For brands that are yet to launch their <strong>holiday marketing campaigns<\/strong>, it\u2019s now or never. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-future-of-commerce.com\/2020\/12\/14\/2020-holiday-e-commerce-stats\/\">trends over the last couple of years<\/a> are anything to go by, search traffic for holiday offers should be picking up rapidly beyond the first week of November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that the holiday season can account for up to <a href=\"https:\/\/nrf.com\/topics\/holiday-and-seasonal-trends\/winter-holidays\/winter-holiday-faqs\">30%<\/a> of overall sales for the entire year, small businesses, in particular, must be \u2018holiday ready\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is you do not have to be a unicorn to come up with attractive offers or target the right channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look closely, you\u2019ll see that the biggest brands have broadly the same goals as you \u2013 <strong>customer acquisition<\/strong> and <strong>engagement<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the exact KPIs may vary from niche to niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what is it that attracts shoppers to billion-dollar brands like a moth to a flame? (Hint: It\u2019s not how much they spend on marketing.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As they say, success leaves clues. To help you uncover how brands like Amazon and Klarna strategize for their hugely successful holiday marketing campaigns, we bring you exclusive insights from a <strong>Growth Lab panel discussion<\/strong> streamed recently on Run the World, a video meeting app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1480\" height=\"774\" src=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/featured-image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12505\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The event featured top growth marketing leaders, including <strong>Beth Murphy<\/strong>, Global Head of Growth Marketing at Amazon Music, and <strong>Jon Chang<\/strong>, Head of Global Shopping Growth Marketing at Klarna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rocketium\u2019s <strong>Satej Sirur<\/strong> rounded out the guest panel while <strong>Derric Hayne<\/strong>, Chief eCommerce Technologist at eCommerceTech.io, moderated the discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon Music ad campaigns are known for setting new standards when it comes to holiday music and therefore needs no introduction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Klarna is a leading FinTech provider specializing in eCommerce checkout solutions with brands like Sephora, Etsy, Forever 21 among its clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll notice that even though both companies enjoy a high degree of brand recall, they focus a lot on optimizing their internal systems and processes to meet changing campaign requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we synthesize the insights shared by the panelists around planning and executing successful holiday marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Amazon Music and Klarna Strategize for Holiday Marketing Campaigns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Structuring Holiday Marketing Campaigns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most brands start high-level planning for their holiday marketing campaigns by Q3 itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes clarifying the overall business goals, deciding campaign KPIs, and the segmentation and targeting strategies to achieve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the exact campaign structure varies widely from industry to industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Beth\u2019s team runs multiple, long-duration Amazon Music ad campaigns throughout the holiday season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As CPMs increase dramatically during this time, they focus primarily on acquiring new users across different music genres and driving them deeper into the funnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"358\" src=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/amazon-music.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12503\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Jon, Klarna is frontloading its campaigns for the September to October timeframe this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal for the Klarna campaign team is to try and capitalize on the increased demand for new smartphones seen right after Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brand is hoping to leverage price drop notifications to target smart shoppers looking to buy goods likely to sell out faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of broadcasting the notifications in bulk, Klarna is trying to have users save the items they are interested in buying to a wish list and then opt-in for the notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In doing this, the company aims to \u201chit higher scale without increasing human resources\u201d or force-feeding recommendations to customers and saying, \u201cbuy this product when you may not want to buy\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tmobiletuesdays.jpg\" alt=\"A peek into the TMobile Tuesdays campaign\" class=\"wp-image-12509\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The company has also come up with a CRM retargeting strategy focussed on around 1.5 million inactive users this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Via a dedicated Klarna ad campaign, Jon hopes to drive re-engagement and repeat sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John was also quite optimistic about their strategic partnerships with D2C brands like TMobile, which runs a popular program called TMobile Tuesdays, where over 81 million app users log in every Tuesday to find out new deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has helped native Klarna campaigns reach hundreds of thousands of new users in a short time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What KPI\u2019s Define Holiday Campaign Success<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to holiday marketing campaigns, deciding the right KPIs is half the battle won. