When COVID hit, weddings were canceled and travel, bridal, and honeymoon marketers pulled their advertising and left Wedding sites scrambling to find ways to protect their revenue. The direct deals that commanded much of the inventory were canceled and CPMs were dropping due to lack of demand. Adapex worked with several of our Wedding sites to find solutions to generate revenue.
The Adapex team worked closely with our Wedding sites to optimize their page layouts and ad sizes, including adding mobile units. We also tested some rich media formats which command higher CPMs and deliver higher conversion rates. Smart refresh was enabled to increase volumes and lazy loading was employed to improve fill and viewability.
Despite that the bridal market was one of the hardest hit due to COVID, Adapex was able to help our Wedding sites improve their revenue. Using the tactics described above, these sites increased Revenue per Session (RPM) by as much as 130%, resulting in double-digit revenue growth across the board between May 2020 and May 2021. The Wedding sites in the Adapex network were able to weather the decrease in CPMs (due to lack of direct deals) and experience revenue gains. All of our sites saw uplifts.
