The challenge

A fashion e-commerce store wanted more people to see a new season collection, in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, without a big media budget or a marketing team running it every day.

What they did

  • Ran 33 campaigns on Facebook & Instagram and Push, split by offer and country.
  • Used Smart pricing: PPCmate set the price per impression automatically to win the right traffic.
  • Capped frequency on all campaigns so the same person didn't see the ad too often.
  • Blocked weak placements with a block list on 19 of 33 campaigns.
  • Kept spend on proven placements with an allow list on 11 of 33 campaigns.
  • Used day-parting on 20 of 33 campaigns to run only in the best hours.
  • Adjusted bids per traffic source with Source Bids on 16 of 33 campaigns.
