El Al - Creating a Success Story
Achieving Conversions using Dynamic Remarketing Ads
Displaying ads to a prospective audience (remarketing) on Facebook under a conversion campaign of the Israeli airline achieved 5 times the flight search, when compared to previous campaigns.
The part in which Facebook was involved was published as a case study in the Facebook for Business website.
Business Story
El Al was established in 1948 as the Israeli national airline. Today, it serves more than 50 destinations in Israel and around the world.
The Objective:
Presenting attractive prices for destinations, according to the user’s interest
El Al wanted to promote special prices and new flight routes, and at the same time, increase the amount of flight searches in its website.
The Solution:
Personalizing your travel
El Al requested Fialkov Digital to design a campaign to increase the flight search amount.
↓
Fialkov Digital used a “website conversion” campaign, combined with flight remarking ads on Facebook (previously known as dynamic travel ads), and this way, El Al could present ads in a high relevance level, capable of motivating people to action.
↓
Using a personalized audience, based on the people browsing flights in the last 21 days but did not complete the order yet, the campaign presented ads that included the exact routes the individual watching the ad searched for in the past.
↓
The ads were presented on Facebook and Instagram and linked to the live auction website, bid2fly. This way, people who were interested in specific routes were able to submit a bid and get even more attractive prices for their flights.
↓
Since dynamic remarking ads use the airline product catalogue and a Facebook pixel to automatically create ads that match people and the products most relevant to them El Al could engage in significant interaction with a large number of people – while maintaining low costs.
