THE CHALLENGE

Since it was founded in 2012, MyRunway has grown to be South Africa's largest private online shopping club. The sitehosts over 500 high-end brands for sale at a discounted price to their exclusive online society. In a bid to grow this member-base, one of MyRunway’s primary strategies is to find fresh ways to acquire new customers.

OUR APPROACH

Conversion Science conducted a test over the Black Friday period, during which 2 different sign-up campaigns were implemented. One was a standard web sign-up conversion campaign, the other an in-platform leadform campaign. Results showed that making use of the built-in lead forms produced a sign-up volume 47% higher than that of the normal format, at 27% lower CPA.

THE RESULTS

Test results showed that making use of the built-in lead forms produced a sign-up volume 47% higher than that of the web format, at 27% lower CPA.  After achieving these results, Conversion Science included the lead form campaign format into the always-on campaigns which resulted in overall CPA on the channel being brought down by 54%.
