About the Client

The client is a growing eCommerce brand focused on providing high-quality, affordable skincare products to Southeast Asian customers. The company operates online stores in the Philippines and Vietnam, targeting a digitally active audience interested in skincare, beauty, cosmetics, and fashion.

With the intent to strengthen customer engagement through social media, they aim to offer products that educate on skincare routines while addressing various skin types and concerns. Their audience includes engaged shoppers and followers of beauty influencers who actively seek tips and product recommendations.

The Opportunity

Despite a strong product line and a growing online presence, the client faced several marketing challenges. One of the main hurdles was scaling reach and engagement. The brand aimed to increase website traffic and link clicks to its site and online store, particularly among socially active users aged 18-45.

Converting these interactions into actual purchases was another challenge, so they needed a strategy to turn engagement into revenue efficiently. To address this, the client sought Meta campaigns to deliver ads to the right audience at the right time while keeping costs efficient.

With a market focus on the Philippines and Vietnam, adjust content and messaging catering to these two uniquely separate audiences without compromising the brand’s identity.

The Solution

Our experienced paid ads team developed a tailored Meta ads strategy, focusing on audience targeting, ad optimization, creative content, and efficient delivery.

Target Audience

Our Meta advertising manager created custom audiences based on demographic and interest-based criteria, including:

• Location: Philippines and Vietnam, specifically targeting our client’s Vietnam Store teaser campaign.
• Age: 18-45, both male and female.
• Interests: Skincare, beauty, cosmetics, fashion, makeup, fashion blogs, and video vlogs.
• Behaviors: Engaged shoppers and internet personality creators.

This precise targeting ensured that the ads reached users most likely interested in the brand’s products, increasing the potential for traffic, engagement, and conversions.

Ad Objectives and Optimization

The Meta ads campaigns included multiple objectives to maximize impact, such as:

• Conversions: Drive purchases on the eCommerce platform.
• Video Views: Engage audiences with short-form video content.
• Traffic: Encourage link clicks to the website and shopping platform.

Automatic bidding allowed Meta to optimize ad delivery for the highest number of link clicks at the best price. Ads were delivered in standard mode throughout the day to maintain consistent exposure. Our team also monitored performance metrics closely, so they can continuously refine the campaigns for maximum effectiveness.

Creative and Content Strategy

Facebook Statistics show that 68% of businesses report video ads generate more clicks than image ads. That said, our team produced engaging video ads tailored to the target audience. Each ad showcased product features, benefits, limited-time offers, and clear calls-to-action (CTA) directing users to the online store.

 The video ads were designed to be visually appealing, informative, and culturally relevant to the target markets..

The Result

The Meta ads campaigns delivered measurable reach, engagement, and sales performance improvements:

• Audience Reach: Increased by 116.63%, expanding exposure to over 2.6 million users in a single month.
• Total Clicks: Surged by 185.73%, showing more users were engaging with the ads and visiting the website or online store.
• Return on Ad Spend (ROAS): Remained strong at 8.06X, proving that the campaigns generated significant returns relative to ad spend.
