——Event Organizer

Zhenwei is a leading exhibition organizers and listed company in China It manages the most industrial exhibitions in China market during the past 2 years.

CIPPE had been using ads from magazine publications targeted to an existing list of leads to acquire potential customers. That strategy did successfully increase online information requests and trial applications. However, the company wanted to expand its target audience so it could maximise its lead acquisitions.

 

iStarto SOLUTION

——Leading in potential customers

CIPPE had previously used link ads with the conversion objective to encourage people to request information and trials but got a bad result. This year, CIPPE chose iStarto as its new digital vendor to improve its digital campaigns for global markets.

iStarto Facebook Ad Team created a lookalike audience based on the Custom Audience, and then reached out to them using lead ads.

A selected group of oil and gas manufacturing &engineers to enrich its potential customers through lead ads.

Instead of offering more information about its service in the ads like it had done with the link ads, CIPPE used lead ads to encouraging its target audience to experience the benefits of its offerings first-hand. The ads featured screenshots of visitor registers, as well as videos showing usage scenarios.

CIPPE also included testimonials from highly-satisfied existing customers to attract the new viewers to sign up.

Once the campaign began, CIPPE collected leads from people who completed and submitted the forms. The organizer also followed up with people who clicked on the lead ad, but did not complete and submit a form, sending them link ads using the website conversion objective.
