Strategy

Roman launched two Push Notifications campaigns, targeting Android users (Brazil):
  • First campaign: High activity group, CPC bidding, $0.005 bid, frequency 1/24
  • Second campaign: Low activity group, CPM bidding, $0.01 bid, frequency 1/24
Roman explains his choice of bidding models:
“First of all, I wanted to see how the campaign would run if I targeted the most engaged users – High activity group. I know that the traffic quality here is pretty good, I thought it would be rational to pay for actual clicks. But the traffic volumes with this targeting are not that big so, obviously, I had to create an additional campaign.

The second campaign was targeted at Low activity group. The users in “Low” group are much more selective about ads and, although I could get lots of cheap clicks here, I opted for CPM model to get huge traffic volumes. Comes out much cheaper.”


Results

Here’s the budget:
  • First campaign (High, CPC): $1455
  • Second campaign (Low, CPM): $890

The second campaign, launched with CPM bidding, showed the best ROI: the number of conversions was almost the same, yet the price for traffic was near 2 times lower.

“The total “score” is $3373, but potentially I can get $5539. According to conditions mentioned in the offer, the network is paying for approved conversions only (every order is counted as a “lead” in Adcombo statistics), and the hold period is 30 days. So I’m still waiting for the money to come, as not all of the conversions are approved yet”.
adds Roman.


Final thoughts

“With huge traffic volumes (and low prices) we have in Latin America, it’s a great idea to mix and match bidding models. Test various creatives, and what’s more important – change them regularly (I didn’t do that).

All in all, Latin American traffic is super hot now, and we’ve noticed that eCommerce, gaming, and finance offers are just getting impressive results. Test it; you won’t regret!

Cheers,

Roman”
