Shopping Ads Case Study
Client Background
The client, a growing e-commerce retailer, faced significant challenges with their online advertising efforts, particularly with Google Shopping Ads. As their business expanded, they found themselves increasingly constrained by high costs and limited results.
Problems
The company’s primary concern was the High Cost Per Click (CPC) they experiencing with Google Shopping Ads. Despite investing a considerable budget into advertising, they were not seeing the return on investment they had anticipated. The campaigns were frequently out of budget, leading to missed opportunities and frustration. The client realized that they needed a better strategy to utilize Google Shopping effectively without overspending.
Challenges Faced
High Cost Per Click: The retailer was paying more than they expected for clicks, which made it hard to maintain profitability.
Budget Constraints: The campaigns often exceeded their budget, resulting in disruptions and limited reach to potential customers.
Insufficient Sales Volume: High CPCs translated into fewer clicks and, consequently, lower sales, which put a strain on their overall marketing efforts.
