YRC Freight's ROI Soars with Optimized Relaunch of Accelerated Service Campaign

The Solution

The campaign strategy was designed to “relaunch” the service line portfolio targeting new and potential customers while encouraging service reconsideration from individuals previously deterred by price point. The campaign execution included website optimization, content and navigation updates, multi-channel ad placement, retargeting and custom remarketing audiences. Paid search elements included AdWords Search & Display/Remarketing, LinkedIn, Salespider (B2B Display Network.) Finally, we engaged in a robust email strategy that included segmented email announcements to customers most likely to convert on the new service offering.
