Recipe Targeting:

To do this, the brand both enacted a widespread targeting tactic to reach shoppers looking for their products in recipes (whipping cream, heavy cream, half and half), but also aligned products with relevant usage occasions like healthy breakfasts, plant-based diets and vegan meals to identify potential new shoppers.

Results

The campaign generated over $85k in products sent to baskets online, but also generated one store visit per five shoppers reached, proving that the broad recipe targeting strategy was a surefire way to launch new products effectively to market, both online and off.
