Background
Herb Tantra is the new age brand that is working to revive herbal traditions that used to be part of our households. They have taken ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and backed it up by modern science to create effective natural health and personal care products that can fit easily into our fast paced lifestyle. In the modern age, we are getting heavily reliant on allopathic drugs, which in a long term can have adverse effect on our health. Herb tantra is trying to provide natural alternatives and remedies to a better health. Herb Tantra was heavily dependent on lookalike audience targeting to scale their business. Upon trying out Facebook’s lookalike audience the brand soon realized that it wasn’t viable for them to continue that path. The lookalike audience was not only limited to their small customer base but also based on a signal of interest. With nowhere being close enough of their desired results Herb Tantra reached out to Xpert to improve their lookalike targeting.

The data-points leveraged to build this audience, was limited by the size of their existing customer base. In order to create a larger lookalike customer base, Xpert understood the problem solving aspects of the product and found serious buyers who have made similar and complementary purchases such as feminine sanitary supplies, ayurvedic products, natural pain killers etc. To ascertain customer intent, people interested in products which are improving health and well being, plant based, promoting sleep, reducing wrinkles; helping with relaxation, stress management were considered. Customer type was identified to be elderly people, parents and working professionals of tier -1, 2, 3 cities.
