Robot Revolution:  PPC Success in Romania’s E-commerce Frontier

🤓 Our approach

Zahara Consult took a meticulous approach to ensure the success of the client’s expansion into the Romanian market. We conducted in-depth market research, analyzing online shopping behavior, demographics, and competitor landscape. Our research even encompassed the ratio of the population living in cities and villages, their purchasing power, and standard of living. This comprehensive analysis provided valuable insights for developing an effective go-to-market strategy.

Based on the research findings, we crafted a step-by-step marketing plan that encompassed omnichannel advertising and marketing communication strategies for platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, blog management, and Google Ads. This holistic approach aimed to maximize the client’s visibility and reach the target audience effectively.

Zahara Consult executed the digital marketing strategy over a period of six months. We managed PPC campaigns on Google Ads and implemented targeted advertising on Facebook, tailoring the ad sets to specific audience segments such as parents, mothers, and pet owners. Additionally, remarketing campaigns were employed to engage users who had already shown interest in the client’s products. The Facebook advertising setup and audience targeting resulted in an average price per landing page view of $0.08, with every $500 spent on Facebook advertising bringing in approximately 6,000 users to the website.

In Google Ads, our approach focused on relevant search terms and incorporated minor display marketing on relevant websites to enhance brand visibility.
