Reaching new audiences and boosting product sales on Black Friday with Video Shopping Ads
Whiteaway Group is a leading retail and eCommerce company based in Denmark, focused on selling home appliances to consumers through its multiple brands across the Nordics. With a strong focus on performance, they came to TikTok with the objective of reaching new potential audiences and driving conversions during the Black Friday period, while testing a brand new ad solution.
In collaboration with EssenceMediacom Denmark and GroupM Nexus, Whiteaway Group ran a suite of Video Shopping Ads (VSA) which are shoppaple smart video creatives appearing in users’ For You feed that maximise lower funnel performance. This ad solution is built to amplify product discovery, purchase intent, and conversion with smarter, intent-based targeting and advanced automated creative functionalities.
The video creatives showcased Whiteaway products and how they can benefit its consumers, all whilst keeping the content entertaining and native to the platform. Whiteaway ran the campaign to both reach new prospective consumers, and to nurture and cross-sell to existing consumers during Black Friday, who had previously shown interest. In order to optimise the campaign performance, Whiteaway completed a nurtured account strategy and created customised product sets ranging from kitchen appliances to coffee machines to give the consumer a personalised experience based on the individual’s needs.
The Black Friday campaign proved to be a success for Whiteaway Group with a reduction in both CPM and CPA, revealing an impressive 32x ROAS. When compared to the retailer's goals going into Black Friday, Whiteaway Group saw a 78% reduction in CPA and a 60% increase in ROAS.
We saw great potential in our target groups and in new audiences on TikTok. As an added bonus, we were able to maintain a much lower CPA during Black Friday. The combination of a stable CPM and the fact that we were able to drive conversions immediately, showcased the potential for expanding our initial test. Going forward, we see great value in using TikTok for our new categories, while reaching new audiences.
