Established in 2001, Dodo is an Australian internet service and utilities provider based in Melbourne. The company’s range of products include mobile, gas and electricity services.
The Goal:
Dodo wanted to improve campaign performance and gain more actionable insights that would help the company improve future marketing performance.
Solution:
Testing for campaign efficiencies with the Facebook Conversions API
Results:
- 26% incremental sales from using both the Conversions API and the Facebook pixel
- 23% higher conversion rate from using both the Conversions API and the Facebook pixel
- 13% more online sales when using both the Conversions API and the Facebook pixel
The Solution!
Dodo tested the Facebook Conversions API tool by comparing campaign performance insights from it to the insights the brand received from its existing Facebook pixel.
Working with Facebook Business Partner Tealium, a marketing technology company, Dodo ran a campaign of link ads promoting the speed of its internet plans. The ads, optimised for the conversion objective, had a “Learn More” call-to-action button that linked to the internet service provider’s website.
The team then ran a multi-cell test comparing how well things such as sales and add-to-cart actions on Dodo’s website were captured by Facebook measurement tools. In the first cell, the team gathered customer actions captured by only the Facebook pixel, while the second studied events measured by both the pixel and the Facebook Conversions API.
To reach a wide audience, Dodo broadly targeted its ads to people living in Australia, and used campaign budget optimisation to automatically allocate more marketing budget to high-performing ads.
