Introduction: The Difficulties of Ad Campaigns Before Quick Ads
The following is an amalgamation of real stories told online by business owners who, despite their best efforts, did not have the time, tech savvy, or financial resources to successfully leverage their online ads. While platforms like Google, Facebook, and Tik Tok provide real opportunity to “Get the word out,” starting these campaigns from scratch – and having them increase sales on Shopify – is far easier said than done.
These are their stories.
Ensnared by “Default” Settings
La Fontaine’s Cookies had grown on “word of mouth” advertising locally for years, but the owner quickly realized they needed to shift their marketing strategy in 2022. So, they got to work using a popular search engine as the first base of operations… and saw there were 18 unique settings that needed calibrating. The sheer number of options and unfamiliar terms (SEO, Funnels, PPC, etc…) was a bit overwhelming at first for the local business.
Setting the budget was easy enough, but errors started popping up when the rest of the boxes got filled. Already the manager of day-to-day operations, the owner’s eyes widened as they realized figuring out online marketing would become a massive drain on their time and energy.
Picking between “search ads” and “display ads” and analyzing which “keywords” worked best was where La Fontaine’s Cookies officially lost the plot. They were already spending hundreds of dollars on the ad campaign and hours designing specific ads for each of their “audience segments,” which were hard to clearly define in the first place… the conversion rate was so paltry that La Fontaine’s Cookies was in serious jeopardy of going under!
Ad campaigns on social media sites fared no better. Creating a unique, well-designed ad banner for each part of her audience was time consuming and figuring out how to analyze “engagement data” felt like it would take all day… but the owner had a cookie shop to run! They didn’t have the time to sit at a computer and crunch numbers, and hiring a marketing expert on salary was out of the budget.
Quick Ads – The “One Click” Solution that Save La Fontaine’s Cookies
Before laying down their arms and walking away, the owner of La Fontaine’s searched, “How to increase sales on Shopify,” as a last ditch effort. They wanted to find an affordable service that might relieve the burden of going through all these settings and conducting all this research for a successful online marketing promotion.
Luckily, they found Quick Ads by Ad360 – and the rest, as they say, is history 😊
Right away, Ad360 showed La Fontaine’s Cookies the promotional power of Quick Ads. All their previous work was not for nothing, as Ad360 automatically extracted all the data from her Shopify store. Now, instead of over a dozen manual options to toggle, La Fontaine’s Cookies only had to enter two basic inputs:
- Daily budget
- Location
After clicking “submit,” Quick Ads went to work, a powerful marketing app over 2 years in the making. With all that technical expertise behind it, Quick Ads automatically generated multiple ad banners using data from La Fontaine’s online store – the owner no longer had to make each one by hand! Even more, Quick Ads rolled out a “geotargeted” awareness campaign to the entire neighborhood. Suddenly, old friends and neighbors were calling again for a quick dessert 😉
Perhaps the most incredible, though, La Fontaine’s Cookies conversion rate began spiking after a month. Overjoyed, the owner asked the Ad360 support team what Quick Ads was doing behind the scenes to increase sales on Shopify.
“Well, we have begun automatically retargeting any and all customers who browse your site! Concentrating your budget on these likely customers lets them get to know your brand through multiple engagements. Sounds like they like what they see, and think La Fontaine’s is the solution to their sweet tooth needs!”
Smiling, the owner of La Fontaine’s Cookies sat back – instead of having to close the store, they were able to hire a part-time manager to help share the burden of day-to-day operations. Now, they could focus on expanding their e-commerce business, and maybe open up a La Fontaine’s Cookies in the next city! While management started their market research, Quick Ads continued solving her online marketing issues – all with one click 😊
