Increase Your Conversions with Personalization Based on Paid Campaigns

How to Create a Personalized Landing Page for Display and Social Ads

When visitors land on a webpage via paid advertisements, they often encounter a jarring disconnect.

The messaging on the landing page frequently deviates from the ad copy that brought them there. This mismatch creates a disjointed user experience, potentially deterring the visitor from exploring further or making a purchase.

Our customers' experiences have reinforced this theory time and again. When an ad's content aligns perfectly with the content of the landing page it leads to, the conversion rate invariably increases. This is the power of message matching – it bridges the gap between advertisement and landing page, creating a seamless and satisfying user experience.

Message matching doesn't require you to increase your ad spend. Rather, it focuses on optimizing the existing resources to deliver a more impactful, personalized user experience. By aligning the messaging on your ads and landing pages, you can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your paid campaigns, driving higher conversions on your website.

Before jumping to the details, here's a short video showcasing personalization based on paid campaigns with Ninetailed:

This playbook is a comprehensive guide to leveraging personalization for message matching in your paid campaigns. It will provide insights, strategies, and best practices to help you harmonize your ad content with your landing pages, thereby boosting your conversion rates without inflating your advertising budget.

Let's take a look at a real-life example that illustrates the power of personalization in paid campaigns.

Ruggable, an innovative interior brand known for its patented 2-piece rugs, took personalization to a new level by creating two distinct experiences on its website.

Ruggable recognized that their customer base comprised two primary segments — dog owners and cat owners. They decided to capitalize on this insight by launching two separate paid campaigns targeting each group. However, they didn't stop at just targeted ad content. They extended this personalization strategy right through to their website.

  1. Dog-Related Campaigns: Visitors who landed on Ruggable's website via dog-related paid campaigns were greeted with dog-centric content. This could include images of dogs enjoying Ruggable's rugs, testimonials from dog-owning customers, or even a special collection of rugs ideal for households with dogs. This tailored experience resonated strongly with dog owners, making them feel understood and catered to.

  2. Cat-Related Campaigns: Similarly, visitors arriving from cat-related paid campaigns were met with a plethora of cat-related content. This might encompass pictures of cats lounging on Ruggable's rugs, reviews from cat-parent customers, or a curated selection of rugs perfect for feline-friendly homes. This personalized experience appealed to cat owners, reinforcing the brand's understanding of their unique needs.

By matching the ad message to the landing page experience, Ruggable created a seamless journey for their customers.

The result?

  • increase in conversion rate by 25%

  • click-through rate jump by 7 times

  • decrease in personalization creation time from 2 days to 30 minutes

This example demonstrates the profound impact of personalization, particularly when it's consistently applied across the customer journey, from paid ads to landing pages.

Step 0: Setting Up the Stage

In order to make everything easier to understand, let’s imagine, the ad for this personalized experience is the following ad.

From now on, we’ll be using this ad to define our audience and create the personalized experience.

Step 1: Defining the Audience and Creating Personalized Content

The first step of this process involves creating an audience for your specific campaign. In this case, for personalization based on paid campaigns, we’ll be using UTM parameters to define our audience segment. Here, you can be more granular by creating the audience segment by using all the parameters:

  • campaign name

  • campaign source

  • campaign medium

  • campaign term

  • campaign content

However, we’ll be using only the campaign name in this case:

Once you have your audience defined, the next step is to create personalized content that resonates with this group. This involves tailoring your message to reflect the preferences, needs, and aspirations of your audience segment.

Step 2: Testing the Personalized Experience with Ninetailed’s Preview Widget

Since personalized experiences are for specific audiences and based on specific conditions, previewing a personalized experience can be a challenge. This is where Ninetailed’s Preview Widget comes into play.

With Ninetailed’s Preview Widget, you can preview all of your experiences. All you need to do is:
