The Challenge

Material Handling Exchange (MHE) faced the dual challenge of increasing sales through paid advertising while simultaneously reducing costs. The company needed to optimize its pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns across different states, identify the most effective geographic locations for advertising based on performance data, and determine the optimal allocation of advertising budgets to maximize returns. MHE also sought to minimize logistical costs associated with liquidation assets by reducing transportation expenses.
