Bricks, mortar, and Meta

With over 100 years of history, HMV has been a staple of the high street, specialising in music, movies, technology, and pop culture merchandise, known for being a community hub for all fans and fandoms. Beyond its iconic brick-and-mortar stores, HMV was looking to boost online sales through Meta’s advertising on Facebook and Instagram.

Fast reactions to new releases

The campaigns were purpose-built to respond to the latest releases, showcasing new and exclusive products to an expanded online audience, generating both pre-orders and sales. Evergreen campaigns were also integrated into the strategy to boost traffic and revenue. These business-as-usual (BAU) campaigns promoted offers like ‘3 for £55 on vinyl’ or ‘2 for £30 on 4K Ultra HD’ and ran continuously alongside the release-specific campaigns.

The results

Spend increased by +20%
Revenue increased by +146%
Traffic increased by a whopping +1,112%
CTR increased by +16%
ROAS also increased by +105%
