It’s no secret that Product Listing Ads (PLAs) are growing significantly. With a 57% growth in spend in the 2016 holiday season vs. last year, PLAs continued to grow 22% year over year in Q1 2017. But, what might be a surprise is that a significant amount of that growth was from Bing. Bing Shopping Campaigns have been adopted by 28% of retail customers since Skai launched support in Q1 2016. And spend has increased 20X year over year!
Drive Incremental Growth
Bing Shopping Campaigns can drive incremental growth for advertisers. They are a great way to reach a wider audience with attention grabbing, mobile friendly ads. For instance, over the 2016 holiday season, Very.co.uk used a combination of audience segmentation along with Skai’s portfolio optimization and budget forecasting across keywords and shopping campaigns. They drove a 104% lift in shopping revenue and a 32% increase in shopping ROI across Google and Bing. And they achieved an overall increase of 82% in revenue and 62% in ROI across search as a whole.
