ABOUT

Curlygirlmovement

Today, Curlygirlmovement is a mega platform. With its many loyal followers and customers worldwide, the range has been expanded with even more fantastic products developed specifically for curls. Curlygirlmovement now even welcomes customers in the first Curly Hair Spa & Store, based in Amsterdam.

THE

CHALLENGE

DGTLbase was given the task of optimising Curlygirlmovement's SEA efforts, with an emphasis on using the advertising budget more efficiently. It was clear that a reduction in ad spend compared with previous performance was necessary. In addition, the cost per conversion had to be drastically reduced, while the account as a whole had to perform demonstrably better and more efficiently.

OUR

RESEARCH & GOALS

Based on in-depth market research, we decided to focus the SEA strategy on four pillars.

Cost savings and audience focus: We wanted to optimise the advertising budget and target women with curly hair specifically, who, after thorough analysis, turned out to be the ideal target audience.

Lowering cost per conversion: We aimed for significant cost savings per conversion, with an emphasis on women with curly hair as our main target audience.

Improving efficiency: Curlygirlmovement's SEA account had to perform demonstrably better, especially in reaching women with curly hair.

Content API: For Google Shopping, we used the Content API. This communication with the Merchant Center platform significantly increased the efficiency of managing Curlygirlmovement's Merchant Center account.

“

After implementing various bidding strategies, costs fell by 37% and ROAS increased by 18%.

THE

SOLUTION & IMPLEMENTATION

  1. Tracking Transition to GTM: DGTLbase migrated Curlygirlmovement's tracking from traditional Analytics to Google Tag Manager (GTM), enabling accurate tracking solutions such as POAS.
  2. Campaign Structure Redesign: The campaign structure was revised by splitting the account into different campaigns based on topics.
  3. Optimisation of Bidding Strategies: Various bidding strategies were implemented and tested, with successful results such as a decrease in cost per conversion (-37%) and an increase in ROAS (+18%).
  4. Google Shopping Automation with Labelizer: Within Google Shopping, we ran into a few issues, including the large number of products, high numbers of zombies and little automation. Because there are multiple products for each product type. A conditioner, for example, has multiple types (Light, Heavy, etc.) and can be available in multiple combo bundles. Each combination of type and bundle is treated as a product in the Merchant Center. Use of the Producthero Labelizer to automatically segment products based on performance into Heroes, Sidekicks, Villains and Zombies.
  5. Branded Standard Shopping Feed: Implementation of a Branded Standard Shopping Feed to maximise brand traffic.
  6. Standard Branded Shopping Campaign: A specific campaign to manage traffic from brand name searches and gain more control over performance
  7. Landing Page Improvements with the SEO team: Technical CRO improvements, including load time optimisation, clear CTAs, A/B testing, navigation menu minimisation, a mobile-first approach, page title and meta description optimisation, secure checkout and behavioural analysis with Hotjar.
