Samsung operated in a highly competitive market for mobile phones. In Asia, there was always stiff competition with Chinese phone makers, and of course, Apple. For their flagship phones, it was necessary to stand out from the competition, with unique and highly visible formats in a cluttered, highly competitive environment, but it was even more important to approach the campaigns with a strong conquest approach.

During our initial analysis of the company we identified the following challenges:

• Lead Generation from Facebook Ads was incurring a high overall cost. However, the number of sign-ups and the click-through rate were not satisfactory;
• To improve quality scores and lower costs, we needed to create optimised landing pages but the website was a bespoke build and was extremely limited;
• A need to improve the number of conversions without increasing the budget due to constraints.

Imperial Tea is a premium tea company started almost 30 years ago, and family run. As a family run business, Imperial Tea has acquired a very loyal community of fans and customers. True tea connoisseurs shop at Imperial Tea, in part for the premium quality they offer, but also to continue connecting with the founders that lead tea tasting sessions and education. The entire Imperial Tea experience is unique. While the majority of their sales have been generated by their tea house in San Francisco, they have been trying to expand their online stores sales.

When Imperial Tea reached out to us, they were looking for a team of marketers that truly understand the boutique nature of their business. Unlike mainstream tea companies, Imperial Tea’s social media content had to lead with education in order to continue offering the same quality of service to their existing audience, while growing their community of premium tea lovers.

Idan Foods has never ran any social advertising, so they had no idea how much it will cost per lead or if it will be worth their marketing dollars.
