Unboxing creativity
toucanBox encourages children's creativity by delivering stimulating activities straight to their door. toucanBox wanted to launch a compelling campaign ahead of time that would drive a strong volume of signups for the monthly subscription service at a sustainably low cost per acquisition.
Increasing sales with Facebook video ads
To prepare for the campaign, toucanBox and Facebook Marketing Partner TRGT Digital defined an Easter-inspired creative strategy that used mobile-friendly vertical video based on previously tested themes, such as delivery and unboxing, and children getting involved in their creative projects. They created a number of videos and still photo ad variants along with these themes with different copy, with some focusing on price and some on short, simple messaging. European audiences based on relevant interests and lookalikes of existing, high-value customers saw the ads across Facebook, Instagram and Messenger over a 24-day period. toucanBox monitored the performance of video and photo ads during the campaign and adjust budgets in favour of the best-performing audiences and ad creative. Video ads drove strong conversions at a fraction of the acquisition cost of still image ads.
