About Green Cell

From laptop and e-bike batteries to power banks: when it comes to powering mobile devices, Green Cell products are the first choice. Founded in 2013 in Krakow, Poland, the company has also been conquering the German market since 2019.

With a wide range of high-quality batteries and chargers for mobile devices and electric bicycles, as well as in the field of e-mobility for cars, including relevant equipment, the Polish company Green Cell has also made a name for itself in Germany. To sell its products, Green Cell uses its own marketplace store on eBay.de, among other things. Since Q4 2020, the company has been partnering closely with eBay Ads to leverage eBay’s Promoted Listings products for increased visibility of their inventory. For the targeted sales promotion of new and seasonal products, Green Cell has been using the eBay Promoted Listings AdvancedBETA campaign type since the beginning of 2022.

Campaign strategy

With Promoted Listings Standard, Green Cell promotes entire product groups and thus ensures maximum coverage throughout the entire eBay network. The retailer uses Promoted Listings Standard as a kind of always-on marketing tool to place its offers on over 100 different placements on the eBay network; creating as many points of contact as possible with potential buyers.

The retailer enhances visibility even further – especially for new and seasonal products – with Promoted Listings AdvancedBETA. From batteries for boats and motorhomes, to rechargeable power cells for electric bicycles. In the summer months, for example, Green Cell focuses on products in particularly high demand due to seasonal factors – precisely when customers are looking for them. To this end, the company uses privileged access to top rankings on the search results page in order to achieve greater visibility and increase sales velocity for its offers. Through keyword targeting and carefully selected search terms, Green Cell uses Promoted Listings AdvancedBETA to ensure that its items are found even more effectively. The advertising budget is adjusted and controlled by the retailer on a daily basis in order to remain as flexible and competitive as possible.

In addition to always on advertising across the entire eBay network with Promoted Listings Standard, the merchant uses Promoted Listings AdvancedBETA to highlight new and seasonal products with additional promotion in the top slots of search.
