Goals

  • This European sports nutrition supplement brand is focused on innovative protein products.
  • They had a newly created Tmall store, and was looking to get more Tmall store visits and purchases in China.
  • They also wanted to increase their brand awareness among Chinese sports lovers.

Challenges

  • Lack of understanding of the Chinese market.
  • Find and reach their niche target without wasting budget on irrelevant audience groups.
  • It’s been hard for them to find the right channels in China to reach their audience.
  • The results of their previous marketing campaigns in China were not properly tracked.

How they did it

Campaign goals

  • Increase traffic to their new Tmall store.
  • Generate purchases in their Tmall store.
  • Build brand awareness in their target market.

Campaign details

  • To help the brand get more visits to their Tmall store, we had to choose an ad channel that could lead ad traffic to a Tmall store, while overlapping with their target audience segment. And therefore we picked Douyin to run Douyin in feed ads.
  • The brand wanted to get more purchases in their Tmall store, and to achieve that, we started running Tmall in platform ads to capture customers with strong purchase intent directly.
  • To increase brand awareness of the brand among Chinese sports lovers, we created targeted content with their WeChat and Xiaohongshu official accounts.

Campaign results

  • Achieved 10% higher conversion rate in their Tmall store than the health supplement industry average.
  • Douyin in feed ads and Tmall in platform ads together achieved 51% lower cost per conversion than industry benchmark in China.
  • Increased campaign ROI by 84% in the first 3 months through campaign optimisation.
