How to increase sales with PPC? Today we would to talk about this marketing opportunity and bring you a successful case study, Cantine.wine. Thanks to PPC (pay per click ads) we almost quadrupled sales of experience vouchers, working on a targeted, vertical strategy on gift ideas. To every need its target audience: the target advertising for the purchase of gift vouchers was managed to offer vertical and engaging proposals, where each product was set up in line with the target audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before moving on to the actual strategy, let&#8217;s find out what PPC is and what are the main recommendations to increase sales.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is PPC marketing (pay per click) for your Travel Marketing Performance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PPC stands for <\/span><b>pay-per-click<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a paid digital advertising model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If in the past people used the Yellow Pages to inquire about a new place to make their purchases, in the digital age, search engines such as Google have become the new source of search. Now, whenever we want to find something new, we look for it on the Internet, whether it&#8217;s a product, a service, a new place, an answer to a question-anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all know it by now: search engines are indispensable marketing channels. The hard part is getting visibility on these pages, considering that most users don&#8217;t go beyond the first three results. Traditional SEO of organic traffic works, but it takes time to achieve high SEO ranking. And in fact, SEO is not the only way to get to the top of Google. There are also paid ads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PPC works by bidding on profitable keywords relevant to your business. When someone clicks on your ad, you are charged a small amount. Hence, the name &#8220;pay per click.&#8221; Basically, you pay for traffic to your website, but if customers increase and so do sales, this channel will soon turn into a major return on your investment (ROI).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are some strategies for increasing sales with PPC &#8211; Case Study Cantine.wine<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working on a target audience in travel marketing means identifying a specific group of people to whom you want to address an advertising or promotional message. In other words, it involves identifying the <\/span><b>target audience<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you want to reach with your marketing campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acting on verticals, on the other hand, means focusing on specific aspects or segments of the market. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, in the case of advertising for wine gift vouchers, with Cantine.wine we segmented our target audience to those who are passionate about wine and food, those who are looking for a gift for him\/her\/they but not necessarily wine-related, those who are looking for an experience with friends, and so on.\u00a0 This strategy allowed us to create engaging and attractive proposals for each target audience, reaching the right audience with the right message, thus increasing the effectiveness of the advertising campaign.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Focus on your USPs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first rule for successful PPC travel marketing is to focus on your <\/span><b>value proposition<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PPC ads require headlines and descriptions of only a few words, so you&#8217;ll need to choose them well, focusing on the best details. This is your value proposition. In other words, it&#8217;s what you bring to the market that competing companies don&#8217;t or can&#8217;t offer as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Cantine.wine we worked on gift ideas related to experiences and not just the economic value of the voucher, a format that the gift certificate giants were not offering. Giving memories by purchasing a very specific experience, which can be modified or extended, is the common thread in Cantine.wine&#8217;s gift certificate-related marketing strategy.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/xeniapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Schermata-2023-03-06-alle-09.10.51.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19327 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/xeniapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Schermata-2023-03-06-alle-09.10.51.png\" alt=\"ppc cantine wine\" width=\"676\" height=\"918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xeniapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Schermata-2023-03-06-alle-09.10.51.png 676w, https:\/\/xeniapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Schermata-2023-03-06-alle-09.10.51-221x300.png 221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify a target audience and provide a solution\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to your value proposition, you must also think about the <\/span><b>audience&#8217;s pain points<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These are the problems or issues your customers face that your products\/services aim to solve. Addressing them in your ads gives relevance and value to your messages. Your audience is more likely to engage when you promise a solution to their problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, with Cantine.wine, experiences range from winery tastings for wine enthusiasts, from those who want to spend a day outdoors with a picnic, to those who want to get active and learn about local food and wine or spend romantic hours on a wedding anniversary. Everything revolves around the world of wine throughout Italy, but through a versatile product. We aimed at those who know wine but also at the undecided, that is, those who want to give a gift but do not yet know what to give.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring out your values and trust\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>Trust<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an important factor in sales. It is difficult to sell to people who do not know or trust you. That is why it is important to share details about your company. Given the brevity of your ads, it may be difficult to include your whole story, which you can do directly on your site. However, you can share brief details that build this essential trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Cantine.wine sentences such as &#8220;good extendable,&#8221; &#8220;no surprises,&#8221; &#8220;we&#8217;ll follow up with you as you choose your experience,&#8221; and many others, help highlight some favorable and trustworthy qualities of your value proposition.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create vertical landing pages in line with target audience and search marketing triggers\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increasing sales through PPC means getting clicks and improving conversions. Every click is a new visitor or lead coming to your website. And every new visitor to your site is a conversion opportunity. To attract your consumer you must have vertical and engaging propositions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s exactly why with Wine Cellars we created sections of different gift vouchers that would appeal to: couples, friends, wine enthusiasts, outdoor lovers, special occasions, clearly visible in the landing page selection and filterable through the selection.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suggest joining loyalty programs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone likes a good deal, or thinking they have saved something for the future. The best and most engaging messages are those that promise immediate value. Anything that offers customers a perceived added value will earn you more clicks and new customers and sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Cantine.wine portal, every voucher purchase directs you to the private page where you can check your wine coins, or cumulative loyalty points with which to get discounts in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encourage reviews to support the product<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you complete the sale, you need to encourage reviews. This way, you establish a virtuous circle in which other customers rely on others to make their purchasing decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By including many different reviews and references on your landing pages, you will make it easier for customers to conduct all their research and considerations in one place.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cantine.wine&#8217;s success with PPC Travel Marketing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some metrics that testify to what we are talking about:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/xeniapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Schermata-2023-03-06-alle-09.11.47.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19329\" src=\"https:\/\/xeniapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Schermata-2023-03-06-alle-09.11.47.png\" alt=\"ppc cantine wine\" width=\"698\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xeniapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Schermata-2023-03-06-alle-09.11.47.png 698w, https:\/\/xeniapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Schermata-2023-03-06-alle-09.11.47-300x130.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4>Rely on XeniaPro for your PPC Travel Marketing!<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to boost your Travel Marketing Performance?
