The client

The Candy Box offers a diverse range of hard-to-find American sweets — international candies with flavour profiles you can't easily get in Ireland. They sell to two very different audiences at once: individual shoppers buying online, and businesses ordering corporate gifts in bulk.

The challenge

Two goals, one account. Drive online sales through the e-commerce shop, and at the same time generate qualified leads for the corporate-orders side of the business — two funnels that pull in different directions if you don't structure them deliberately.

What we did

We built a strategy around those two goals and configured the campaigns to match:

  • A Shopping campaign across the product catalogue to capture high-intent buyers.
  • A Performance Max lead campaign optimised for a Lead Submit conversion — wired up through Google Tag Manager against the corporate-orders contact form, so every lead was tracked properly rather than guessed at.

The results

In the first six months the campaigns generated €98,000 in revenue — roughly tripling online sales — alongside 409 B2B leads from the corporate-orders funnel.
