Loot Audio is an e-commerce business meaning they have to sell their product online, and therefore, face a lot of advertising challenges. That’s where marketing analytics tool like RedTrack comes in handy.
Challenges of Loot Audio before using RedTrack
The company actively uses Facebook and Instagram to run advertising campaigns and AdWords to help with Google discoverability and search. But difficulties often arise during the tracking of results.
One of the client’s biggest problems was the lack of accurate tracking and results presented in the Facebook ads manager. Because of this, it is impossible to calculate the ROI of advertising campaigns correctly. In addition, you have to wait several days for the results, which has a negative effect on the work process.
“Often we would find that the results were not matching real-world figures and therefore we could not rely on the Facebook ad manager to deliver us with accurate results.”
Before contacting us, the client tracked conversions with a custom-built CMS and had no experience with tracker services. The company was looking for a simple yet effective, reliable, and feature-rich tool to help cover all tasks and problems.
Why RedTrack for tracking & analytics?
Loot Audio approached us with specific goals:
- accurate conversion tracking (to understand which ads drive conversions aka sales)
- use of the Partnership portal (to use the power of affiliate marketers)

Conversions that needed to be tracked:
- Purchase
- Add to Cart
- Begin Checkout
- Provide Payment Details
- Site Search
- Page View
“We expected to see completely accurate results regarding our campaigns and to be able to track traffic, clicks, spend and return for each campaign.”
