Papierniczeni aims to position its company as synonymous with top-notch quality, niche products, and artisanal craftsmanship within the paper goods industry, including notebooks, calendars, and calligraphy tools. To help our Client achieve this business goal, we focused on running text ads and branded campaigns. During peak sales seasons, we also made use of display campaigns.
By building brand recognition among their target audience, Papierniczeni also wanted to increase sales. They placed a particular focus on calendars, which is a highly demanded product from October to December, gradually tapering off from January to March. In addition to calendars, Papierniczeni offers a year-round selection of products, including notebooks, planners, notepads, and various paper goods from global brands and their own crafted items.
We had a clear strategy in place for Papierniczeni advertising campaigns. Our main goal was to help the Client sell more of their products. To achieve that, we had to make our regular SEM process maximally efficient, using the limited budget we had. It’s worth noting that migrating the store to Shopify and connecting Google Merchant Center to the API played a significant role in delivering impressive results to the Client. Plus, we set up Google Analytics 4 for even better insights and tracking of our advertising performance, which appeared to be superb.
In our Search Campaigns, our main goal was to adapt the right tone of voice and the whole messaging, making it tailored to the target audience. This way we ensured that Papierniczeni ads weren’t seen as just another run-of-the-mill sales pitch. Instead, we aimed to capture attention by highlighting the exceptional quality of their products.
It’s worth noting that our Client’s assortment comes from both well-known and niche manufacturers worldwide and features a minimalist aesthetic, unique designs, exclusive collections, and artisanal craftsmanship.
In these campaigns, we made it clear that Papierniczeni is a workshop where customers can discover handcrafted, niche products.

(now Performance Max)
Starting from August 24, 2022, we switched from Shopping Campaigns to Performance Max, a versatile and goal-based campaign that mixes several campaign types (e.g. Search, Video, Shopping, and Display) in various combinations.
At the moment, we’re still waiting for the results to unfold over the long term, yet we can already see these campaigns gaining traction and delivering highly satisfying outcomes.
What’s particularly crucial with Performance Max campaigns is a shift in how we create such content. These campaigns demand a lot, not just in terms of ad content, but also in the choice of graphics and video materials. We also need to carefully plan our product structure and target audience.
For Papierniczoni, we took care of several important factors:
Moreover, in PM campaigns, it’s crucial to select video materials thoughtfully. Otherwise, Google might end up creating these materials on its own, which may not necessarily align with the company’s communication strategy.
To avoid this, at Delante, we always provide our Clients with a full guidebook. We’re also available for support and feedback.

Below is an example of a Performance Max Display Campaign for Papierniczeni
We developed distinct strategies for both new and returning customers at Papierniczeni to ensure that the conversions generated by the campaign would be as high as possible.
Every year, we started the campaigns in September and October to increase Papierniczeni’s visibility to the target audience, consequently helping the brand become more recognizable at the start of the sales season. However, with the introduction of Performance Max, pure Google Display Network campaigns have become less critical due to budget constraints and increased competition.

As we approached the new year, our primary goal was to facilitate the customers making the purchases in the easiest way possible.
The Performance Max and Display Campaigns were aimed at increasing visibility, hence driving more conversions. Additionally, the Dynamic Search Ads (DSA) analyzed the website, headlines, and titles to tailor ads to users’ queries. This helped us attract extra traffic and capture potential new search queries. This multi-stage approach delivered exceptionally positive results.
Between September 1st and October 15th, 2022, we achieved an impressive 1,930.54% return on ad spend (ROAS) and a highly satisfying level of sales.
For comparison, below are the results of the intelligent product campaign (iPLA) conducted during the same period the previous year (September 1st to October 15th, 2021):
This shows a significant increase in revenue by 378.26% (in terms of conversion value) and a 222.74% higher ROAS.
What’s even more rewarding is that, in addition to the noticeable increase in sales, the cost per conversion also decreased.
During these 12 months, we saw substantial improvements in various key metrics, including transactions (conversions), revenue (conversion value), ROAS (return on ad spend), and a significant reduction in the cost per conversion. You can see the details in the chart below.
Comparing the same periods year-on-year, we see clear increases in transactions (conversions), revenue (conversion value), ROAS (conversion value/cost) and a clear decrease in conversion cost:
When comparing October 1st, 2019 – October 1st, 2020 to October 1st, 2020 – October 1st, 2021, the revenue generated by Google Ads for Papierniczeni increased by 9,65%.
However, when comparing October 1st, 2020 – October 1st, 2021 to October 1st, 2021 – October 1st, 2022, Papierniczeni’s advertising revenue increased by an impressive 158.82%, which is an extremely satisfying result.
Here’s a quick summary of the % of revenue generated by advertising:
This clearly indicates that Google Ads has been playing a growing role in boosting the company’s revenue, which is something we’re extremely pleased about! It’s especially rewarding considering that working with clients like Papierniczeni is an absolute pleasure
Over the weekend of November 25th-27th, 2022, we achieved a remarkable ROAS of 6,216%. This outstanding result can be attributed to two key factors:
The Delante team has been managing our Google Ads campaigns since 2019. Right from the start, their dedication and ideas have consistently delivered results.
