BOL.COM REPLACES 3RD-PARTY COOKIES WITH 1ST-PARTY DATA TO INCREASE CTR BY 33%

Bol.com is the single largest e-commerce platform in Western Europe. The company
sells products from over 52,000 different sales partners to over 13 million
active customers across the Netherlands and Belgium. There are more than 100
million products available on Bol.com, and the platform operates as a
marketplace where third-party sellers can list and sell their products alongside
the company’s own inventory.


THE RESULTS

 * Increased audience reach by 109%
 * Improved click-through rates for all brand ads by 33%
 * Rebuilt new and existing audiences in just six weeks
 * Millions of viewable impressions delivered monthly


THE CHALLENGE

Bol.com operates an extremely mature paid media business, selling ad inventory
to thousands of companies. This includes everything from brand advertising,
sponsored products, performance marketing, and even off-platform advertising
outside of Bol.com.

Success for Bol.com is directly linked to our ability to create relevance for
our advertisers, partners, and customers–and that means serving hyper-specific
ads to granular audience cohorts.

Bol.com

The company collects petabytes of rich behavioral and transactional user-level
data, but even with all of this information, the marketing team was building
audiences using a limited data set from third-party cookies and pixels. With
Google preparing to fully depecrate third-party cookies in 2024, Bol needed to
act quickly to de-risk advertising revenue and enable the marketing team to
activate the company’s existing first-party data.

This left Bol.com scrambling to find a new solution that could provide immediate
value and one that wasn’t based on third-party data. Bol.com turned to Hightouch
to rebuild advertising audiences directly from their first-party data, creating
a Composable CDP.


THE SOLUTION


ACTIVATING FIRST-PARTY DATA WITH HIGHTOUCH

Bol.com has a mature data stack that houses data for over 100 million different
products, hundreds of first-party attributes, and hundreds of web and mobile
events. This data underpins many different data models, which are used to power
an assortment of use cases, including keeping the product catalog up-to-date,
building custom data science models to predict purchase behavior, or simply
managing historical and transactional data. All of this information lives in a
serverless data warehouse that acts as the company’s single source of truth.

Before Hightouch, the marketing team relied on a legacy data management platform
(DMP) to power all of their advertising audiences. These audiences were very
limited because the marketing team had no access to any of the data living in
Bol.com’s data warehouse and could only personalize using basic data like page
views and sessions. To make matters worse, this data was only stored for a
limited number of days.

With the rapid end of 3rd-party cookies, we had to act quickly. Within 4-6 weeks
under a POC, we were able to completely replace all of our existing audiences
with first-party data using Hightouch.

Bol.com

Since implementing Hightouch Customer Studio, the marketing team has fully
decommissioned all of the pixels powering their on-site and in-app advertising
campaigns and replaced them with Hightouch audiences powered by first-party
data. This shift to first-party data has led to a 109% increase in total
audience reach, which has driven a 33% increase in click-through rates for all
brand advertisements.

With Hightouch, the marketing team can take advantage of all the data living in
Bol.com’s data warehouse to deliver relevancy for both the customer and the
advertiser. This ensures the marketing team can personalize product placement
advertising and expose the right products to the right customers.


CREATING A COMPOSABLE CDP

Bol.com evaluated CDPs to try to create first-party advertising audiences, but
the company quickly realized that no bundled platform could facilitate both the
data and marketing needs of the organization. Instead, the marketing team turned
to Hightouch to power the company’s most complex advertising use cases.

We have petabytes of data here at Bol.com. Moving this data out of our data
warehouse and pushing it to a traditional CDP would have been completely
illogical. Hightouch lets us build really complex audiences in minutes, giving
us everything we need to run A/B testing, measure performance, and optimize them
so we can drive value immediately.

Bol.com

With Hightouch operating as an activation and audience manager layer on top of
Bol.com’s infrastructure, the marketing team can self-serve and build custom
audiences. Likewise, because Hightouch doesn’t actually store any data, the IT
team doesn’t have to worry about compliance issues, and they can control exactly
what data is exposed to Hightouch–all while ensuring the marketing team has
access to the necessary and relevant information to power their campaigns.

The true value of the Composable CDP architecture is that we no longer have to
rely on a black box. We have access to all of the rich insights living in our
warehouse, and this is key in optimizing our advertising campaigns.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Bol.com is continuing to emphasize first-party data to power advertising for all
on-site and in-app experiences. The company is in the process of building out
thousands more custom audiences for all of their off-site advertising use cases
as well.

Hightouch has completely unlocked how we deliver relevancy to users across our
website and our mobile app, but there’s also huge potential for us to monetize
users outside of our domain.
