Scaling while maintaining profitability was a must

Macrostax approached Structured with a clear need: scale the account, but do it profitably. They were against giants like MyFitnessPal and were facing rising costs on major ad platforms like Meta, which made customer acquisition increasingly expensive.

The good news is they were well-established, had a solid user base, and were ready to take their digital presence to the next level. But how do you scale without sacrificing profitability? This was the challenge at hand.

What were the pain points?

The main challenge here: Boost sales and user acquisition profitably.

One of the core issues at hand were the increasing costs per click year over year on major ad platforms, making traffic acquisition expensive and conversion of that traffic into paying app users even more challenging.

So Macrostax struggled with crucial questions:

  • HOW TO ATRACT NEW CUSTOMERS CONSISTENTLY?
  • HOW TO ENSURE CUSTOMER LOYALTY AND REPEAT PURCHASES
  • IF CURRENT UNIT ECONOMICS ARE LEADING TO SUSTAINABLE GROWTH?

Macrostax also offers both a monthly and a yearly plan, with sign ups for the yearly plan getting a 50% discount, and more cash flow received in the short term. Now, while the monthly subscribers were paying more on a year by year basis, over 50% canceled after the 1st month, so the focus was also to get more people to sign up for the yearly subscription.

How did we do it?

We crafted a non-branded whitelisting page, fitness-focused and ripe for ads. This not only provided an additional layer of credibility and trust, but also positioned Macrostax as a top choice in the macro tracking world. We introduced fresh, compelling content to capture the audience's attention. From restructuring the ad account to increasing creative volume, every step was calculated and data-driven.

Building on this made the next steps easy:

Craft a Tailored Creative Approach:

We introduced a data-driven marketing approach, ensuring every piece of creative content was meticulously tested and analyzed for performance.

Diversify Creative Content:

Recognizing the need for a diverse range of creatives, we increased our output. Our aim was to cover all bases—from video content and static images to compelling copywriting—ensuring we had a variety of materials to test and optimize.

Intensify Focus on Copywriting:

We amplified our focus on copywriting, understanding its role in conversion and user engagement. We crafted compelling headlines, strong calls-to-action, and persuasive messaging across all platforms and touchpoints.

Optimize Based on Winning Insights:

We constantly analyzed performance data, using our findings to double down on successful creatives and phase out those that underperformed. This process was crucial, ensuring that our spend was towards the ads that were bringing in the most traffic, at the lowest cost per click, while also bringing high quality traffic that would convert.

Leverage Specific Audience Types:

Your audience types have the capability to support ad spend, crucial for scalability. If you haven't tested them yet, it’s time to start.

Emphasize Creative Testing:

Open Communication and Iteration:

Establish an open creative feedback loop, and listen and respond to the data in front of you. When a particular creative hits the mark, you should dive deep into understanding why it was successful and look at ways to replicate.
