Step one: lighting the fire – launching the campaigns
At the start, like with any project, we needed to see what works and what doesn’t. We divided the €60,000 budget across three ad accounts, kicked off the campaigns, and waited for the magic to unfold. The ads quickly reached over 3.28 million impressions, and we thought: “Great, orders should start rolling in any minute. ” But as every experienced marketer knows: “Not every impression leads to a click, and not every click results in a sale. ” So, we took a deeper dive into the details.
Where we got hooked:
click-through rate (CTR)
Once we had the campaigns up and running, we noticed a CTR of 0.68%. What does this mean? It means that for every 100 people who saw our ads, less than 1 person clicked. Not bad, but there’s room for improvement. So we brainstormed: “We’ve got room to grow here. Let’s tweak the creatives. ”We refreshed the ad copy, added more engaging visuals, and started testing these new versions. And guess what? The CTR began to improve little by little.
But here’s where the magic happened: cost per conversion (CPA)
While we were working on the CTR, we saw real success in the cost per conversion (CPA). And this is where things really took off: Our CPA averaged out at just €12. Now, what does this mean? For every €12 we spent, we gained one sale. That’s fantastic, especially when you consider that the average order value (AOV) was €233.36. So for every €12 invested, we brought in €233 in revenue. Talk about a solid return on investment!
The big picture: from €60,000 to €423,676 in sales
Now let’s talk about the website’s performance. Out of the 435,000 sessions, we achieved a conversion rate of 1.9%. This means that for every 100 visitors, nearly 2 people completed a purchase. And by the end of the campaign period, we processed 8,042 orders, bringing in a total of €423,676.23.
This is a remarkable achievement: Nearly €424,000 in sales from an initial investment of
€60,000. That’s what we call a strong return, wouldn’t you agree?

The cart abandonment story: what happened at checkout?
But here’s where things got interesting. We noticed that while 6% of visitors added items to their cart, only 3% completed the purchase. What does that tell us? It means that customers were interested — they were right at the finish line— but something stopped them from finalizing their order.
Solution? Retargeting! We reminded these visitors that their cart was still waiting for them. We also sweetened the deal with time-sensitive discounts or free shipping to nudge them to complete the purchase.

How we’ll make it even better
1. Improving the Click-Through Rate (CTR):
Our CTR of 0.68% is decent, but we know we can do better. We’ll continue refining our ad creatives and testing different messages to boost this number even higher.
2. Retargeting for Abandoned Carts:
With 6% of visitors adding to their carts, but only 3% converting, we have a huge opportunity. By running targeted retargeting campaigns, we’ll remind them that their items are still waiting and offer an extra incentive to complete the sale.
3. Optimizing the Checkout Process: We’ll make the checkout process faster and more intuitive. Fewer steps, faster page loading, and multiple payment options will make it easier for customers to finish their orders.
