Goals

  • Savings.com wanted to drive incremental coupon redemptions while maintaining its ROAS.
  • The brand sought to maximize profits from its digital campaigns—even if it meant increasing its ad spend.
  • Savings.com aimed to save time for its campaign managers by reducing their need to monitor multiple Google Ads bid adjustments for location and audience.

Approach

  • Savings.com tested 32 campaigns with Google’s Target ROAS (tROAS) bidding strategy and compared results with its own manual bidding efforts.
  • Smart Bidding allowed Savings.com to set unique bids for every auction while optimizing against a wider range of contextual signals.
  • tROAS consistently optimized campaigns across all devices toward an aggressive target ROAS, and maintained that ROAS once it was reached.
  • With the success of tROAS Smart Bidding, the brand increased its campaign spend, continues to bid more strategically, and now gets more high-value conversions.

“The tROAS bid strategy consistently drove an increase in high-value conversions while maintaining the desired campaign ROAS.”

– Tim Katlic, Director of Marketing at Savings.com
