RURAL DIGITAL AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
THE CHALLENGE
A client stakeholder was convinced to try geofencing from a third-party provider, but they didn't consider the limited number of impressions available in their market, especially given the nature of their business.
The Solution
- Renegotiated the contract’s minimum budget requirements and flight dates to give both the client and the vendor a better chance of success.
- Used geofencing, but also expanded to target competitors, top-browsed keywords, popular websites and specific audience segments.
The Results
- The campaign was successful in terms of creating awareness, with more than 27,000 impressions per day.
- The click-through rate (CTR) matched the industry average at 0.35%.
- However, there were no trackable conversions.
- Despite the initial challenge of not generating conversions, the investor worked on a budget plan that included more effective channels like direct mail and newspaper advertising, balanced with higher-quality leads through paid search.
- The outcome was that the client saved 20% of their budget and generated an average of 10 leads per month with the new strategy in a rural market.
