Vodafone Türkiye had already made smart use of remarketing lists, but this only allowed them to show ads to users who had previously demonstrated an interest online in their brand and products. Vodafone was also interested in finding a way to target new audiences who might be likely to try Vodafone Red plans and offers.
When Google’s Similar Audiences became available, Vodafone Türkiye used the new solution to extend their reach and find new customers. By implementing a Similar Audience list for past converters, they could bid more for more valuable users – those who were similar to users who had previously converted.
“We were surprised to see that cost per action of Similar Audiences was better than actual returning visitors. We’ve added it to all eligible campaigns for better lead performance.”
– Pınar Tuğcu, Media Senior Associate Manager, Vodafone Türkiye
With Similar Audiences, the cost per action for Vodafone Red lead forms decreased by 15%, the conversion rate increased by 44% and the click-through rate went up by 9% compared to new visitors. “We were quite surprised to see that cost per action of Similar Audiences was better than actual returning visitors”, says Pınar Tuğcu, Media Senior Associate Manager. “After the success, we added Similar Audiences to all eligible campaigns for better lead performance. The results gave us great insights about the telecommunication sector and its user profile. Knowing the conversion behaviour of these valuable users is especially significant for us in creating detailed strategies and maximising the campaign results of future campaigns.”
