“Results achieved were nothing short of staggering. Zest generated hundreds of leads in a very short space of time.”
— Jason de Kauwe, Global Head of Digital Marketing at Adlens
Objectives
Adlens commissioned Zest to prove that online channels were a viable source of leads for a new product range. This was to support a direct-to-consumer model that broke away from their traditional routes to market through third-party vendors that reduce margin.
We were asked to create and execute a strategy to generate leads through online channels to prove that it was a viable channel for future marketing.
Strategy
We identified PPC as the best route to market, and deployed five landing pages to direct users too, each focused on driving data capture.
Action
Our team tracked landing page performance to identify key drivers such as specific illnesses (diabetes, presbyopia) and general activity-based uses such as using computers as part of a day job. This gave crystal clear and attributable data to the client who could adjust their messaging and targeting appropriately.
Our detailed tracking revealed insights about the client’s audience, debunking previously held beliefs that the product was exclusively for 45+ age group. We found the best converting segment to be 45-54 but a younger demographic were enquiring on behalf of parents/grandparents due to our use of social media.
By monitoring activity by device closely, we were able to make tweaks to the campaign such as adding subtitles to a video so that the message was not lost on mobile users.
Results
The results far exceeded our client’s expectations. For a new product with absolutely no historical data to go on, we successfully generated 474 conversions within the short test period. In addition, we grew social following by 455%.
The test confirmed the viability of a direct-to-consumer business model and they are now investing heavily into a new website, using the learnings from this test to guide them.
