This is the crystal-clear business case showing the improvement by providing the client who had been struggling with faltering sales although they were previously running PPC ads with another company with following actions.

• Developing the structure of ads accounts on the assumption of the use of AdScale Enterprise
• Manual adjustment for the right advertisement distribution
• Optimizing PPC ads campaigns automatically by using AdScale Enterprise

To be more specific, we implemented the following actions.

• To start sales tracking and retargeting campaign by reconsidering the account tag setting
• To reconsider the best KPI and change the KPI from CPA to ROAS so that we could start promotion/optimization based on sales
• To expand ads distribution to GDN and Facebook Ads to maximize sales
• To evaluate the result by sending regular reports including sales on Shopify
• To improve promotions using Google Shopping/Facebook catalog by reconsidering products feed

If you are struggling with sales faltering through the websites by running PPC campaigns, let us check how much space to improve you have by testing your account by AdScale Enterprise.

Also, this service is introduced not only to Generate Design but also to The Friendly Swede, the Swedish brand which handle bags inspired by Swedish active lifestyle.

Ronnie Kattan, Director, Generate Design Japan says:
“Since working with SOPHOLA, we’ve seen a 193% increase in sales year on year! The reason, why Generate Design Japan entrusted SOPHOLA with ad management, is that SOPHOLA has created the load map for the improvement of account performance after doing account analysis and they keep the action with the load map and we were satisfied with the contents.

Also, we are starting to talk about another shop-brand support plan.”

Masaki Iino, Founder & CEO of SOPHOLA, Inc says:
“SOPHOLA already has a solid track record of supporting global tech companies — 22 of such firms to enter and scale in Japan’s market since the beginning. We are very excited to expanding our service portfolio to global brands at their market entry/expansion here in Japan, and we have helped several companies from other markets such as The Friendly Swede, Knut Gadd, Ava Trade, and Generate Design.

Our unique expertise combining the market knowledge with the state-of-art global tech enables us to set up the global businesses, build the brand awareness, and open up the crucial sales channels, and optimize your e-commerce businesses in this difficult market as if it was in an English-speaking market.”
