We got a last minute email Thursday night giving us a heads up that one of our clients would like to run a Black Friday AdWords campaign in the morning. For those people that have missed the excitement of Black Friday it is another American phenomenon that has shipped its way across to our shores. Stores (Shops if your English) create hype by offering crazy sales allowing people to save money on their Christmas Shopping.
Wanting our Black Friday AdWords campaign to stand out from our competitors we dived into our Google box of tricks and decided to add the new (ish) countdown feature to the 2nd description line of our AdWords adverts.
The main issue I had with this feature was its lack of compatibility with AdWords Editor. I do 90% of AdWords changes using this great Google Tool, but it doesn’t (currently) recognise the COUNTDOWN tag and is restricted due to the 35 or 25 character limit. The alternative of editing multiple adverts using the web version of AdWords also creates a very similar problem flagging up the additional characters.
We left out the COUNTDOWN tag from our Black Friday AdWords campaign and then used the bulk download feature to generate a csv file that could be edited in Excel. After 2 minutes of editing we simply uploaded the amended csv file and the new COUNTDOWN Black Friday AdWords adverts were live within 10min.
