Client: hardware online store
Chosen traffic source: Google AdWords, Yandex Direct
Used tools:
- Search advertising Google AdWords, Yandex Direct. It’s goal is to increase sales;
- Remarketing Google AdWords, retargeting Yandex Direct by category. Goal: to return visitors who have not completed the purchase of goods, increase brand awareness;
- Dynamic remarketing. Goal: to return of visitors who have not completed the purchase of goods, keep brand awareness;
- Video advertising on YouTube. Goal: to increase brand awareness, increase sales.
- Brand advertising.
The best tools of contextual advertising were selected to promote the client’s online store. Next, the top categories of goods were chosen with the client, on their basis target key requests were selected, the negative keywords were filtered, and contextual advertising was launched. Using all ad extensions in search advertising gave a significant increase to the search network’s clickthrough rate (CTR). The conversion rate grew thanks to dynamic and time-based remarketing. By using video advertising on YouTube we got inexpensive traffic of relevant audience, which was successfully converted into sales.
The work was structured as follows: — each month I launched 10 new top product categories for promotion (the most seasonal and marginal goods); — Meanwhile I optimized previous 10 categories, which were set up in the past month. Such a strategy has yielded positive results. As gradual development of product categories contributed to the maximum concentration on the optimization of a small number of advertising campaigns and the development of new ones. Due to this, errors were minimized and KPIs were improved.
Adjusting bids based on the day of the week, the demographic data, and the time of day allowed the ads to appear in the most suitable time for the purchase. The split of campaigns by cities with the corresponding ad texts gave greater visitors’ involvement in the proposition, an increase in CTR and a decrease in the cost of a click. Qualitatively optimized audience by sex and age minimized expenses and irrelevant ad views. During all work the site has been optimized several times for better usability. The adaptive layout of the site was also fully optimized, which resulted in the growth of transactions from mobile devices. Qualitatively tuned analytics reports gave the opportunity to build a sales funnel and have been most helpfull in optimizing contextual advertising and the site itself. All these events have led to a high return on investment in advertising. In the same way, associated transactions with a large share of contextual advertising increased significantly.
Case № 2
Client: Schengen Visa services
Since this market niche is characterized by the high competition and high price of a click — the following strategy was developed:
- Collect as many low-frequency requests as possible and put them into a separate campaign.
- Requests with high frequency and low frequency are split in few separate campaigns with limited daily budget and keep the 3-4 place in the search to maintain efficient conversion cost.

- Search remarketing with a unique offer is set up.
- Target audience is qualitatively filtered.

DSK gave the price per click 4.5 times less than search advertising and 27% more leads.

Case №8
Client: Outdoor advertising services, video output, led panels etc.
Task: bring sales to the Internet.
The main difficulties:
• Limited budget;
• Director prefers old school methods, all communication went through his marketer (with him I immediately found a common language);
• Some competitors have long history on the market and possess large warehouses;
• Unstable dollar exchange rate and constant change of prices in the purchase of materials for manufacturing. Not very promissing.
What have been done:
1. Analysis of competitors, there were not many but they they were stronger;
2. Comparative analysis of competitors and customers;
3. Google AdWords advertising campaigns development from scratch;
4. The search campaign turned out to be the least suitable, because of highly competitive segments, the budget was limited;
5. We switched to the Display Network with targeting on affinity audiences, keywords, custom affinity audiences, placements, YouTube;
6. Created a beautiful animated banner;
7. Remarketing.
The result is in the video review. Banner advertising gave a good increase in calls at a much lower price for the transition than the search. While competitors were interrupting each other in their search, we excellently took customers from GDN, remarketing and retargeting. That’s the whole trick
