Wishmaster — an online store of digital devices

Интернет-магазин цифровой техники Wishmaster

About

An online store working in Moscow and across the country. They bring in new original devices by Apple, Samsung, Google and Xiaomi with low fees and a warranty.

Task

Scale sales through Yandex Direct ads on high-margin positions, keeping the total ad cost share under 5%.

While shaping the strategy we looked at different traffic channels, but one thing was beyond argument — you start with Yandex Direct.

The client had worked with this channel for a long time, but kept running into a rising cost per purchase and trouble spending the budget, which hit the profit and the ability to plan the growth of the company.

Selling digital devices is a business with tricky margins, so here you always watch the cost per purchase (CPO) and count the whole unit economics.

Numbers always show reality. So we started by building a regular management table, to see every key metric on ROMI and sales in one place.

Then we took on the creatives, to cut through banner blindness and carry the offer to the client through clear associations. We launched the campaigns in Yandex Direct, ran tests on the Moscow market, optimised the campaign groups and scaled smoothly onto the main budget. Every week we collected an analytics slice with every metric broken down by month and by quarter.

Results

87MOver the quarter we spent 6 million roubles and earned 87 million from Yandex Direct, of which 47 million came from the direct link and another 40 from first attribution.

2900 ₽Cost per purchase came to 2900-3400 roubles, which paid off well for Apple goods and other expensive brands. Part of the campaigns with cheaper goods we optimised, moving the budget to the higher-margin bundles.

Feet in hands and off we go.
