CHALLENGES:
Before partnering with us, the sports apparel brand struggled to achieve consistent sales despite heavy ad spending. Their campaigns lacked precise targeting, brand visibility was fragmented, and conversion rates were below industry benchmarks. The brand needed a data-driven approach to scale profitably while maintaining a strong return on investment.
1. Limited Brand Recognition: The store was relatively new in the market, and customers were not yet familiar with the brand.
2. High Cost Per Click (CPC): The cost per click for sports gear and apparel keywords is often high, which can drive up advertising costs and affect ROAS.
3. Seasonality: The demand for sports gear and apparel is seasonal, with higher sales during specific periods like summer, spring, and back-to-school season.
