1️⃣ Initial Research & Strategic Planning

To succeed in the fast-paced auto accessory market, I began with deep analysis:

• Product Breakdown: Focused on high-demand products like seat covers, dash cams, LED lighting, wireless chargers, and organizers
  
  
• Consumer Insights: Targeted auto enthusiasts, DIY modifiers, safety-conscious drivers, and daily commuters
  
  
• Competitor Review: Assessed top players in Amazon & DTC auto niche to understand pricing, angles, and positioning
  
  
• Strategy Blueprint: Built a full-funnel approach focused on value, utility, and visual appeal of the products
  
  

2️⃣ Audience Targeting Strategy

With a broad potential base, I crafted segmented targeting based on behavior and interest:

• Interests: Car mods, vehicle accessories, off-roading, auto detailing, dash cams, safety gear, Amazon automotive
  
  
• Behaviors: Engaged shoppers, car owners, frequent online buyers, road trippers, auto DIYers
  
  
• Custom Audiences: Past website visitors, cart abandoners, video viewers, and purchasers
  
  
• Lookalikes: Modeled from high-ticket purchasers and repeat buyers (1%, 3%, and broad LALs for scaling)
  
  
• Demographics: Focused on males 24–45 and homeowners with multiple vehicles or long commutes
  
  

3️⃣ Campaign Funnel Structure

Created a conversion-focused funnel tailored to auto product buyers’ intent:

• Top of Funnel (TOF): Eye-catching demo videos of accessories in use, unboxing reels, and problem-solution creatives
  
  
• Middle of Funnel (MOF): Highlighted product reviews, comparison carousels, and use-case features
  
  
• Bottom of Funnel (BOF): Retargeted with urgency-based offers, testimonials, and Dynamic Product Ads (DPA)
  
  

All campaigns used CBO with Advantage+ placements and granular retargeting layers.

4️⃣ Creatives & Messaging Strategy

Automotive buyers want performance, utility, and convenience — my creatives emphasized all three:

• Video Ads: In-car demos, “before vs. after” upgrades, installation ease
  
  
• Carousels: Multiple product benefits shown side-by-side (e.g., “Stay organized – Drive smarter”)
  
  
• Problem-Solution Ads: “Tired of cluttered seats?” → in-car storage solution
  
  
• Copy Themes: Emphasized durability, safety, time-saving, and style with CTAs like “Gear Up Now” or “Upgrade Your Ride”
  
  
• Trust Elements: 5-star reviews, “Amazon’s choice” lookalikes, and free return messaging
  
  

5️⃣ Technical Setup & Tracking

Full tracking implementation to ensure precise optimization:

• Meta Pixel: Custom events including ViewContent, AddToCart, InitiateCheckout, Purchase
  
  
• Conversions API: Synced for redundancy and improved cross-device attribution
  
  
• Product Catalog: Used for DPA and hyper-personalized retargeting
  
  
• Landing Pages: Fast-loading, mobile-first design with bold product imagery and sticky CTAs
  
  

6️⃣ Optimization & Scaling

Daily data-driven decisions helped drive performance and reduce acquisition costs:

• Creative Testing: Split-tested video lengths, product types, problem-first vs. lifestyle-first intros
  
  
• Audience Expansion: Scaled LALs and broadened TOF with Interest stacking and Advantage+ campaigns
  
  
• BOF Strategy: Segmented by time window (1D, 3D, 7D, 14D) to match urgency and buyer intent
  
  
• Budget Scaling: Mixed vertical scaling (daily increases) with horizontal scaling (duplicated ad sets with variation)
  
  
• Performance Monitoring: Focused on ROAS, CTR, CPR, and AOV metrics for optimization
  
  

7️⃣ Offer Structure & Conversion Boosters

Strategic offers gave buyers extra push at the final stage:

• Bundle Offers: “Buy More, Save More” for multi-accessory combos
  
  
• Limited-Time Discounts: Flash sales and countdown urgency
  
  
• Free Shipping Threshold: “Get FREE Shipping on Orders Over $50”
  
  
• Trust-Boosters: “No tools required,” “Easy 5-min setup,” and money-back guarantees
  
  
• UGC-Driven Retargeting: Real buyers showcasing products in their cars
