🧠 What We Solved
The brand faced inconsistent results when promoting in overseas cities—what sold well in Singapore flopped in Sydney. Manual pricing guesses and generic campaigns led to poor conversion rates, wasted ad spend, and confused buyers.
Our team deployed AI-powered pricing intelligence + hyper-local social media campaigns to fix that.
🔍 1. AI-Driven Pricing Analysis: The Local Sweet Spot
We scraped public data from 30+ platforms (marketplaces, competitor stores, classifieds, and reviews) in each target city. Then, we used machine learning to analyze:
- Local competitors’ pricing bands
- Feature-perceived value across cultures
- Historical buyer behavior in similar climate and lifestyle zones
- Customer sentiment around price fairness
📊 Results
- Identified price band for Sydney $330–$400 vs. Singapore $230–$280
- Adjusted pricing led to 21% increase in checkout conversion rate
- Avoided over-discounting by recognizing Sydney buyers prioritized warranty and quality over lowest price
📲 2. Instagram & Facebook Campaigns That Fit the Market
Once pricing was optimized, we launched AI-personalized campaigns using visuals, language, and tone tailored to each city’s lifestyle:
- Instagram: Story-heavy lifestyle shots for Singapore’s humid balcony culture
- Facebook: Feature-led posts for Sydney’s outdoor entertaining trend
- Automated A/B testing of visual sets, CTAs, and ad copy across platforms
📊 Results
- 38% higher click-through rate vs. previous generic ads
- 2.6x more comments when using local lifestyle imagery
- Reduced Facebook CPC by 41% in Sydney after creative and timing optimization
💬 3. Smart Follow-Up via WhatsApp & Messenger
Leads from ads were automatically synced to our CRM, which triggered AI-mapped reply flows:
- Customised WhatsApp replies in English + Simplified Chinese in Rednote
- Product feature FAQs auto-answered based on buyer behaviour
- Tracked which leads clicked size/colour options to score intent
📊 Results
- 92% message open rate
- 37% reply rate within 3 hours
- Saved 18+ hours/week in manual customer follow-up
📁 Bonus: Living Database for Future Launches
Every click, conversation, price experiment, and engagement result was logged into a living dashboard. The client can now:
