Challenge

Workout for Women is a leading mobile application designed to help women achieve their fitness goals through structured workout programs. It offers a variety of exercises, progress tracking, and personalized plans tailored to different fitness levels.‍

The challenges were:

  1. Reduce the Cost per Purchase (CPP);
  2. Scale traffic effectively increasing the volume of purchases via Web funnel;
  3. Acquire new paying users, mostly in Tier 1 markets;
  4. Produce well-performing creatives.

Solution

To achieve these goals, Applica designed a strategy:

  • Focus exclusively on Meta Ads due to client’s existing setup and most relevant traffic and audience

  • Launch with broad targeting and analyse CPA

  • Review campaigns to identify top-performing GEOs (US, Canada, Australia)

  • Reduce CPA by combining top GEOs and gradual scaling

  • Leverage Meta’s flexibility for ad hypothesis testing.

User Acquisition:‍

Between July and October 2024, Applica managed paid acquisition campaigns on Meta, targeting Tier 1 countries through web-based funnels. The campaigns primarily focused on women aged 21 to 55, aligning with the client’s core audience.
