Lifestyle stationery and gifts designed by Stella — planners, journals and keepsakes aimed at mothers organising a full life. The store prices in seven currencies, so the customer base runs well past South Africa.
Objectives
Sell planners into an international audience across a full year, in a category where demand concentrates hard around the new year.
Our approach
Planners sell on a calendar, so the account has to earn its keep in the flat months too. Google click costs came down 75% across the year, which is what made buying traffic outside the peak viable at all.
The results
Google traffic grew almost tenfold at a quarter of the cost per click, while Meta conversions and revenue both grew by about three quarters.
- Google cost per click down 75%, clicks up 867% against month one.
- Meta conversions up 77% and revenue up 73%.
- Meta clicks up 68% over the same twelve months.
"Cheaper traffic across a whole year is worth more than a good January."
