Their Objective

Hamlin Foundation approached Uplers with a clear objective to achieve while managing the campaigns.
  • Increase the spend from the granted amount by Google every month.

  • Increase revenue from the Donations & Hamlin shop.

The Challenges

Uplers primarily faced the following challenges with the account:

  • The first and foremost challenge was to increase the amount spent. Initially, when Uplers onboarded Hamlin, they just had a spend of around $500-$1000 per month.
  • There was a need to increase relevant traffic.
  • Also, there was a difficulty in increasing the media spend every month. The grant policy restricted the bidding limit of $2 per keyword.
  • It was observed at multiple times that the ads used to get disapproved because of the products going out of stock.
  • There was a decline in CTR. As per the grant account policies, Uplers had to maintain a CTR of above 5%.

Uplers’ Strategy

Uplers recommended several campaign strategies to achieve business objectives. These strategies included:

  • More usage of broad terms to increase traffic.

  • Keeping a regular check on the products being introduced on the website, in order to be relevant to the audience, to increase traffic & spend.

  • Continuous refreshing of ads to create brand awareness for the events taking place in Hamlin, thus improving the revenue.

  • Ran several Display Campaigns in Google Paid Account for GDN benefits.

  • For some essential events like Mother’s Day, Tax Appeal, Christmas Appeal, shifting the keywords asking for bids more than $2 from Grant Account to the Paid Account, to improve its visibility.

  • Regular restructuring of campaigns in order to keep it properly themed & intensify campaigns in order to increase shop revenue & donations.
