From Bottle to App: Beverage Brand Achieves 4x Installs & 200% CVR Increase

Campaign Case Study.

From Bottled Water to Brand Buzz, Nova’s Winning Formula

‍

The Challenge

Building app as a sales distribution channel

For FMCG and beverage brands, customer acquisition has become increasingly difficult due to intense competition. Shelf space with 3rd party retailers, both virtual and physical, comes at a high premium. Nova Water, a Saudi Arabian bottled water brand, wanted to strengthen their direct-to-consumer strategy to gain an upper hand inthis highly saturated market, building up their own app as a distribution channel to boost engagement, acquire new users and ultimately drivesales.

‍

Overview

Targeted, data-driven app advertising building on seasonal purchase moments

Our in-app execution built upon an integration with Nova Water’s mobile measurement platform (MMP) to drive installs (phase 1) and in-app orders (phase 2), using:

• Lookalike audiences based on top existing spenders to tap into new address able audience segments and attract higher quality user
• Seasonal promotions using tailored creative assets designed to capture peak consumer intent and maximise engagement
• Ongoing optimisation towards post-install orders to drive consistent month-on-month improvement in the install-to-purchase rate, a key quality metric
• Flexible budgets to account for fluctuations in customerdemand and to allow for a rapid mobilization of mediainvestment to performing strategies and audiences.
