Reducing CPL and achieving profitable scaling for a multi-product e-commerce project
The project required lowering acquisition costs while transforming campaigns from marginal to consistently profitable.
Objectives and strategy:
- Reduce cost per lead (CPL)
- Increase ROMI from ~40% to a profitable level

General:
In the early stages, we focused on restructuring budget allocation and testing scalable campaign models:
- Implementation of different scaling schemes (from 1-1-1 to 1-5-5)
- Continuous budget redistribution toward high-performing ad sets
- Testing and optimization of campaign structures for multi-product offers
- Launch of advertorials (pre-selling articles) to warm up the audience before landing pages
- Ongoing performance analysis and elimination of inefficient traffic sources
