Case Study
From Showroom to Shopping Cart: How The Yorkshire Tile Co Transitioned to a Full E-Com Strategy with Google and Meta Ads
The Challenge
The Yorkshire Tile Co, a longstanding partner with our agency, has been leveraging our expertise since the inception of our business. With nearly three years of year-over-year (YoY) data at our disposal, we’ve been able to craft and fine-tune strategies tailored to their unique business needs.
Historically, their digital strategy was a blend of lead generation, driving foot traffic to physical stores, and online sales. However, in April 2024, the decision was made to pivot entirely to an e-commerce-focused strategy to capitalise on the growing online marketplace.
This shift required a significant overhaul of their existing digital marketing approach, emphasising the importance of a cross-channel strategy that could seamlessly drive online sales and maximise ROI.
The Solution
To effectively roll out this new e-com strategy, we implemented a robust cross-channel approach, combining the strengths of Google Ads and Meta Ads. This strategy aimed to reach potential customers at multiple touchpoints, guiding them through the customer journey from awareness to purchase. Our approach involved:
Meta Ads Strategy:
Creative Testing and Optimisation:
Given the pivot to e-commerce, we tested and refined the creative assets to better resonate with online shoppers, ensuring that the visuals and messaging aligned with e-commerce goals.
Provided continuous feedback to improve the effectiveness of ad creatives, focusing on high-converting formats and offers.
Targeted Campaigns for Online Sales:
Shifted the focus of campaigns to directly drive online purchases, targeting audiences most likely to buy tiles and related products.
Emphasised retargeting strategies to bring back potential customers who showed interest but hadn’t completed their purchases.
Google Ads Strategy:
Performance Max and Shopping Campaigns:
Implemented Performance Max and Google Shopping campaigns to capture high-intent search traffic and showcase products to users actively searching for tiles and home improvement materials.
Focused on optimising product listings to increase visibility and click-through rates, ensuring that the ads were competitive in the market.
Data-Driven Adjustments:
Leveraged the extensive YoY data to inform bidding strategies, audience segmentation, and keyword choices, ensuring that the campaigns were optimised for the best possible results.
Regularly adjusted bids and budgets based on real-time performance data to maximise ROI during peak buying periods.

The shift to an e-commerce-focused strategy, supported by a well-coordinated Google and Meta Ads approach, yielded impressive results for The Yorkshire Tile Co:
