Background

Nespresso has been very popular in Hong Kong and the business was growing well in past years. However, market saturation results in a drop in demand for Nespresso’s coffee machines. Meanwhile, more competitive choices emerged such as re-usable capsules. Altogether, the search volume for Nespresso dropped by 29% YOY (2018 Q1 vs. 2017) for the Hong Kong market. Our task was to uplift the transactions of both coffee capsules along with machines. We needed to change our traditional Search keyword buckets strategy (e.g. Brand, Product) to uplift transactions by deep diving into the coffee consumers’ behavior.

Describe the creative idea (30% of vote)

Coffee embodies exquisiteness and consumers often have their own personal choice of coffee. Coffee reflects who they are and adapts to ones’ mood, needs, and occasions. We studied our CRM & SEM data and identified different consumer segments and characteristics. There were youngsters who are coffee novices, busy hard-working executives who crave strong or black coffee often, explorers who discover coffees from around the world, and discerning experts who master coffee knowledge. Their purchase journeys are different that led to different Online Search behavior too. Our new strategy is to include these NEW INFLUENCING FACTORS to uplift the O-2-O ROI. a) Coffee Interests/ Intent (search for coffee knowledge vs. coffee brewing methods) b) LIFE INTERESTS (their life occasions and mood at that moment) c) PURCHASE OCCASIONS (shop at store or e-shop?) d) COFFEE FLAVOR We achieved this with the 1st-ever TASTE DATA ALGORITHM!

Describe the strategy (20% of vote)

TASTE DATA ALGORITHM uses different new data streams to include those new factors in our SEM strategy: 1) Client’s POS system & Google Analytics: determine offline & online sales respectively 2) Google Analytics: further dissect audience life interests 3) Client’s CRM data: customers’ purchase history / coffee flavors 4) Device signals: search query came from Mobile or Desktop Above data streams are combined with Google AdWords to determine consumer characteristics behind each search query, which led to the numerous Personalized Ad Copies to trigger higher consumer interest. Our algorithm hence determines multiple “personas” for each search query, and as many as 80+ personalized Ad copies were delivered in our campaign period

Describe the execution (20% of vote)

1) Every time a user searches among our keyword lists, a match between POS(offline sales) & GA with AdWords (e.g. mobile number/ email) will determine if that person is a Nespresso customer 2) If yes, we further link to CRM database to review the purchase history to determine his/ her usual flavor 3) We would also reference life interests from GA based on In-market and Affinity segments (short term & actual behavior). This is more important when we determine the search query is not coming from a Nespresso customer in step 1 4) Device signal will determine the likelihood of an offline or online purchase e.g. mobile>on-the-go>prompt them to store e.g. a busy business executive searching on desktop in business hours>higher likelihood for purchase at e-shop 5) Based on the keyword the users search, we further determine their possible consumer characteristics based on their INTENT
