Garmin strives to develop the most premium products, matching the passion and important activities in its customers' lives. Characteristic of the corporate culture: eerness, integrity and respect for employees, customers and business partners. We share these values.

At the start of the cooperation between DEA.Amsterdam and Garmin, it was immediately apparent that the smartwatch market is a very competitive and competitive market. Mainly large retailers such as Coolblue, Mediamarkt, Bol.com and later also Amazon competed heavily in Google Ads, which prevented a top position of Garmin on Google Shopping.

DEA.Amsterdam was asked by Garmin to optimize its Google Shopping campaigns, without paying top dollar, in support of its mission: to claim the top 3 position in the Smartwatch domain.

DEA.Amsterdam used the CSS (Comparison Shopping Service) platform Producthero in combination with several Smart Shopping campaigns, a bidding strategy plan and an ambitious ROAS target. This allows Garmin to benefit from qualitative shopping campaigns as well as purchasing advantages.

We provided a seamless setup in Producthero and the setup of several Smart Shopping campaigns per relevant Smartwatch theme. All campaigns have their own objective and matching (bidding) strategy. In combination with Producthero Optimizer, Garmin's product feed was optimized to counter the competition.

After a 2-week learning period, we could already see a clear difference in performance. We brought in significantly more impressions and clicks at over 15% lower cost per click. By bringing in more clicks, 25% more conversions were achieved. Through the efficiency improvements in the campaigns, Garmin is now stable in the top 3 in the auction insights.
