The Challenge: Re-Engaging a Dormant Audience
Despite having an email list of 28,000 subscribers, YourIzzy.com faced difficulty converting these leads into repeat customers. Low engagement with email marketing indicated untapped potential within their existing audience. The primary challenge was to re-engage subscribers through Meta ads (Facebook and Instagram) and increase the conversion rate of returning customers.
The Objective: Increasing Conversions through Targeted Meta Retargeting Ads
The campaign aimed to:
- Re-engage the 28,000 subscribers on the email list
- Achieve a 5% conversion rate over six months
- Use personalized Facebook and Instagram ads, along with offers and discounts, to drive repeat purchases
The Solution: Meta Retargeting Ads Campaign
We implemented a tailored Meta retargeting campaign, focusing on re-engaging previous visitors and subscribers through Facebook and Instagram ads. Here’s how we did it:
1. Creating a Custom Audience
Using Meta’s Ads Manager, we uploaded the client’s mailing list of 28,000 subscribers and created a custom audience. Meta matched these emails with active Facebook and Instagram users, allowing us to directly retarget users who had previously shown interest but hadn’t converted.
2. Ad Creative and Messaging
Our ad strategy focused on personalization:
- Offer-Based Ads: Exclusive discounts, such as “10% Off for Returning Customers,” were highlighted.
- Personalization: Ads reminded users of products they previously viewed or categories they browsed.
- Visual Appeal: Carousel ads showcased trending items, while video ads highlighted seasonal collections and sales.
3. Placement and A/B Testing
We optimized ad placement across Facebook Feeds, Instagram Stories, and Facebook Marketplace. A/B testing was used to determine which ad formats (carousel, video, single image) and discount offers (10%, 20%, BOGO) performed best. We also created Lookalike Audiences to target new potential customers.
4. Monitoring and Optimization
Throughout the six-month campaign, we closely monitored performance metrics like click-through rates (CTR), conversion rates, and return on ad spend (ROAS). Based on data, we continuously optimized messaging and creatives.
The Results: Surpassing Expectations with Meta Ads
The Meta ads retargeting campaign delivered outstanding results:
- 9.8% Conversion Rate: Over 2,744 subscribers converted into paying customers, surpassing the initial goal of 5%.
- Increased Engagement: Click-through rates were consistently above industry averages, with carousel ads generating the highest engagement.
- Improved ROAS: Cost per acquisition (CPA) was lower than expected, resulting in a strong return on ad spend.
- Audience Growth: Using Lookalike Audiences, Izzy expanded its reach, attracting new customers and boosting overall sales.
Challenges and Adaptations: Overcoming Ad Fatigue
One key challenge was maintaining engagement without causing ad fatigue. To address this, we:
- Refreshed ad creatives and offers regularly to keep messaging relevant.
- Adjusted discount strategies based on audience response to balance acquisition costs and profit margins.
Key Takeaways: How Meta Ads Drove Success for Izzy Zero Waste Beauty
