The Herefordshire-based seller has an impressive 99.8% positive eBay feedback score. A top-rated business seller, Andee Cables has successfully used multiple eBay marketing tools in order to drive sales via their eBay Shop.

Computer cables and connectors is a very competitive category on eBay, with sellers offering low prices and fast and free shipping to attract customers. Andee Cables has enjoyed great success running Promoted Listings Standard campaigns across 98% of its 1,000+ listings, ensuring prominent positioning across eBay.

To continue to enhance its product offering and address seller demand for additional control levers, eBay developed Promoted Listings Advanced^BETA. This campaign type is designed to build on the visibility boost that Promoted Listings Standard offers, adding higher visibility with all the control a seller needs. Keen to explore further opportunities to drive sales across the eBay marketplace, Andee Cables became one of the early testers for the Promoted Listings Advanced^BETA programme.

Campaign objectives

Andee Cables was excited to see whether the enhanced visibility and control features of Promoted Listings Advanced^BETA would help them grow their sales whilst maintaining a competitive return on ad spend.

Campaign strategy

From 17 June 2021, Andee Cables added Promoted Listings Advanced^BETA to their campaign portfolio to increase the likelihood of appearing in the top of search slot. They ran Promoted Listings Standard and Promoted Listings Advanced^BETA concurrently to increase visibility and sales of their items.

Using Promoted Listings Advanced^BETA campaigns, they created two ad groups, with five similar listings in each ad group. To optimise the performance of the campaign, 185 carefully selected keywords were associated with each of the two ad groups (an average of 37 keywords per item). This represented 81% of the top keywords used by buyers.

Campaign results

Following the addition of the Promoted Listings Advanced^BETA campaign on 17 June, total impressions for the seller’s account increased by 70% which resulted in total clicks increasing by 212% and sales velocity trebling, with an increase of 203%.

Overall, Promoted Listing Advanced^BETA drove conversion for the seller which in turn increased the propensity for the seller’s listings to appear in organic traffic.
