Case Study:

Taking Mikro Coffee Roasters from low App Downloads to Soaring eCommerce Sales in Less Than 30 Days with Our Innovative Marketing Approach

Client Overview

Mikro Coffee Roasters, a well-established and highly regarded Australian coffee roaster and retailer, aimed to capitalise on their robust eCommerce platform and cultivate a larger user base for their mobile app.

Despite making several advertising endeavours, they encountered difficulties in generating substantial app downloads and driving sales, prompting them to venture into unorthodox approaches in order to overcome these challenges.

Objective

The primary objective of the marketing campaign was to revolutionise Mikro Coffee Roasters’ existing marketing approach.

The focus was twofold: to significantly boost the number of app downloads and to achieve remarkable success in terms of eCommerce sales.

Recognizing the need for a strategic overhaul, the aim was to implement fresh and innovative tactics that would captivate the target audience, entice them to download the app, and ultimately convert them into loyal customers who regularly made purchases through the eCommerce platform.

With these goals in mind, a comprehensive plan was devised to revitalise the marketing strategy and propel Mikro Coffee Roasters to new heights of success in the digital landscape.

Goals And Measures Of Success

Success would be measured by a notable increase in app downloads and a spike in eCommerce sales, along with a reduction in customer acquisition cost.

Drive App Downloads:

The primary goal was to generate a substantial increase in the number of app downloads. By implementing effective marketing strategies and captivating campaigns, the aim was to attract a larger audience and encourage them to download the Mikro Coffee Roasters mobile app.

Success would be measured by a notable surge in app downloads compared to the previous performance, demonstrating an expanded user base and increased engagement with the brand.

Boost eCommerce Sales:

Another crucial objective was to achieve a significant boost in eCommerce sales. Through strategic marketing initiatives, the focus was on driving conversions and encouraging customers to make purchases through the eCommerce platform.

The measure of success would be reflected in a considerable spike in sales revenue, highlighting the effectiveness of the revamped marketing approach in driving tangible business growth.

Preserve Mikro's Brand Image:

Maintaining Mikro Coffee Roasters' premium brand image was a paramount goal throughout the campaign. While pursuing increased app downloads and eCommerce sales, it was essential to ensure that the brand's reputation for quality, craftsmanship, and excellence remained intact.

Success would be gauged by the ability to enhance customer perception of Mikro Coffee Roasters as a prestigious and trustworthy coffee retailer, reinforcing their position as a premium brand in the industry.

Maintain Customer Loyalty:

Customer loyalty was a critical aspect of the campaign's objectives. In addition to attracting new customers and driving sales, preserving the loyalty of existing customers was imperative.

By delivering exceptional experiences, personalized offers, and maintaining a strong connection with the customer base, the measure of success would be reflected in the retention of loyal customers and their continued engagement with Mikro Coffee Roasters.

Overall, the campaign’s success would be measured by the achievement of these goals, showcasing the tangible business growth and enhanced brand reputation for Mikro Coffee Roasters.

Our Strategy

To captivate the target audience and create a powerful connection, we harnessed Mikro Coffee Roasters' 'Inner-Business Drama' (IBD) as the foundation of our marketing strategy. This approach involved crafting a compelling emotional narrative that resonated with potential customers. We highlighted Mikro's surplus of unsold coffee, a consequence of losing a wholesale customer, and their commitment to giving back to the community.

Central to our strategy was the development of a compelling offer: “Double your order for FREE.” This enticing proposition aimed to incentivize customers to make purchases and contribute to Mikro’s mission of community support. By doubling their orders at no additional cost, customers were not only gaining value but also actively participating in Mikro’s philanthropic efforts.

To amplify the reach and impact of our campaign, we adopted an unconventional ad buying strategy known as Alternative Objective Strategies (AOS). This multi-objective approach encompassed various campaign types, including Reach, Engagement, Video Views, and App Instals. By diversifying our objectives, we maximised the potential for customer engagement, brand awareness, and app downloads.

Through Reach campaigns, we aimed to expand the campaign’s visibility to a broader audience, ensuring that Mikro’s narrative reached as many potential customers as possible. Engagement campaigns encouraged active participation, fostering meaningful interactions with the brand and its message. Video Views campaigns allowed us to showcase Mikro’s story through captivating visual content, generating emotional connections and driving engagement. Finally, App Installs campaigns specifically targeted potential users of the mobile app, directing them towards downloading the app and experiencing Mikro’s offerings firsthand.

By implementing this multi-objective approach and weaving an emotional narrative around Mikro’s Inner-Business Drama, we aimed to engage and inspire customers, ultimately driving them to take action, make purchases, and download the app.

Our Process

Our approach seamlessly merged strategic planning with the art of storytelling, resulting in a powerful and effective marketing campaign for Mikro Coffee Roasters. Here’s how we accomplished it:

1) Our Unique Sales Copy Framework: To maximise the impact of our messaging and leverage Mikro’s Inner-Business Drama (IBD), we employed our unique 8-Step B-D-O-C-B-S-S-P Sales Copy Framework. This framework allowed us to craft a persuasive and engaging narrative that resonated with the target audience. By following a structured approach, we ensured that our communication was compelling, coherent, and aligned with Mikro’s brand identity.

2) Leveraging Inner-Business Drama (IBD): Recognizing the potential of Mikro’s Inner-Business Drama, we skillfully incorporated it into our storytelling. By highlighting their surplus of unsold coffee due to the loss of a wholesale customer, and their intention to give back to the community, we created an emotional narrative that struck a chord with the audience. This emotional connection fueled engagement and enhanced the overall effectiveness of the campaign.

3) Alternative Objective Strategies (AOS): To optimise our ad campaigns for multiple objectives, we implemented an unconventional ad buying strategy called Alternative Objective Strategies (AOS). This approach allowed us to diversify our campaign objectives beyond mere conversions. By including Reach, Engagement, Video Views, and App Instals campaigns, we maximised the reach, engagement, and visibility of Mikro Coffee Roasters’ message, ultimately driving both app downloads and sales.

4) Crafting an Emotional Narrative: We meticulously crafted an emotional narrative that appealed to customers’ hearts and desires. By combining storytelling techniques, Mikro’s Inner-Business Drama, and an understanding of their target audience, we created a compelling story that resonated deeply. This emotional connection served as a powerful motivator for customers to engage with the brand, download the app, and make purchases.

5) Data-Driven Strategies: While the campaign relied on storytelling and emotional appeal, it was also grounded in data-driven strategies. We utilised data to inform our decision-making, optimise ad targeting, and measure campaign performance. By analysing key metrics and insights, we could fine-tune our approach, ensuring that our efforts generated tangible results and a solid return on investment.

Through the seamless integration of strategy, storytelling, and data-driven techniques, we delivered a compelling marketing campaign for Mikro Coffee Roasters. Our approach effectively captured the attention and emotions of the audience, driving both app downloads and sales while maintaining the brand’s integrity and premium image.

The emotional appeal generated through storytelling served as a catalyst for increased engagement, app downloads, and sales.

Synergy of Data-Driven Strategies:

The integration of data into our approach allowed us to fine-tune our strategies, maximise efficiency, and achieve tangible results.

Diversification of Ad Objectives:

Diversifying ad objectives can yield significant benefits.
