Same offer. Same audience. Only the creative changed.
She had a really good base and a steady business. She wanted to scale and reach new people, and the plan was to get there through paid ads and an organic strategy.
How did I know it was the creative?
The first thing I look at is the data, because it shows you where people are actually dropping off instead of guessing. The click through rate was low, but people were still engaging. So the interest was there. They were reading the caption, they felt the offer, but they weren't clicking, and they weren't staying in the video long enough to get to the call to action. That told me the offer wasn't the problem and the audience wasn't the problem. It was the creative.
And I don't change more than one thing at a time. If you change everything at once and it works, you still don't know what actually worked, so you can't do it again. That's why I started with the creative and left everything else where it was.
What did I change?
The video was one minute of her talking straight to camera, no visuals. She was describing real things, community, belonging, the feeling of being part of something bigger, but she was only saying them out loud. So I went back through old footage from her past retreats and programs and cut it in to match what she was saying. When she talked about community, you saw the whole group together. When she described the experience, you saw it happening.
It did two things. It made you feel what she was describing instead of just hearing it. And it showed scale. This wasn't five people in a room, it was a real, full program, and that gave her credibility that a person talking to camera couldn't.
What happened?
$3K in ad spend turned into $35K in revenue in one week. The offer didn't change. The audience didn't change. Only the creative did.
Why did it work?
People don't buy from what you tell them. They buy from what you make them feel. Her words were telling people the offer was good. The footage made them feel it, and it carried the proof they needed to trust her.
People don't buy from what you tell them. They buy from what you make them feel.
