Background
One of the nation’s largest retailers was looking for compelling ways to reach their target audiences contextually to drive sales during the Spring season. We leveraged Yieldmo’s patented ad-formats, all created with the consumer experience and brand equity in mind.
Yieldmo connected with 8M people on their mobile devices over the course of the campaign:
- ROAS was 23% better than the campaign goal according to the brand’s independent attribution platform
- Viewability was 30% greater than the MOAT Mobile Viewability benchmark
- People spent an average of 9.5 seconds viewing and engaging with the Yieldmo ad formats, 5% higher than the average time spent with mobile ads (MOAT)
- Efficient impression delivery led to 7% higher Sales Per Impression (SPI) than the campaign average.
- CTR outperformed internal benchmarks by 30%
- 13% of all impressions drove intentional engagements with the Yieldmo ad formats in the form of scrolling up and down – 60% above internal benchmarks
The Ad Formats
Three of Yieldmo’s best-performing, high engagement-driving formats were used for this campaign:
- Hyperscroller – a video is transformed into 20 frames of animation where users control the speed and sequence as they scroll, leveraging the natural behavior of a person scrolling down a mobile webpage. The ad featured the retailer’s logo and holiday-specific elements.
- Carousel – Swipeable format showcasing a range of offerings and best performing products in a horizontal layout.
- Window – Using position-aware technology and a parallax effect, a vertical image reveals different parts based on user scroll.
Our unique ads respect the user experience, provide pre-click engagement data, and lead to efficient impression delivery. Through optimization we retarget potential buyers who engaged with the ads and suppress those who would never buy.
