To make sure it generated leads that were most likely to convert into sales, Markhors targeted its campaign to local clubs, corporates and suppliers working in Australia who were 25 years of age and older male. The company also retargeted ads to people who visited its website, since this indicated that they might be interested. Using sports ads, the company automatically served up the inventory people had looked at on its website within the ads.
We tested this new optimization model with a split test, to compare conversion rates between ad sets with a regular optimization model focused on cost efficiency, versus ad sets with this new optimization model focused on quality. Markhors Apparel targeted a broad audience (age 25 and up) with similar image ads to allow both optimization models to find the best results. Interested people were encouraged to fill in a form with their details to benefit from the offer.
