How we grew Skin Food reviews by 4,000% for Weleda

The challenge

Ahead of the launch of a brand new TV ad for their signature product, Skin Food, Weleda wanted to collect reviews to display on their D2C website. With the TV advertising due to go live nationally later in the year, it was important to have a greater amount of recent reviews to drive conversion once the activity was live. At the time, Weleda only had 16 reviews on their website for the product, only two of which had been left in the last 6 months. Additionally, with brand awareness in the UK market being seen as low, it was important for Weleda to drive trial amongst the product’s target audience.

The solution

To help grow brand awareness in the UK, Facebook and Instagram (Meta) ads were used to target a broad skincare audience. Using Meta’s native lead generation forms, consumers were asked for the information needed to send them a sample, and Sampl collected the data using a custom API integration. The data flowed seamlessly into Sampl to be cleansed, validated and processed ready for sample dispatch, without the need for any tech resource. Once consumers had received their Sampl and had time to use it they were invited to leave a review via Sampl, which could be seamlessly integrated with Weleda’s reviews platform.

The Meta ads reached over 60,000 people, helping to grow brand awareness ahead of the launch of the TV advertising. Of those that received a sample, 24% said that they had purchased the product since receiving it and a further 61% indicating that they definitely or probably would