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can help you attribute specific ad variations to conversions and do more of what works in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the right KPIs can also help you better understand the reasons for cart abandonment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, for this to happen, tracking relevant KPIs should begin at the top of the funnel itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are called proxy KPIs. At Amazon<strong>, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/how-to-build-a-bankable-user-acquisition-strategy\/?utm_source=blog_post&amp;utm_medium=amazon-music-klarna-holiday-campaign&amp;utm_campaign=Blog_internal_linking\">Customer Acquisition Cost<\/a> or CAC has always been the bottom line goal, Beth says. However, the proxy metrics change from campaign to campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, they use CTR as a proxy metric to predict conversion rates. In addition, the Amazon Music ad campaign team sets CAC goals quarterly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Klarna focused more on total shopping volume\/total quantity of transactions processed through the app. This was because Klarna earned a relatively low percentage of every transaction, Jon says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though CAC was still a priority, Klarna campaigns were more \u201coffer-driven\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So even though the team ended up discounting a lot of individual purchases, <strong>the increase in shopping volume offsets any decrease in average order value due to discounts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou really need to pay attention to the relationship between the different metrics,\u201d Jon asserts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also helps brands rationalize their discounts and protect their margins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to tailor ads for different segments and cohorts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Amazon Music<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Segmentation plays a critical role in how successful holiday marketing campaigns can be, more so than at other times during the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beth echoes the same sentiment as she describes Amazon Music\u2019s approach to segmentation: Amazon Music ads are targeted to high propensity buyers based on propensity models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it worked for only a small percentage of the overall audience. Based on its vast experience, the company preferred to segment its audience by channel, Beth says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mapping creative assets starts at least a month or two earlier at Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This, she said, was critical for testing different concepts across channels. She also advised marketers to avoid following the herd in terms of positioning and creative design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, lifestyle imagery performed poorly compared to text-based offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"228\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/anghami.jpg\" alt=\"lifestyle imagery in banner\" class=\"wp-image-12511\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, simple, short CTAs were likely to work better than those that also mentioned the product\u2019s price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though static creative is considered largely outdated today, Beth said it can sometimes do <strong>better <\/strong>than video or animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key was to monitor the creative fatigue curve continuously. Then, for high-frequency channels like Facebook, Beth recommended <strong>regular creative refresh <\/strong>for increased engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was equally important for <a href=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/is\/in-app-campaigns\/?utm_source=blog_post&amp;utm_medium=amazon-music-klarna-holiday-campaign&amp;utm_campaign=Blog_internal_linking\">in-app campaigns<\/a>, she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Amazon-Music-Banner-Collage.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Music Creative Refresh \" class=\"wp-image-12512\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/what-is-creative-refresh-how-to-beat-banner-blindness\/?utm_source=blog_post&amp;utm_medium=amazon-music-klarna-holiday-campaign&amp;utm_campaign=Blog_internal_linking\">Creative refresh<\/a> was essential to run high frequency yet evergreen campaigns, keeping users engaged for longer. However, everything needed to be tailored to specific channels, Beth emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conversation then turned to how far in advance Amazon Music created refresh assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beth explained that Q4 was a hectic time for her team as they needed to run AB tests, cater to multiple creative requests, decide whether to outsource creative design or use in-house talent and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the volumes were high, she would rather concentrate on creating creative assets and then carrying out AB testing later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, since Amazon Music has a global audience, the focus was on creating global assets in terms of languages, platforms, etc. \u201c<em>But we try to front-load everything<\/em>,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beth had a word of advice for smaller brands- it is not all about brand affinity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven though we have x% unaided awareness, our performance is better when people understand our brand,\u201d she observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though Amazon Music had plenty of best practices around logo size, ATL\/BTL strategies, and accurate models to calculate ROI, Beth suggests that small business owners <strong>\u201cmake the offer the hero\u201d<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason: \u201cgreat offers draw people even if you don\u2019t have brand awareness.