Beauty performance at returns a cosmetics CFO stops to re-read.
Napoleon Perdis is a long-established Australian cosmetics brand. The programme ran full funnel across three channels, and each one was reported on its own return rather than blended into a single account figure.
Napoleon Perdis: paid social, paid search and email, reported line by line.
Paid social ran on Facebook at scale. Prospecting and retargeting across the cosmetics range, with creative rotated to the brand's launch cadence and built around shade-range stories. Facebook returned 14.6:1 on ad spend.
Paid search covered brand and category. The Google programme ran across brand, category and product terms, defending the brand's own demand and capturing intent from shoppers searching the category. It was managed to return rather than to volume, and returned 8:1.
Email ran against the brand's large owned list. Lifecycle flows and campaign email were timed to the same launch calendar as the paid channels. Email returned 50:1, the highest-returning channel in the mix.
Three channels, three returns: 14.6:1 on Facebook, 8:1 on Google Ads, 50:1 on email.
