A comprehensive approach to drive traffic and conversions

Lazada, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia has collaborated with Petal Ads to increase traffic and improve purchase rates in Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. In order to address the challenges encountered by Lazada, the collaboration between Lazada and Petal Ads intends to design a fully customised campaign strategy that focuses on improving user experience, optimising ad placements to drive traffic, increasing purchase rates and achieving business goals. Through the collaboration, Lazada has been able to reach the target consumers via various touchpoints, including Huawei devices, owned media and third-party media. With the use of this strategy, Lazada was able to effectively engage a larger audience and extend their reach beyond the Huawei ecosystem.

To drive traffic for the app, Lazada has implemented product SKUs with Petal Search Shopping, which is a comprehensive search engine for Huawei devices. By implementing this strategy, users can be alert to Lazada's offerings when they search for related products. Hence, the integration increased visibility and drove potential customers to Lazada's platform. Additionally, Lazada can optimise their advertising spend and deliver targeted messages to the target customers more effectively by using Petal Ads to manage brand and programmatic ad buying.

To optimise the conversion rates, Lazada has employed a targeted promotion and content strategy. Through the support of Petal Ads, Lazada has implemented interactive placements and ad formats to provide users with the best offers and experiences at the right time and right place. This strategy designed different ad formats for both installed and non-installed users. For installed users, re-engagement efforts encouraged interaction with the Lazada app and make additional purchases. While for the non-installed users, the goal is to encourage app downloads to expand the customer base of Lazada.

In addition, to fostering innovation between Lazada and Petal Ads, the strategy included collaborative marketing activities such as customising content, traffic cooperation and specific ad placements to create mass awareness for Lazada's wider deals. Moreover, Lazada also obtains support from Petal Ads in utilising the search network to create a personalised purchasing experience for their target audiences. In order to provide users with unique and location-specific information, Petal Ads leveraged Petal Search's localised box to ensure the users are directed to relevant product detail pages when searching for specific keywords. This includes directly displaying Lazada's products in search results based on specific keywords and directing users to relevant product detail pages. 

Traffic and Conversion Uplift

The collaboration between Lazada and Petal Ads yielded remarkable results, with significantly increased traffic to Lazada's platform. This boost was achieved through the integration of product SKUs with Petal Search Shopping and strategic ad placements. This allowed users to discover Lazada's offerings, compare products, and make informed purchasing decisions on Lazada app.

Furthermore, the conversion rates have been notable achievements through the continuous optimization of the campaign and the implementation of platform-specific discount codes. By tailoring offers and incentives to the target audience, Lazada has successfully driven conversions and purchases. Whereas, the strategic guidance provided by Petal Ads played a vital role in Lazada optimising conversion rates and maximising the return on investment.
