Starting point

Where we started

A manufacturer with its own range and no previous sales on eMAG. The first month with campaigns brought about 70 orders - a good start, but far from the category's potential.

This is a product the customer chooses by fit and looks: car model, variant, price. A product page with variants and photos in context (the car interior) decides conversion more than the bid does.

Goal: quickly build sales volume in the season when such accessories are bought most often, at an ACOS below 10 %.

What we did

Step by step

01

Keyword analysis before launch

We started with a keyword analysis, done separately for the two product types - two different purchase intents and two different prices. The keywords went into a manual campaign split by type.

02

Variants on one product page

We linked the fitment variants into a single offer, so that reviews and sales history accumulate on one page rather than being spread across several listings. We wrote the page content for the keywords from the analysis and for the question "does it fit my car?" - the manufacturer was entering eMAG from zero, so we built the catalogue together with the campaigns.

03

An automatic campaign plus Product & Category Targeting

The manual keyword campaign was joined by an automatic campaign on the whole catalogue and a Product & Category Targeting campaign on the best variants. The budget grew systematically with the number of orders: about 70, then about 120, then about 200 a month.

04

Price under control

In a category with strong price competition we watched the price position of the best variants - advertising a product 20 % more expensive than the neighbouring offer is spend without orders.

A second look

The same story from another angle

Three months were enough to triple campaign sales; in the reference month advertising cost about 8 % of sales (about 1.5 thousand RON of cost against about 20 thousand RON of orders).

What this teaches

Takeaways you can apply to your own account

In categories "chosen by eye", a product page with variants and photos in context does more than the bid - advertising only brings the traffic.

A keyword analysis before launch saves the first two months of groping around: you know what the customer searches for before you spend the first leu.

Fast growth is possible if the budget grows systematically behind results and the price does not stray from the competition.
