The Challenge
Lengthy Purchase CycleEngagement rings are a high cost and highly emotional purchase, therefore, the consideration process is understandably lengthy. 77 Diamonds needed a partner who understood this, and could tailor media to play effective roles throughout the purchase journey.
Offline Sales ProcessThe most typical sales process would result in the potential customer liaising offline, either via phone or in-person in the storeroom, before committing to a final purchase. This meant that the vital KPI, the sale, was happening outside the visibility of the platforms.
Failure to AutomateThe lack of effective tracking of offline sales meant that 77 Diamonds struggled from a data scarcity issue. They didn't have enough relevant data to make automated bidding viable, and therefore, were missing out on one of the most powerful platform tools available.
The ApproachOur solution needed to be considerate of the context of the sales cycle and hinged on unlocking automation to help them drive more value from the performance channels.
Weighted Micro golas
Working with 77 Diamonds internal sales team, we built a view of the importance of each goal and interaction across the site that could be tracked. We then weighted these based on their importance in the sales process and the role they had in a propensity to convert.
Automation Roll Out
By tracking multiple micro goals, we overcame the data scarcity that had previously prevented the use of automated bidding in paid search. The weighting method made sure that the automated bidding optimised to as close to end value as possible.
Offline Data Import
Whilst there was too much of a delay lag in using offline sales for automation, we still supported 77 Diamonds in importing offline sales data into the advertising engines so that we could compare our proxied data set against real sales and make sure the two correlated.
