full-funnel activities through Meta channels (Facebook and Instagram) and Google properties, according to each country’s needs.

During all the abovementioned steps, we also created new ads (both evergreen and promotional) to deliver the correct message to each different buyer persona; the users’ segmentation was based on the funnel steps, so we implemented the following:

– Ads targeting the awareness step;
– Ads targeting the acquisition phase;
– Ads targeting the remarketing stage.

RESULTS

After the first 30 days of our management, the overall performance of the website increased by 116% in revenue, more than doubling the previous month’s performance, with an 84% increase YoY.

In addition, the client also had better performance in:

– the number of orders, increased by 92%;
– the average order value, higher by 12%;
– the number of new customers, which grew by 78%.

BLACK FRIDAY FASHION E-COMMERCE CASE STUDY

How we increased YoY sales during the Black Friday week with performance max campaigns for a high-end women’s fashion retailer

ABOUT THE CLIENT

Our client is a luxury fashion store based in the US. They have four physical boutiques in the major cities and an e-commerce shop, investing $30K monthly in Google Ads Campaigns. The eCommerce store sells the most famous fashion brands from all over the world.

CHALLENGE

The challenge was to scale the account during Black Friday week. Considering that luxury brands are competitive on Google, especially during seasonality, we expected a very high cost per click (CPC) and consequently higher costs and lower return on ad spend (ROAS).

SOLUTION

  1. After analyzing the market, we reduced the investments during the first two weeks of November by cutting all the non-performing areas. We ran a Geographic analysis and paused 12 locations with lower performance. We focus our strategy and budget on only the Top 25 brands with an Average Order Value (AOV) of around $700. Thanks to this, we could allocate the remaining budget for Black Friday Week.
  2. We launched new Performance Max Campaigns with high-quality display assets instead of using search brand campaigns on the brands’ names as keywords. This action allowed us to promote these brands without competing against them on the search network.
  3. We have segmented the audience based on their position in the purchase funnel and created promo-oriented creative assets and ad copies.

RESULTS

Revenue on Google Ads was 157% higher than the previous year, despite the investment staying the same at $30K for the entire month. The eCommerce conversion rate was 201% higher because our audience lists were well-defined. In fact, despite the traffic being stable, the number of purchases went up by 186%. Also, the ROAS was significantly higher: 1143% compared to 333% in the previous year. We were also able to control the CPC, which decreased by 12%.

FASHION ECOMMERCE CRO CASE STUDY

How we leveraged user behavior and customer feedback to double the website conversion rate.

ABOUT THE CLIENT

SEASE is an Italian outdoor fashion brand offering a contemporary wardrobe for passion-driven lifestyles.

CHALLENGE

Increase the eCommerce conversion rate on luxury price tag products and improve the add-to-cart rate.

SOLUTION

We set up the traffic monitoring infrastructure – heatmaps, session recordings, and surveys – to identify patterns among users leaving the checkout page without making a purchase and those visiting the product page without adding products to the shopping cart.

We discovered two types of barriers:

  1. Product perceived value, which was directly related to a low add-to-cart rate
  2. UX gaps that were mostly connected with the checkout process

Knowing this allowed us to support the client’s teams with website optimization solutions, intervene on both aspects, and accurately measure before/after results.

RESULTS

We doubled the overall website conversion rate just one month after implementing our suggested optimization techniques. A similar uptrend continued during the following months, hitting an overall +288% conversion rate after seven months.
Thanks to session recordings analysis, we also resolved an ongoing issue that hindered users from completing orders for weeks without the client or dev even noticing it.
