CASE

Netrauta Oy

Readpeak generated 10% more conversions than traffic coming to the site organically

Netrauta.fi is Finland's leading online store for DIY home renovation, with a selection of more than 300,000 products from over 1000 diverse brands to fulfill decoration, bathroom, sauna, kitchen, yard and free-time renovation dreams.

Strategically reaching the target audience

On a daily basis Netrauta seeks to implement marketing strategies that enable it to reach its target audience. Among its strategies is offering interesting content about renovation and construction to interested Finns between the ages of 24 and 65. A successful strategy example is native advertising done in collaboration with well-known public figures.
For example, one campaign was implemented during the springtime bathroom and sauna renovation season when Netrauta’s store and website were running special deals on those products. In order to raise interest during the campaign, Netrauta cooperated with well-known Finns, like radio and TV host Sami Kuronen, whose wide audience reaches men and women of all ages.

Netrauta has chosen a native advertising strategy that takes into account the seasonality of its offerings (e.g. peak outdoors renovation season) with the end goal of inspiring people to make their house renovation dreams come true at the right moment.

How Netrauta started with Readpeak

After carefully evaluating other industry players, Netrauta chose Readpeak for its ease, high transparency and wide, premium media selection. Also the added value and support received from Readpeak in campaign planning and in platform usage helped seal the deal.


Other Acquisition Channels Used

The same campaign materials were simultaneously run on different social media channels including Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. The same materials were also shared via newsletter to current Netrauta customers.
