Dont Buy Her Flowers

introduction

At Don’t Buy Her Flowers, thoughtful gifting is key, with their range of bespoke gift packages the physical manifestation of sending a reassuring hug.

Needed more than ever during a year of COVID-19 pandemic, their sales from paid media campaigns had already seen significant growth with more people shopping online. This success meant more media spend was available, but the challenge was how to sustain this growth in a competitive digital market and as the high street reopened. The goal – to drive continued increased revenue, ROI and conversion rates. Fox&Bear was brought on board to address this through PPC campaigns.

Our strategy has included a full-funnel approach to ensure Don’t Buy Her Flowers is present at each stage of the decision-making process in selecting thoughtful gifts – brand awareness had already increased but we wanted to build out campaigns for other key gifting occasions and focus on smart bidding strategies such as target ROAS to increase ROI.
