Hey everyone,
Getting this campaign finally launched, will do it from beginning to end and make everything i do 100% transparent and updated here the whole way through.
This offer is with Neverblue, its for Groupon (daily deals), for Singapore only and i'll be running it on Facebook.
- I'll be trying 2 angles
- Angle 1 will be with massages
- I'll be targeting males/females (split tested)
- Ages 23 - 50
- Gives me a target # of 1,637,880 people
- I will not be using any keywords
- The ads will be in english (most of the Singapore population can read and speak english)
Some more background info
Groupon and neverblue pretty much teamed up, and Never blue has all their offers direct. They're decently anal about everything so there's quite a few restrictions and landing pages are a MUST, and groupon themselves have to approve your landing page. It's quite the annoying process, but for a cool offer like Groupon, that can be applied to so many angles, has good branding, advertiser reputation anddd is available in so many international countries (that don't usually have good affiliate offers) then it's worth the process. I've never ran any traffic (or atleast anything big) in asia before, so I'm pretty excited.
Where everything is at right now?
- My landing pages have been submitted for approval
- I'm finishing up gathering images
I'll be submitting my ads tomorrow and hopefully everything is up and running by Monday evening. I'll keep updates here
Cool, looking forward to updates!
Maybe I'll see some of your ads when I log in to FB lol.
If you'd like to have the images for your own use, just leave a msg here and I'll upload a zip.

Great follow along campaign!! Would you mind sharing your Landingpage..I've hired my designer to design some groupon lps for me and it would be great to get some new ideas from your lps ;-)
Awesome, looking forward to follow this one!
Would love to see the LP.
Yep, I'll be showing all the landing pages. Just let me get them approved (just waiting right now), then I'll post them.
From there I'll prob make a few more and split test them in depending on how this angles performs, otherwise on to angle #2.
I'm curious about the results!
Can we get this campaign going outside facebook to? since some of us are banned? 
some awesome images jordan!
@tijn thanks, went about 50 pages into google lol, and 25 into deviant art, it better pay off!
@jroes do you know any other traffic sources that offer quality singapore traffic in high quanitity using a self serve ad platform?
Awesome! I'm really looking forward to this one.
I'd love to be able to download the images.
I would also appreciate it if you can share the images, great work there!
No I do not stack, but I am just saying since some of us are banned on facebook. So just wondering if there would be an alternative.
I do not know how many are banned on facebook, so I guess I can only speak for myself.

All my landing pages were not approved:
- They don't allow groupon logo's or a similar look to the groupon page at all, so i'll be trying 2 completely new landing pages, making them now
@jroes57: Are you using the same domain for your destination URLs that you were using on your banned account?
@jroes57: as a last resort - get a windows vps (remote server/pc) and create a new account with that - new name, new credit card etc. Nothing that links you to your previous account. Its possible they have either flagged your IP or placed a cookie that enabled them to identify when you have created a new account.
I got a simple landing page approved fairly quickly using the Groupon colours straight off their page, no name branding but the colours have the same look and feel - green background and a blue bar across. Will be building a campaign today using a variation of this info here
@jroes like tijn said if you really want an account and you've been banned with previous method you have to put in the effort by creating every 100% brand new using a VPN and google chrome in private mode, and absolutely don't use the same domains you've used in other accounts.
@Gamekeeper Nice! I just submitted 2 new ones, i don't know why my 3rd didn't get approved because it had no logos. Maybe just because it was submitted at the same time with the logo ones.
Any chance to see them Jordan?
Yep, i was going to wait until approval but here:
These are a bit edited from the originals. I made the originals a bit more bland so they could get approved.


Still waiting on approval btw, but it hasn't been 24 hours yet.
Stack, just saw you are using C$, you might want to go with S$ since you are targetting Singapore. I dont know if make any different, I just know that is the way we write it here.
Those LP's look solid. I would like to see shot the html/php file looks like with the timer etc.
Also, what kind of domain do you have? something that is related too deals/cheap stuff ?
@Krprimdal Thanks! didn't catch that all!
@Marco timer doesn't work, just a graphic and generic domain, not related to deals
Landing pages approved, and i just uploaded the ads!
I'm also starting angle 2 in the meantime.
When entering any new niche you have no idea what to expect. Well that's what happened here, complete mashup of confusion. I'll be immediately jumping to angle #2.
Quick info on angle #1 stats:
Landing page 1:
104 clicks
21.6% Landing page CTR
2 conversions
-$36 profit
Landing page 2:
132 clicks
27.9% Landing page CTR
3 conversions
-$41 profit
My initial thoughts/notes:
- Massages aren't enough incentive to get people to fill out leads
- The high landing page CTR from nice looking landing pages with mediocre conversion tactics shows that people in singapore have seen a lot less landing pages then the majority of US/UK/CA/AU etc…
- Ad CTR at the highest was 0.39%
Angle #2 = Sushi deals!

One question Jordan. If you promote that can you deeplink to some sushi related pages of your offer? Is the sushi thing just the angle on facebook to catch their attention and let them click through your lander in the hope they sign up?
I tried the massage angle with a USA daily deals offer, low ctrs. Going to try more angles
@punkcash
Yep no shadow in the images. You could try it, but i don't think it'll make much of a difference.
International daily deals are bomb..
LOL but what's with the pictures of people with weird squid/snake looking things on them? o.O
@optimex
That's called a 'snake' massage, and it's very real. Weird 
awesome,looking forward to update
You can't do Groupon on FB anymore right? do any of the groupon clones work well on FB or they not allowed either by FB-nazis?
I think it was mentioned earlier that the ban was lifted
As far as I am aware you can run Groupon on FB again while using approved landing pages. Check with your AMs at Azoogle and Adsimilus (I don't have any relationship with Neverblue and got the run around there) However, I am looking for LatAm Groupon- does anyone know where I can find these?
good keep going on
^^ Lol, I thought this was a recent thread cuz ya bumped it! Almost 2 years old...
