Objectives & Challenges

 

We started working with THS in June 2020, and within months had developed a strong amount of product sales and healthy 6.58:1 ROAS by following regular seasonality and pushing for heating units across the US during winter. Suddenly, in February 2021, the Texas Freeze left millions without power and heating. This natural disaster created a sudden demand for tankless water heaters, which THS was in a good position to accommodate for.

 

The Solution

Moving fast in order to supply the spike in demand, we adapted the goals and strategy of THS’s campaign, shifting our focus to tankless water heater sales via Google Shopping and geo targeting the campaign to the state of Texas.

By taking advantage of historical account data and building a campaign around the top sellers in the tankless water heater category, we managed to optimize on the fly for ROAS, Transaction Value and Conversion Rate.

The Outcome

Quickly reacting to this natural disaster event meant we were able to generate a ROAS of 19.94:1 in just 24 days, resulting in $148k worth of sales for THS. This represented a 203% ROAS increase when compared to THS’s average ROAS of 6.58:1 during 2020, a record set before we started working with them. These results also more than doubled our previous $85k record of sales set in 2020, and represented a 118% ROAS increase when compared with Feb 19 – March 15 2020. Conversions increased by 103%, clicks increased 5100% and impressions soared from next to nothing to over 700,000. In addition to these increases during this short time period, the success of the campaign resulted in THS selling all of their inventory!
