CaseStudy: #CutestCouple contest
In days leading up to Valentine’s Day
Special Feb Issue, we launched a
nation wide contest called the
#CutestCouple Contest.
We requested couples from around
the world to send in a picture that is
quirky & unique.
We in turn, uploaded the picture on a
single album and winners were
selected using a combination of
number of likes and uniqueness of the
picture.

37. Retargetting can be another cost effective medium
A user visits your
website and may
or may not
complete an
action
Google/Adroll places
a “cookie” in this
user’s browser to
show they visited your
website
The user leaves your
website and navigates
through other websites
on the Display Network
The “cookie” triggers
your ad to show on
these sites. This gives
you another chance to
advertise to this user
38. Use free Analytics tools to track – e.g. Google Analytics
Who are they? How are they
getting to your site?
What are they doing
once they get there?
When are they
visiting?
