About The Self Defense Company
The Self Defense Company is a firm operating within the specialized education and personal security sector. They offer comprehensive at home self defense training programs that are specifically designed to teach individuals practical, real world techniques for personal protection and safety. Their unique, highly accessible training system is expertly designed and easily adaptable for people of all ages, sizes, and baseline fitness levels.
Challenge
The previous Facebook advertising campaign run by The Self Defense Company was performing adequately, but it was completely unable to scale successfully without the cost per acquisition skyrocketing. In addition to these scaling issues, their e-commerce conversions were simply not being tracked properly on the backend, making it difficult to accurately tell exactly what specific ad campaigns worked and which ones were wasting money. Working closely with their internal marketing team, SmartSites set clear, data driven performance benchmarks and launched a highly focused, meticulously tracked digital advertising initiative.
