Marketing Campaign – Case Study
This case study documents the creation and execution of a digital campaign for an online course titled “How to Sell on Mercado Libre.” The project included measurable goal setting, landing page design and copywriting, SEO strategy implementation, analytics setup, and the development of an email marketing nurture sequence. The campaign was structured in pre-launch, launch, and post-campaign phases, successfully simulating the expected results for portfolio presentation.
1. Goals & numeric targets (measurable)
-
Primary goal (sales):
Sell 10 courses in 2 weeks.
-
Secondary goal (leads):
Capture 200 leads in those 2 weeks.
Traffic estimate:
Assuming an opt-in rate (visitor → lead) of 8%, you need:
Visitors needed = 200 / 0.08 = 2,500 visitors in 2 weeks.
Alternative conservative scenario:
- If lead→sale is 3% → need ~333 leads → visitors ≈ 4,163.
2.Target Audience
Primary Audience:
-
Aspiring sellers who want to start selling on Mercado Libre, especially those with physical products.

- Stage 2: Difficulty making their product stand out from the competition.
- Stage 3: Lack of confidence in shipping and payment processes.
Audience Research
Analyzed Facebook groups and Mercado Libre forums to identify common pain points.
Monitored LinkedIn/YouTube discussions to map recurring questions (e.g., “How to rank products?”).
