How We Boosted A Women’s Haircare E-commerce Store’s Sales with Targeted Advertising

In the competitive world of e-commerce, targeted advertising can be a game-changer for brands looking to increase sales and reach a broader audience. Here's a detailed case study of how MABWIZ helped a women’s haircare brand achieve significant growth through targeted advertising.

The Challenge

Our client, a women’s haircare brand, was facing several challenges:

- Low Online Visibility: Despite having high-quality products, they struggled with low website traffic.

- Stagnant Sales: Sales were flat, and they needed to reach new customers to boost revenue.

- High Competition: The haircare market is saturated, making it difficult to stand out.

The Solution

MABWIZ implemented a multi-faceted targeted advertising strategy to address these challenges and drive sales growth for GlamLocks.

1. Identifying the Target Audience

The first step was to clearly define and understand the target audience:

- Demographics: Women aged 18-45, primarily located in urban areas.

- Interests: Haircare enthusiasts, followers of beauty influencers, and those interested in natural and organic beauty products.

- Behaviour: Online shoppers who frequently purchase beauty and haircare products.

2. Crafting Compelling Ad Creatives

Creating visually appealing and engaging ad creatives was crucial to capturing the attention of potential customers:

- Professional Photography: High-quality images showcasing the products in use, highlighting their benefits.

- Video Ads: Short, engaging videos demonstrating how to use the products and their results.

- Influencer Endorsements: Featuring popular beauty influencers using and endorsing the products.

3. Utilising Social Media Advertising

Social media platforms were key to reaching GlamLocks’ target audience. We focused on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest:

- Facebook and Instagram Ads: Targeted ads based on demographics, interests, and behaviours. We used carousel ads, video ads, and story ads to engage users.

- Pinterest Ads: Promoted pins targeting haircare enthusiasts and beauty product shoppers, showcasing the products and tutorials.

4. Implementing Google Ads

To capture potential customers actively searching for haircare products, we utilised Google Ads:

- Search Ads: Targeted keywords related to haircare products, such as “best shampoo for curly hair” and “organic hair conditioner.”

- Shopping Ads: Displayed product images, prices, and reviews directly in search results, making it easy for customers to discover and purchase the products.

5. Retargeting Campaigns

To maximise conversions, we implemented retargeting campaigns aimed at users who had previously visited the GlamLocks website but hadn’t made a purchase:

- Dynamic Retargeting Ads: Displayed personalised ads featuring products that users had viewed or added to their cart.

- Email Retargeting: Sent follow-up emails to potential customers who abandoned their carts, offering special discounts or promotions to encourage them to complete their purchase.

6. Monitoring and Optimisation

Continuous monitoring and optimisation were critical to the success of the targeted advertising campaigns:

- A/B Testing: Tested different ad creatives, copy, and targeting options to determine the most effective combinations.

- Performance Analysis: Regularly reviewed campaign performance metrics, such as click-through rates (CTR), conversion rates, and return on ad spend (ROAS).

- Adjustments: Made data-driven adjustments to improve ad performance and maximise ROI.

The Results

The targeted advertising strategy delivered impressive results for GlamLocks:

- 300% Increase in Website Traffic: The combination of social media and Google Ads significantly boosted website visits.

- 150% Increase in Sales: The targeted campaigns resulted in a substantial increase in online sales.

- Improved Brand Awareness: The client’s social media following grew by 200%, enhancing their brand presence.

- High ROI: The advertising campaigns achieved a high return on investment, demonstrating the effectiveness of the targeted approach.
