Noble House used Amazon DSP to activate audiences across the funnel

Noble House Home Furnishings’ vision is to be the dominant force in the furniture market. The company has over 10,000 SKUs in stock at all times, so you can order goods for “just in time” delivery to meet all your customers’ demands. With more than 20 years in the industry, Noble House helps customers benefit from a wide variety of products manufactured in locations including China, India, Vietnam, Malaysia and the US.

In 2019, Noble House Home Furnishing, an indoor and outdoor home furniture and home goods company, partnered with Tinuiti to transition from managed-service Amazon DSP to self-service Amazon DSP and more effectively segment audiences to reach new customers for its Christopher Knight Home brand during key seasonal buying periods.

Tinuiti and Noble House created an advanced Amazon DSP strategy to drive upper- and lower-funnel campaigns and implement new catalogue segmentation.

First, Tinuiti worked with Amazon and Noble House Home Furnishings to build out a strategic Amazon DSP media plan to reach lower- and upper-funnel audiences based on seasonality.

For example, during the summer season, they ran specific segments tailored to outdoor patio furniture and bedroom furniture with large audiences, and then followed up with shoppers who didn’t purchase with remarketing campaigns through Amazon DSP. This allowed them to capitalize on awareness and drive demand simultaneously.

In addition, new catalogue segmentation helped Noble House scale its approach. Noble House Home Furnishings came to Tinuiti with about 50 focus ASINs to build an Amazon DSP strategy for. Tinuiti decided to group ASINs based on nine new categories (including dining chairs, stools and outdoor lounge chairs). In order to use remarketing audiences in Amazon DSP, the audience size needs to meet a minimum threshold. By structuring the ASINs into specific categories, they were able to meet those thresholds and successfully remarket (in-market and by product type).

Running upper- and lower-funnel campaigns with Amazon DSP worked especially well for Noble House’s product line. The furniture shopping journey on Amazon is a relatively long process. From the initial search to the final purchase, a typical shopper takes over three weeks. During that time, they view 14–15 product detail pages and consider 7–8 products on average. ¹

Running upper-funnel (in-market) campaigns with Amazon DSP helped Noble House drive consideration and grow a larger pool of lower-funnel audiences to remarket to. The shopping experience isn’t always linear – and in this case, Amazon DSP provided Noble House the opportunity to not only reach new audiences and bring them into the marketing funnel, but also reengage with shoppers who demonstrated interest in the catalogue and stay top of mind throughout the path to purchase.

Running upper- and lower-funnel campaigns (via Amazon DSP) worked especially well for NHHF’s product line. When it comes to furniture, shoppers will typically take their time when making a purchase. Amazon DSP upper-funnel campaigns (in-market) helped to fuel our lower-funnel pool (re-targeting). Because the shopping experience is not always linear, Amazon DSP provided us the opportunity to not only reach new audiences and bring them into our funnel, but also re-target shoppers once they had shown interest in our catalogue.

• From an awareness perspective, they saw a 2X increase in total detail page views year over year.
• From a consideration perspective, they saw a 48% increase in CTR (click-through rate). Increased CTR is a positive sign of growing consideration because it means that more shoppers are interested in learning more about the product.
• From a conversion standpoint, they saw a 28% increase in new-to-brand purchases.
• And finally, they also saw a 4X increase in ROAS (return on advertising spend).

Evan at Tinuiti understood our goal to both drive traffic at all levels of the sales funnel and spend responsibly with an overall return on ad spend in mind. By building audiences across the consumer journey with Amazon DSP, we have achieved incredible results.
