35% Increase in Online Inquiries and Increase in Conversations Through Orders Placed on Messages.
In the Tanzanian retail sector, the transition from “brick-and-mortar” to “click-and-order” is often met with hesitation. Customers are used to touching a product before buying. For Azzaman Household, our mission was to bridge this gap. By combining crystal-clear product visuals with aggressive “Free Shipping” incentives and lifestyle-focused copy, we successfully shifted customer behavior from in-store browsing to online purchasing.
Selling breakable and electrical goods online presents unique trust barriers:
✅ The “Touch and Feel” Factor: Customers hesitate to buy appliances like stand mixers or irons without seeing the build quality.
✅ Price Comparison: The electronics market is price-sensitive; users will switch brands for a small difference in cost.
✅ Delivery Trust: Fear of goods arriving damaged or late is high in the local market.
We deployed a “Clarity and Convenience” strategy to build trust and drive clicks.
✅ Price-Transparent Creatives: As seen in the Air Fryer and Pressure Cooker campaigns, we displayed prices upfront. This transparency filtered out window shoppers and attracted high-intent buyers ready to purchase.
✅ Lifestyle Hooks: We moved away from dry specs. For the iron ads, we used copy like “Look Sharp For Your Meetings,” connecting the product directly to the user’s personal success and professional image.
✅ The “Free Shipping” Push: We heavily promoted the “Free Shipping when you shop online” offer. This was the key lever to overcome the hesitation of buying online—eliminating the delivery cost made the website more attractive than a physical trip to the store.
✅ Human Connection: We integrated real photos of happy customers and staff holding products. This “social proof” reassured new buyers that real people are buying and receiving these goods safely.
✅ Interactive Polls: We used “Nani Ata Shinda” (Who will win?) polls comparing different product sets (like the pan sets) to spark debate and boost organic reach.
The focus on online conversion drove tangible revenue growth:
📈 Sales Growth: We achieved a 35% increase in online inquiries within the first month.
🌐 Website Traffic: The clear call-to-actions drove consistent traffic and online leads.
