How Yellow Pop Reduced CAC with Server-Side Tracking
In this case study, we explore how Yellow Pop, a popular online decor store, tackled the issue of missing vital information from their Facebook ads. With the help of Polar’s server-side tracking, Yellow Pop increased their ad data capture, resulting in significant improvements in ad performance metrics over just two weeks. The implementation led to a 36% drop in Cost per Purchase, a 28% boost in Return On Ad Spend.
The Problem: Only 12% of Click ID matched
Yellow Pop, a leading home decor e-commerce business, was grappling with a significant issue related to their digital marketing strategy. Despite a satisfactory purchase event match quality, their Meta Pixel was missing most Facebook click IDs, which led to suboptimal tracking and advertising performance.

"Thanks to Polar, we have seen an impressive boost in our Return On Ad Spend by 28%, and we slashed our Cost per Purchase by 36%. We achieved this without changing our ad spend, which was just amazing."

The Game Plan

In simple terms, they decided to capture more details from their ads through a new method. This move was made on June 29th, and the change was clear from the get-go - they started recording more ad activity.
This strategic change was initiated on June 29th, and a distinct lift in Total Events and % of events received from the server was observed, a notable enhancement from their previous setup that used CAPI through Shopify.

After 14 days of implementing this server-side tracking strategy with Polar Pixel across their three stores, Yellow Pop achieved impressive results, all while maintaining their ad spend:
- A decrease in the Cost per Purchase by 36%
- An increase in Return On Ad Spend (ROAS) by 28%
