THE CHALLENGE: SCALABILITY

• Needed a way for their SEM program to effectively manage dynamic inventory as they grew from managing hundreds of properties to thousands.

• Daily changes to pricing and availability• Seasonality

30P r o p r i e t a r y & C o n fi d e n t i a l

THE SOLUTION: DATA FEED OPTIMIZATION• Organizes all the relevant

information about a marketer’s offerings and creates the optimal combination of keywords, ads and landing pages.

• Dynamically updated through inventory feed – allows program to more effectively and efficiently reflect availability and pricing.

• Continuous testing constantly improves CTR and ROAS.

31P r o p r i e t a r y & C o n fi d e n t i a l

INVENTORY-AWARE PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION• Using automated product inventory feed, IgnitionOne

maps products onto media (adgroups / keywords)• Using many-to-many RPC correlation of keywords to SKUs

• Using an agreed upon “critical inventory level”, product stock levels (per feed), and ROAS goals, Bid Scientist uses one of two performance optimization models:• Binary: pause/resume keywords/adgroups based on inventory

of corresponding SKUs.• Bidding: change bids relative to correlated SKU inventory to

accelerate or decelerate exposure of products.• Advertiser has control of thresholds and efficiency

goals.

32P r o p r i e t a r y & C o n fi d e n t i a l

• Using Many-to-Many Mapping (keywords:SKUs) and Revenue Per Click (RPC) Optimization, optimization

• Anticipates drop off in conversion rate before it happens• Determines whether drop in keyword profitability from out-

of-stock products is outweighed by its revenue potential for in-stock products

• Rather than waste media waiting to observe a drop in conversion rate, pauses keywords that would be unprofitable relative to out-of-stock SKUs in anticipation of the lowered conversion rate

• Re-invests saved media dollars in profitable keywords• Reports back to advertiser on impact of lost revenue due

to inventory concerns.

CHALLENGE

• Extended Stay Hotels aimed to drive booking costs more efficiently with a high target ROAS.

P r o p r i e t a r y & C o n fi d e n t i a l

SOLUTION

• IgnitionOne delivered real-time interactions that were personalized to each visitor’s specific interests and propensity to convert and capitalized on location-based, dynamic creative across both search and display channels, enabling the marketer to drive more targeted messaging to highly qualified leads and increase conversions.

P r o p r i e t a r y & C o n fi d e n t i a l

SOLUTION

• IgnitionOne utilized its proprietary SPOT® algorithm to automatically optimize keyword bids and ad creative based on predicted future performance and geo-dynamic keywords to further enhance the ad messaging relevance to users.

P r o p r i e t a r y & C o n fi d e n t i a l

SOLUTION

• IgnitionOne utilized remarketing to capture users who had visited the site previously and showed a high interest in making a hotel booking but failed to convert.

• The Digital Marketing Suite tracked the specific elements of the campaign that drove revenue and actions and ensured that the conversions were being accurately attributed to each channel and tactic and that conversions were deduped so that no media spend was wasted on double payment for a conversion.

RESULTS

• Bookings increased 63% • Revenue grew 106% • Clicks up 110% • CTR of 240%
