The challenge
The AFL Store approached us to demonstrate the effectiveness of ads in selling their products, and we exceeded their expectations by achieving an average return on ad spend (ROAS) of 10 over the course of a year. Our objective was straightforward: utilize Social Media and Google Ads to attract highly targeted traffic to the website and convert it into sales.
Our Approach
Highlight product and price and let the robots do the rest.
By collaborating with the team on a weekly basis, we were able to quickly determine which ads were effective and which were not. It soon became clear that tactical ads focusing on product and price were the most successful in terms of sales.
The key to the ongoing success of this paid advertising campaign is proper ad setup. We have set up and closely monitored both Google and social media ads to ensure optimal performance.
Our next major objective is to boost organic traffic to stores, thereby increasing overall in-store sales. Our SEO team has accepted this challenge!
At SOD, we cut through marketing jargon and take a hands-on approach to create ads that actually improve the bottom line.
The team at Straight Out Digital have been great to work with and importantly generated fantastic results for our business in a collaborative and professional manner.
