Cutting cost per messaging conversation by 85%
The challenge
A campaign for an independent car salesperson, run on a small self-funded budget, was paying over ₹105 for every messaging conversation. At that rate the budget bought almost nothing.
The diagnosis
Delivery and bidding weren't the problem. The creative gave people no reason to message today, and the audience was wider than the actual buyer.
The change
New creative built around a genuine price-hike urgency angle, paired with tighter audience targeting. No bidding tricks. Then structured tests across creative and audience combinations until one pair held its performance.
The result
Cost per messaging conversation fell from ₹105.95 to ₹15.47, an 85% reduction, and stayed there rather than fading after a few days. 85 conversations on ₹2,592.32 of total spend, which produced 10 showroom visits and one confirmed vehicle booking.
