In the competitive world of e-commerce, driving consistent sales and building brand recognition can be a challenge. Søstrene Grene tackled this challenge head-on.

By combining consideration and shopping campaigns with direct links, they ensured that their audience could move easily from engaging spring ads to their website for single-click purchases. The Pinterest Conversions API (CAPI) connected the dots, providing a smooth sales flow and accurate tracking sales tracking.

Søstrene Grene had a new spring collection in the works, and they were ready to try a new strategy to jump-start sales. They took a two-part approach.

First, they built the foundation with an always-on shopping campaign that spanned the entire first quarter. This ensured consistent visibility across their eleven European markets. Then they layered in a two-week consideration campaign, perfectly timed to tap into the springtime shopping buzz. 

With ten consideration ads in play, Søstrene Grene used Pinterest tools to optimise their performance. They employed broad interest and keyword targeting within their consideration campaigns to reach people during the decision-making stage. Then, they used dynamic retargeting with their shopping campaigns to nudge those who had previously interacted with content closer to purchase. 

The Pinterest Conversions API gave Søstrene Grene more visibility into their campaign performance by allowing them to match, attribute and measure conversions with more accuracy. Direct links within their ads streamlined the shopping experience, taking people swiftly from ad to the spring collection. The result was a well-orchestrated campaign that set the brand up for a sales boost.

Søstrene Grene's carefully planned Pinterest campaign delivered a satisfying 4x return on ad spend (ROAS)¹. It seems their investment in fresh spring visuals and smart re-targeting wasn't just ad creative best practice – it was financially savvy.
