When looking for a native advertising partner, Tops Online turned to Taboola for their network of premium publisher partners across Thailand. Taboola’s direct relationships with premium publishers allowed Tops Online to reach consumers on new sites, online magazines, blogs and other digital properties across Thailand.
Tops Online’s main goal was to drive more converting customers to Tops Online and the Tops Online application using sponsored content and video ads. Their two main key performance indicators (KPIs) for this campaign were website traffic and purchase conversions.
With Taboola, Tops Online was able to achieve a 10% increase in vCTR month-to-month. Overall, Tops Online generated over $190,000 in revenue in just one quarter.
Tops Online Optimizes Taboola Campaign with AI-Powered Automated Bidding and Targeting Tools
In order to ensure Tops Online met their goals, they implemented SmartBid, Taboola’s automated bidding solution. SmartBid uses campaign and Taboola’s network conversion data to predict how likely a user is to convert for every impression.
To track their performance accurately, they implemented the Taboola Pixel to understand the actions consumers took on site, and to optimize towards desired and valuable actions.
To retarget those most likely to make a purchase, Tops Online used Taboola’s attentive audiences. An attentive audience is a group of users that have spent a significant amount of time on Tops Online’s website, but haven’t yet converted. Customer behaviors such as number of recurring visits, time spent on site and more are measured by Taboola’s algorithm, and the strength of these behaviors was used to define that audience.
Tops Online’s attentive audience campaigns drove a 106% higher CTR and 43% lower CPA than Tops Online’s other Taboola campaigns.
Tops Online also retargets website visitors and uses Taboola Data Marketplace for interest-based targeting in order to optimize their audience. Taboola’s Data Marketplace includes partnerships with industry leading data providers, and offers more than 30,000 different segments to advertisers. Taboola also creates custom Taboola Segments from aggregated data related to the 1.4 billion monthly users that engage with the Taboola Network.
“We chose to work with Taboola because we find them to be much more trustworthy than other native partners, with users that are more engaged with content and convert more than display channels. This, coupled with their powerful artificial intelligence that optimizes our ads, makes them a smart choice for our campaigns.”
