The Brief

2dehands.be is a free classified ads website for second hand items. To increase the visits on its used cars category, they asked us to communicate that they have the most cars available : 93.460 But how to do that ? Simply, by showing all of them…in 1 single ad ! And allowing everyone to zoom in to see the cars. In real time and in detail. And contact the sellers instantly.

Campaign Success

2dehands.be, as a classifieds client, mainly connects people with people. Or more specific, buyers with sellers. The aim was to translate what they do on their homepage into a standard print ad.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

After the campaign, we recorded a 9,37% increase of website visits compared to other weeks. Which, translated into concrete figures, means an increase of 495.130 visits a week.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

We used an interactive ad to connect potential buyers to potential sellers. Turning a print ad into a real time activation tool.
