Yarn Sees Up to a 500% Return on Ad Spend with Taboola Sponsored Content and Retargeting Campaigns

Yarn Sees Up to a 500% Return on Ad Spend with Taboola Sponsored Content and Retargeting Campaigns

Yarn was looking to get more value from campaigns used to promote the products sold in their marketplace across their entire media mix. Specifically, they wanted to close the gap between the content-based campaigns they were running using Google Display, Facebook, and other programmatic channels with the addition of Taboola’s contextually delivered ads.

In order to accomplish that goal, they partnered with Taboola to reach consumers on premium editorial sites across the open web, both with sponsored content campaigns as well as retargeting campaigns.

Within the first 90 days, Yarn saw 400% ROAS with Taboola sponsored content. Each campaign focused around a single product, for which they would also open a retargeting campaign to ensure that no consumer fell through the cracks. This allowed Yarn to reach 500% ROAS with Taboola retargeting.

Leveraging Taboola’s Data Marketplace, Yarn focused on categorizing interest groups for new and returning customers using their internal data, to link different personas to the best converting product category.

Taboola’s Attentive Audience Targeting Raises Yarn’s Return on Ad Spend to 700%

Upon Taboola’s recommendation, Yarn also leveraged Taboola’s Attentive Audience targeting feature, which took their campaign to the next level. In just a few months, Yarn’s ROAS rose to 700% across their Attentive Audience Campaigns.

For Yarn, Taboola was able to lower the cost per acquisition (CPA) cost of their other channels, and increase their return on ad spend (ROAS) by 300% across all campaigns over time.

An attentive audience is a group of consumers that has spent a significant amount of time on your website, but hasn’t yet converted. For Yarn, Taboola’s algorithm took into consideration behaviors like number of recurring visits, time spent on site, scroll depth, and the number of pages a consumer visits within a session. Based on the strength and depth of these behaviors, Taboola defined an attentive audience specific to Yarn’s campaign, resulting in an increase in ROAS.

All of Yarn’s campaigns are powered by Smartbid, allowing Taboola to automatically adjust advertiser’s baseline bid, for each impression, to help them maximize the number of conversions based on their campaign goals. Campaign results are tracked using Taboola Pixel, which allows advertisers to understand the actions people take on their site and to optimize their marketing campaigns towards desired and valuable actions. quality inventory that would allow them to reach that qualified traffic.
