How a Local Home Improvement Store Boosted Awareness for a New Roofing Product

When a local home improvement store introduced a new type of composite shingle—an alternative to traditional cedar shake shingles—they needed a marketing strategy that would resonate with their target audience and set their product apart. Roofing might not be the most glamorous purchase, but it’s a big decision for homeowners and one that can make a significant visual and functional impact on a home. Here’s how Vici Media helped the store turn this necessity into an opportunity

Shaking Up the Marketing Approach

Rather than running a traditional roofing ad, we leaned into a creative strategy that captured attention in a more subtle, organic way. Leveraging Social Mirror OTT, we delivered ads that blended seamlessly into the digital content homeowners were already consuming. The idea was simple: meet the audience where they were and present the product in a way that didn’t scream “roofing ad.

Targeting the Right Audience

Our targeting strategy focused on connecting with the most relevant audience segments

  • Behavioral Targeting: Ads were shown to individuals actively interested in categories like Home Improvement, Construction, Do It Yourself, and even specific vehicle categories like Ford F-Series and Chevy Silverado owners—groups often associated with hands-on projects.
  • Retargeting: To keep the product top of mind, we retargeted individuals who had already visited the store’s website, ensuring they saw reminders about the shingles as they browsed other content.

Campaign Results

By the end of the campaign, the results spoke for themselves

  • The client reported an uptick in contractor inquiries specifically mentioning the composite shingles. Contractors were asking sales representatives about the product by name.
  • The campaign also saw 42 QR code scans, an impressive number given the niche nature of the product.

The Takeaway

This campaign demonstrates the power of creative advertising paired with precise targeting. By stepping away from conventional roofing ads and embracing innovative digital strategies, the home improvement store successfully increased awareness for their new shingles and drove meaningful engagement
