The Challenge
For Solmate’s 2020 Black Friday sale, their request of the Mad Fish team was to launch a PPC campaign that focused on increasing bottom of funnel transactions and sales/revenue YoY compared to previous Black Friday campaigns. The were looking to sell out older inventory to make space for 2021 new products. The Mad Fish team identified key platforms, budget recommendations, and overarching creative direction for all assets.
Our Approach
This is one of the biggest campaign pushes Solmate Socks does each year. We worked with Solmate to develop our paid strategy around this “Early Black Friday Sale” campaign. We created and launched a sprint campaign that included 109 ad variations across a series of paid media channels including Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Amazon and Google Ads. With a mix of innovative ad copy, keywords, audience targeting, and eye-catching ad creatives we were able to increase sales year-over-year.
