03

The reading

Farmers and DIY builders drove most of the response.

Farmers produced 85 link clicks and DIY builders 70, together 155 of the 208. Audiences overlap, so the group figures do not add up to the total reach.

  • Farmers

    15,980 reached, 85 link clicks

    The largest audience and the strongest response.

  • DIY

    14,416 reached, 70 link clicks

    Close behind on response, with a lower frequency.

  • Plumber projects

    7,868 reached, 35 link clicks

    A smaller group with a steady response.

  • Garden projects

    6,360 reached, 18 link clicks

    The smallest audience, and the least response.

The outcome

One week of targeted carousel ads reached 31,400 people for Water Africa.

208 link clicks. Shoppers sent to the Facebook page, WhatsApp line and website.
