The beauty company wanted to raise awareness of its new fragrance during Mother’s Day and persuade new and existing customers to try a sample and ultimately buy the product.
Lancôme and its agency, SEM, planned an integrated campaign for Mother's Day to launch La Nuit Trésor to reach the target audience and encourage them to make a purchase after sampling the product. The brand ran a series of video ads that featured the new fragrance and celebrity Penelope Cruz. In addition to running ads offline and on Facebook, the beauty brand also added ads in Instagram Stories. The ads in Instagram Stories were used to acquire leads: when viewers saw the ad, they could Swipe Up to request a sample of the fragrance.
To reach a wide audience, Lancôme targeted the ads to women 18 and older and also created a lookalike audience to ensure it was reaching women who would be most interested in the product.
By adding ads in Instagram Stories to its marketing mix, Lancôme saw strong results. It lowered its cost per lead by 66% and increased leads by 4X.
