Case Study
Summary
If something wasn’t done quickly, Trading Post was as good as gone. In the year before the launch of the “Good As Gone Guarantee” Trading Post had lost 43% of its revenue and was experiencing a 35% year on year decline of private car inventory. In the 7 months post campaign launch, Trading Post increased private car ads placed in Victoria 158%, boosted revenue 109% and proved 6-times more efficient (with 30% less spend) than the previous campaign. ‘The Good As Gone Guarantee’ became Trading Post’s most effective campaign since leaving print behind. Most importantly, we saved an Australian icon.
