THE SOLUTION

Driving conversions with Reels

Webull has always been open to exploring new ways to improve campaign performance and drive in-app actions. The company had been running its usual video ad campaigns when, keen to boost their performance, it decided to try adding Instagram Reels ads to its strategy.

To test this new approach, Webull conducted an A/B test that compared its usual video ads campaign in one cell to a combination of the video ads and Instagram Reels ads in a second cell. The campaign targeted ads to people with an interest in investments. Webull also created international lookalike audiences based on people who already used the app.

The test revealed that the cell with Instagram Reels ads drove considerably better results and conversion. The test ran from June 2–15, 2022, with the following results:

  • 50% more app installs and complete registrations from cell with Reels ads, compared to cell without
  • 17% lower cost per conversion lift for app installs from cell with Reels ads, compared to cell without
  • 40% lower cost per conversion lift for addition of payment information from cell with Reels ads, compared to cell without
