Scaling while maintaining profitability was a must

Safe Life Defense approached Structured with a clear goal – to amplify market reach without compromising on cost-efficiency. We wanted to increase spending but to do so in a way that maximized returns on investment, ensuring every dollar contributed to sustainable growth.

What were the pain points?

Safe Life faced 3 distinct hurdles that were preventing its digital marketing efficiency and growth:

1. Creative Volume: With an evolving market and customer expectations, Safe Life Defense needed a diverse and dynamic range of creatives to engage and attract customers. This stretched beyond just quantity, but the quality, relevance, and impact of these creatives, which were crucial for breaking through the competitive noise.

2. Website Functionality: In the digital age, a website is more than just a business card, it’s a conversion engine. For Safe Life Defense, enhancing their website to ensure it was not only user-friendly but also optimized for conversions was needed. This included improving load times, streamlining user journeys, and ensuring seamless integration with their marketing efforts.

3. Unimplemented Best Practices in Account Structure: Staying ahead means constantly evolving and adapting to best practices. Safe Life Defense's digital strategy required a revamp to incorporate data-driven and decision-making frameworks.

How did we do it?

To address these 3 issues, we got creative.We used influencer whitelisting to broaden brand reach and enhance credibility, which effectively reinforced Safe Life Defense's market position. We also implemented Advantage+ campaigns, utilizing personalized targeting to optimize advertising efficiency. And finally, we refined our creative tactics, focusing on 'buy now, pay later' messaging, and showcasing products dynamically, all while diversifying catalog ads.

Creative Iteration and Optimization:

This allowed us to quickly identify high-performing creatives and scale them, while also discontinuing those that were less effective.

Website User Experience Enhancement: 

Recognizing the importance of website functionality, we focused on enhancing the user experience. This included streamlining the navigation, improving loading speeds, and ensuring that the website was optimized for conversions, particularly focusing on the ease of exploring products and completing purchases.

Implementing Data-Driven Best Practices: 

We applied data-driven best practices across utilizing real time analytics for informed decision-making, and A/B testing different strategies. This process was crucial, ensuring that our ad spend was towards the ones that were bringing in the most traffic, at the lowest cost per click, while also bringing high quality traffic that would convert.
