Initial Analysis
The client had previously managed targeted advertising independently. Before launching our campaigns, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the client’s past efforts to assess the quality of their existing subscriber base.
Findings
The community was initially built around a low-quality audience, driven by meme-related and irrelevant content (e.g., publishing recipes, which contradicted the brand’s focus on ready-to-eat food).
To improve the audience quality, we collaborated with the client to clean up the community by removing blocked accounts and "dog" profiles (approximately 100 accounts).
Key metrics
The primary focus was on increasing the number of active, engaged subscribers. We specifically targeted audiences within walking distance of the stores.
Optimizing ad campaigns
• Phase 1
Initially, we operated from the client’s old ads manager. However, after the first month, we transitioned to a new office, VK AD, which allowed us to significantly reduce the cost of acquiring subscribers—cutting it by approximately 1.5x at the outset.
• Phase 2
Over time, the cost per subscriber slightly increased as audience prices rose, but the campaigns continued to deliver excellent results by refining targeting and optimizing performance.