\u201d Look at any Amazon Music ad and you\u2019re likely to see this philosophy in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Amazon-Music-offer-1.png\" alt=\"Amazon Music make the offer the hero\" class=\"wp-image-12501\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Amazon-Music-offer-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Amazon Music make the offer the hero\" class=\"wp-image-12502\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Klarna<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Jon had a different perspective on segmentation. Klarna ads used a broad targeting strategy as the \u201cmajority of our budget was spent on primary networks like Google and Facebook, which are good at pushing creatives to the right people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it came to the conversion cycle, his team tried to \u201c<em>over-engineer our on-boarding and conversion to first purchase. This is because you can now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softermii.com\/blog\/everything-about-buy-now-pay-later-app-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buy now, pay later<\/a> anywhere.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary focus of a typical Klarna ad campaign was on <strong>targeting smaller businesses<\/strong>, he said. Events like <strong>Small Business Saturday<\/strong> that fall on or around November 27 suited Klarna\u2019s acquisition strategy. Post-pandemic, it was vital for brands to harness the emotional reason why people purchase, he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Themes like shop local and finding new types of products were likely to resonate with audiences during the holiday season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, he urged brands to focus on value. \u201cPeople are going to be offered a billion products, Klarna\u2019s value proposition should be &#8211; here are 10 more things you can buy right now,\u201d he explained, quoting the company\u2019s CMO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key is to find different messaging angles into holiday marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Klarna-banner.jpeg\" alt=\"Klarna's messaging for holiday campaign\" class=\"wp-image-12506\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it make sense to build creatives around seasonal products? According to Jon, it depends on the type of channel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While developing Klarna\u2019s ad strategy, the focus is on building multiple assets for driving activations, including Black Friday checklists, gamification, \u201812 Days of Deals\u2019 themed content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Klarna.png\" alt=\"Klarna's 12 Days of Deals banner\" class=\"wp-image-12507\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>They also use curated and popular wish lists extensively to drive in-app conversions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to technology, the Klarna ad campaign team is able to dynamically update the most trending items, in different languages across six regions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key problem, Jon says, is how to scale without repeating the same steps over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing offers, price points, and imagery dynamically is precisely what brands need to make the most of their segmentation strategies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving the example of the price war between Flipkart (India\u2019s leading eCommerce company owned by Walmart) and Amazon, Satej said that they need to make last-minute changes to offers to compete with each other and attract price-conscious buyers while protecting their margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5 Key Areas to Optimize for a Successful Holiday Marketing Campaign<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the post-pandemic scenario, brands need to adopt an agile approach to campaign planning and execution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will help them iterate their messaging and convert customers faster and more effectively than the competition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are five key areas that growth-oriented brands must be laser-focused on to drive successful holiday marketing campaigns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Segmentation&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/HpCvl4K6aUy5YtnWUNmCFz5aLo5ED1J5uVvpPYNmdqZrqwc0gGcNloJcxuFBZzlgkcYJUPgo3XwFpkNIV7zoBFEQLeqtfdcmLLFk0JlKaDMSl5MJqzpoiZcoA-KF4K2FvdobN7Tr\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to campaign success is <strong>strategic segmentation<\/strong>. Satej shared plenty of examples of segmentation strategies based on factors like location and demographics, purchase history\/user affinity, and browsing history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These were already being leveraged successfully by brands across verticals like music streaming, EdTech, eCommerce, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To increase conversion probability, segmentation should be backed by relevant offers across channels which, in turn, demands personalized creatives at scale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/what-is-a-creative-management-platform-cmp-vendor-guide\/?utm_source=blog_post&amp;utm_medium=amazon-music-klarna-holiday-campaign&amp;utm_campaign=Blog_internal_linking\">Creative management platforms<\/a> like Rocketium cut marketers\u2019 dependence on design teams for adapting banners for different segments at short notice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/is\/bulk-create-with-csv\/?utm_source=blog_post&amp;utm_medium=amazon-music-klarna-holiday-campaign&amp;utm_campaign=Blog_internal_linking\">feed-based creative production feature<\/a>, you can generate fresh creatives within seconds through a spreadsheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"283\" src=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Bulk-CSV-Main-1.gif\" alt=\"Bulk create banners from spreadsheet\" class=\"wp-image-12140\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.
