[CASE] 1529 leads for women's embroidery courses for 89 cents
Hello there! It's Dmitry Matvienko - marketing specialist. I specialize in info business and promotion of courses, marathons, and training. This is the 4th case in this area.
Task
An embroidery school approached me for help. They didn't have enough leads and needed another constant traffic source. They received Leads from Vkontakte and needed to expand on Instagram to increase turnover and profit.
Sales funnel
The client sells their courses according to this scheme:
Advertising - taplink.ru - WhatsApp - closing by the manager. The product costs 43 dollars.
I suggested another funnel: Advertising — whatshelp (mailing service) — a series of warming letters — a free webinar — closing on the main product. And also within this funnel to make 3 prices: 25, 49 and 86$. And, accordingly, add value to the product so that it costs much more than this price.
The client refused this idea and said that we would test the current funnel since it works very well on Vkontakte, and we need to repeat the result on Instagram. So I didn't insist anymore, and we started testing.
The first advertising campaign
I decided to test the first campaign to communicate and optimize WhatsApp messages for a broad audience.
Audiences
For the test, I took an audience of Women 20-50 in Russia Interests embroidery.
Creatives
Here are examples of creatives that ultimately worked best in the first campaign. The most important thing in them: are brevity, minimalism, and contrast.
The main task: was to catch the attention of the girl at this stage, so that she followed the link on WhatsApp and wrote.

Difficulties
People were getting into WhatsApp, and they didn't have any welcome messages. Conversion to an email suffered from this and the price of the application.

Total received: 11 leads
Lead price: 2.22 dollars
According to the ads, №1 went best at a lead price of 2 dollars. Examples of pictures from there are shown above.

Then I decided to change the strategy through the taplink, as in the funnel above: Advertising — taplink.ru — WhatsApp — closing by the manager.

Totals
Total advertising statistics
Spent: 1360.5 dollars
Received leads: 1529 leads (+ subscribers to Instagram, which can buy later through warming content)
Lead price: 89 cents
Conclusion
The client was generally satisfied with the results but wanted more. Initially, KPIs of 62 cents or less were set, as Vk managed to achieve such results with such a funnel. I suggested changing the funnel, but the client refused. I conducted many tests in 2 months sometimes, I managed to reach a KPI of 62 cents, but there was no stability. I would make a funnel with warming up through content and mailing lists if there was an opportunity. And in this way, we would warm up the audience, increase loyalty, and reduce the total price of the client as a result. But this is an entirely different story…
