The Strategy

Skye High Media’s first job was to review the data of previous campaigns and make recommendations for future activity. Given the competitiveness of the marketplaces Somfy operated in, Skye High Media designed and implemented a strategy that focused on gaining market share from Category and Competitor keywords and placements.

Stage 1:

Skye High media identified keywords that had previously converted well for the Somfy brand and added these to a refreshed keyword list. Keyword refreshes would form part of the on-going weekly optimisation process.

Stage 2:

Given the power that competing brands had in this space, Skye High Media new that they had to target customers at all parts of the buying process. Sponsored Brand adverts were set up to drive customers to the Somfy Amazon Store. Sponsored Display adverts were strategically placed on competitor pages, displaying just under the Add to Basket button. Sponsored Products were tactically used to feature core products on page 1 which typically didn’t have a page 1 organic ranking.

Stage 3:

The data was reviewed on a weekly basis, so that changes could be made in line with the results. Large parts of the Somfy business is seasonal and the Skye High Media team had to ensure that the advertising strategy fitted in with the overall ecommerce strategy.
