Improve sales lift 5.6x
Incremental sales lift was significantly higher than Facebook's native optimization
The Problem
Smartbox is the European number 1 in gift experiences, every year helping create unforgettable memories by selling nearly 6.5 million experience gifts in 11 European countries.
Smartbox approached Optily+ together with their agency IPG Reprise, with the challenge of improving the relative performance of Facebook and Instagram.
Smartbox had clear return on ad spend expectations in order to establish Social as a viable acquisition channel when compared with all others.
We were impressed with the results of the A/B test comparing the Optily+ solution and the results we could achieve using the Facebook tool on its own. Optily+'s focus on growing net new customers is key to our growth objectives here at Smartbox.
