“Keyade helped to make Adoreme’s launch a real marketing success. We knew we wanted to be

present on social media and they came up with a solid strategy, eventually turning this channel into a major

acquisition source. Today, we totally trust Keyade to manage Facebook campaigns”

Building a member base is a question of acquisition. To reach its goals, Adoreme's strategy consists of using Facebook to create a community of fans through which it would acquire new subscribers to its site.

While this is a strategy commonly employed by companies to increase brand awareness, the real challenge for Keyade in this case consists of turning the Adoreme Facebook fan community into paying members on the Adoreme site. In the context of a subscription-based business model, this indirectly contributes to the overarching goal of sales growth.

The goal is leveraging the social network with twin objectives of visibility and performance.

For added customer satisfaction, the site also offers personalized advice from style experts.

Launched in the United States in December 2011, Adoreme has looked to the web for generating growth.

To increase Adoreme's visibility, Keyade launches ad campaigns on several levers, with particular emphasis on Facebook.

#1 ACQUISITION SOURCE FORPAYING CUSTOMERS

RESULTSFACEBOOK ADS HAVE GENERATED 46% OF THE FAN COMMUNITY

Facebook has become Adoreme's number one acquisition source for paying customers. The results of the campaigns launched on the social network have exceeded expectations—46% of the fan community comes directly from Facebook ads. Plus, the social network generates 20% to 25% of the Adoreme.com traffic, at acquisition costs 2 to 4 times lower than Google Adwords.

The effectiveness of the Facebook campaigns has been felt as far away as the Google search engine. While search numbers for the brand were previously low, being that it was unknown, statistics show that searches increased tenfold in only eight months.

Based on these results, Keyade and Adoreme have decided on a budget reallocation strategy that will allow the latter to take full advantage of Facebook's enormous potential.

SOLUTIONCREATE A CAMPAIGN STRATEGY SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR FACEBOOK

To build a community of fans on Facebook, Keyade first worked on crafting the campaigns in advance, a process which required in-depth examination and exploration of Adoreme's brand strategy. In order to create effective campaigns, Keyade performed numerous tests on various elements and parameters, such as:

• Targets: Facebook makes it possible to create geographical targets as well as behavioral targets based on areas of interest. By displaying ads to different profiles based on geographical region, Keyade is able to build a deeper understanding of which people convert, and continuously adjust its targets accordingly.

• Ads: Which visuals should be used? Should sales promotions be highlighted? Which messages have the biggest impact? By trying a number of approaches, Keyade is able to optimize the creation of ads which yield the best response from each target audience.

• Landing pages: Keyade works in collaboration with Adoreme to optimize the site's landing pages. The agency leverages Facebook's entertaining nature—it creates ads which redirect to quiz pages or a customized questionnaire-style sign-up page on the site.
