12.3x users

Over just 6 weeks, the number of new customers increased massively

5.6 x sales lift

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.

BATTLING THE BIG GUY

A/B testing against native optimization

Over a six-week period, Optily+ undertook an A/B split test with one track running Facebook’s Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO) and the other using Optily+’s automated bid and budget funnel optimization on top of Facebook’s CBO.

Clear results

Optily+ was able to outperform Facebook and deliver a lot more customers and sales

Same budget

The budget was the same for both campaigns, just spent wiser with Optily+’s smart recommendations
