The challenge

A marine dealership challenged Max Connect Digital to accelerate their customer acquisition for the 2024 sales season while maintaining a similar ad spend month-to-month.

The approach

Starting in Jan 2024, we diversified the ad budget into a fairly even split between top, medium, and low funnel mediums. Ad placements included Programmatic Display, VIN-Retargeting, Paid Social, and Paid Search. Full-funnel, audience-led approach (Awareness: video pre-roll, over-the-top media; Interest: programmatic display, promos; Consideration: paid social, email marketing; Intent: paid search, retargeting ads; Purchase).

The results

With over 1 million ad impressions being created every month from the awareness media, the marine dealer was placed top-of-mind for potential buyers. Paid Search performance climbed from 468 conversions in Jan 2024 to 3,273 conversions in Jun 2024. This also coincided with a 56% decrease in the cost-per-click during the same time period.
