Results

Unprecedented AcoS Reduction

The top-performing Kaizen Ad video was a short video for its apparel product with unprecedented ACoS of 5.99%. The overall ACoS for Kaizen Ad video campaigns was 12.5%, compared to 22% for the complete portfolio over the same time period.

Brand Awareness Promotion

Marketing experts at NOVICA believe the compelling video with eye-catching motion on the page definitely grabbed more buyers’ attention and enhanced brand awareness. This underscores how video ads deliver the highest conversions of all ad solutions.

Valuable Key Learnings

NOVICA was able to determine that video length did not affect performance, but video ads with a branded closing signature did see improved performance—a valuable insight for future creatives.

Additional learnings include:

• Video ads take up large screen space, especially on mobile, giving potential customers a good idea of the product before clicking on it.

• Conversion rate is the highest of all ad campaigns, despite a slightly higher cost per click.

• Generated videos can be leveraged and put on product detail pages, to increase conversions.

“Quality is excellent. The Kaizen video editor took into consideration our input and the finished product was very professional and high-quality which we are proud to have under our brand.” - NOVICA
