Their Story: Fashion You Can Live In

XCVI is a women’s fashion brand that celebrates the strength and diversity of women, designing clothes that work for their individual lifestyles. Women who are unapologetic of who they are and what they want out of life. It fashions clothes for the confident, the bold, and the adventurous.

Their Goal: Work in Sync

XCVI is primarily a wholesaler, but has recently decided to start selling to customers itself to maximize on potential revenue. In doing so, XCVI needed to make sure that it was not competing with retailers (and ultimately itself) throughout its advertising efforts.

Vantage helped us find a healthy balance between our own marketing efforts and our retailers. The pre-built audiences designed using our own store data made it easy for us to advertise to the customers that have already shown interest in us.

– Lisa Schmidt, XCVI

Their Solution: Custom Audiences

With a new B2C strategy on its way, XCVI looked to Facebook Marketing Partner Vantage to help it not only manage its advertising campaigns, but also its audiences to ensure that they would not conflict with those of its retailers.

XCVI enlisted Vantage’s Smart Campaigns to collect key store data to build custom audiences. Using the audiences, XCVI paired dynamic product ads with website visitors to target only those customers that have shown an interest in its store. Doing so ensured that only customers visiting its store, rather than the retailers would be reached by its ads.

Vantage also continually checked campaigns every hour to optimize ads; making tweaks as needed to highlight the best placements and product categories. In this way, XCVI was able to maximize its return on ad spend as the campaign progressed.

23X return on ad spend
13.74% click-through rate on ads
$0.62 cost per click on ads
90% less time spent on campaign creation
