🎯 Goal:

The objective was to test multiple ad creatives and audiences to:

  • Identify the most effective visual content for high CTR (Click-Through Rate)
  • Keep CPC (Cost Per Click) under $0.11
  • Maximize purchases with a low CPM and high engagement

🧩 Overview:

We launched and analyzed 10 different ads across 5 product groups (kp1 to kp5), each tested with image-based creatives.

Key tracking metrics included:

  • CPM (Cost per 1000 Impressions)
  • CPC (Cost per Link Click)
  • CTR (Click & Engagement Rate)
  • Average Purchase Rate

The test aimed to balance reach with click quality while refining creative direction.

🚀 Top Performer:
🟢 Ad “kp4” achieved a 9.00% CTR and $0.08 CPC, outperforming others in both engagement and cost-efficiency.

🔍 How We Did It:

1️⃣ Creative Testing

  • Focused on close-up visuals of hands with jewelry
  • Used a combination of contrast backgrounds and motion emphasis

2️⃣ Performance Review

  • Sorted by CPC and CTR to prioritize winners
  • Reviewed user interactions and placement breakdowns
  • Eliminated ads with high CPM and low conversion intent

3️⃣ Scaling Plan

  • Increased budget for top ads (CPC <$0.10 and CTR >8.0%)
  • Planned retargeting phase using warm audiences from top performers
