Strategy 1 : New Users

Analysing the data in Google Analytics for new users, a list was created for the website who were new visitors for the brand & thus SocietyOne had just entered into their consideration set.

Action For New Users?
  • An effective & detailed brand video was created which explained the benefits of Peer-to-Peer lending & the role played by SocietyOne.
  • Creation of a new Remarketing list only for new users with requisite rules was created to ensure that recurring audience who are already well versed with the brand do not receive videos that are introductory in nature.
  • It was decided that to ensure maximum reach as well as frequency, both In-Display as well as In-Stream would be used.

Strategy 2: Conversion Dropouts

Again with the help of Google Analytics, a list which specifically targeted users who have dropped off in the purchase funnel was created. This was created separately as a separate advert was to be targeted for these persona compared to the previous one. Action for Conversion dropouts?

  • Testimonial videos by the clients who have benefited by the services of SocietyOne was created specifically for this purpose.
  • A separate remarketing list of audiences was created and help from Google Tag Manager was taken to simplify the process.
  • Incremental bidding was applied to specifically focus on these audience to turn them into conversions.
