The Challenge
Watchfinder, a leading UK retailer of premium, pre-owned watches, was facing a challenge in re-engaging its site visitors who showed interest in their products but did not make a purchase. The company found that buying decisions often took time, spanning weeks or months, with less than 1% of visitors completing purchases on their first site visit. In addition to driving customers back to its site, Watchfinder also wanted to encourage customers to visit its new physical boutique in the London Royal Exchange.
About The Customer
Watchfinder is a leading UK retailer of premium, pre-owned watches. The company was founded in 2002 as an online-only store selling watches from more than 80 premier manufacturers. Today, it has an annual turnover of £25 million and has recently opened a flagship boutique in the London Royal Exchange. The average order value on Watchfinder’s site is over £3,500, and the company found that buying decisions often took time, often spanning weeks or months.
The Solution
Watchfinder's agency, Periscopix, suggested Remarketing with Google Analytics as a solution to reconnect with users. They created 20 highly focused lists of visitors who demonstrated intent but did not purchase, based on various aspects of user context such as location, language, and what stage of the purchase funnel they were in. On-site behavior helped establish groups that had spent a certain amount of time on the site or had viewed a certain number of pages. Other lists were created around users who had viewed a specific watch brand on the site. Google Analytics’ functionality enabled Periscopix to convey tailored messages to these key groups of interested consumers.
Operational Impact
  • The remarketing campaign resulted in a 1300% return on investment.
  • Average order value on the site increased by 13%.
  • The remarketing campaign resulted in 34% lower CPAs than Watchfinder’s non-brand search campaigns.
Quantitative Benefit
  • 1300% return on investment from the remarketing campaign.
  • 13% increase in average order value on the site.
  • 34% lower CPAs than non-brand search campaigns.
