Badkamerxxl

Project Overview

In the highly competitive market for sanitary and wellness products, Badkamerxxl stands as a prominent Dutch retailer with a massive catalog of over 50,000 products, serving both online shoppers and physical showroom visitors. Despite its strong market position, the brand faced a critical challenge: achieving sustainable, profitable growth while navigating the complexities of high-volume, multi-channel retail.

The existing advertising strategy was constrained by two major factors: stagnant Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) and difficulty in accurately attributing the value of high-value, but offline, showroom appointments. This case study details the strategic intervention that focused on optimization and smart attribution, resulting in a significant +33% increase in ROAS and 25% more showroom appointments.

Challenges

  • Margin-Based Complexity
  • Offline Attribution Gap
  • "Zombie" Product Underperformance
  • Stagnant ROAS

My Solution

  • Profit-First Product Prioritization: Campaigns were restructured to use advanced product feed optimization (such as AI-enhanced tools) to prioritize high-margin products. This ensured that ad spend focused on items delivering the highest return.
  • Feed Optimization Blitz: Titles, descriptions, and product attributes for underperforming items (the "zombie" products) were overhauled. This massive optimization effort immediately boosted their search visibility and relevance in Google Shopping and Performance Max campaigns.
  • Full Attribution Model for Showrooms: Implemented a robust tracking system to correctly link online ad clicks to offline showroom appointment bookings. By assigning a high value to these appointments, the algorithm was trained to bid more aggressively on high-intent lead-generation searches.
  • Target ROAS (tROAS) Calibration: Switched from volume-based bidding to a precise Target ROAS strategy, allowing the system to constantly self-optimize bids to hit the desired profitability target.
