SO, WHAT WERE THEY SELLING?

Graphic tees, hoodies and pop-culture apparel across different fandoms,
genres and limited-edition drops.

The catalogue was not the problem. The challenge was knowing which products
deserved attention right now.

WAY TOO MANY DESIGNS!

A catalogue this large can make an account look busy very quickly.

But busy is not the same as well managed.

The account had three things working against it:

WAY TOO MANY DESIGNS!

Strong designs and weak designs were often sharing the same budget, which made it harder for the real winners to break through. 

Every fandom behaved
differently

Horror, gaming, anime, retro and sci-fi buyers did not respond to the same creative, message or
offer.

NEEDED A MERCHANDISING SYSTEM

Limited drops needed to be tested quickly. Waiting too long for perfect data meant missing the moment when interest was highest. 

THE ACCOUNT NEEDED A MERCHANDISING SYSTEM

The real question was not:

“Which campaign performed best?”

It was:

“Which design, collection and fandom is actually earning more budget?”

SO I BUILT A TEST, SCALE OR DROP SYSTEM.

Controlled testing

Fresh products launched with enough budget to prove demand, without immediately being treated like guaranteed winners.

More spend to proven designs

Products with repeatable purchase volume earned more spend and a longer life inside catalogue and evergreen activity.

Treated Fandoms Sperately

Campaigns and creative were grouped around distinct themes instead of speaking to every pop-culture buyer in the same way.

Weak products were dropped

Designs that failed to earn clicks, carts or purchases were removed before they consumed too much budget

HERE’S WHAT THE STRATEGY PRODUCED
MY KEY TAKEAWAYS

With a fast moving catalogue, the hardest part is not launching ads.

It is making product decisions quickly enough that good designs get room to grow and weak ones stop taking up budget.

The account worked better once paid media started behaving more like merchandising.

SO, WHAT WERE THEY OFFERING?

Premium coffee products for customers who cared about quality, taste and convenience. Getting consistent results was not the hard part, scaling it consistently was the real deal.

The actual problem

Some campaigns performed. Some didn’t. The bigger issue was that there wasn’t enough structure behind scaling with consistent returns. 

The account had three things working against it:

THE ACTUAL PROBLEM

There were enough campaigns running to learn from. The problem was that the account wasn’t consistently using those learnings to decide what to kill, what to keep and what deserved more money.

GOOGLE PICKED UP THE PEOPLE ALREADY LOOKING

Meta helped create interest and bring the space into consideration.

Google handled a different job: capturing people already searching for
coffee, machinery and a potential partnership.

MY KEY TAKEAWAYS

Scaling gets a lot easier once the account stops guessing.

The biggest improvement here wasn’t one “winning ad”. It was building a
system that made it obvious which campaigns deserved more budget and which
ones didn’t.

SO, WHAT WERE THEY OFFERING?

Residential properties in the United States with a unique offer. Challenge wasn’t convincing people that homes are interesting. It was finding the people who were actually in a position to buy one.

The actual problem

Real-estate ads can attract a lot of curiosity. Unfortunately, curiosity and buying intent are not the same thing.  The account had three things working against it:

THE ACTUAL PROBLEM

Real-estate ads can attract a lot of curiosity.

Unfortunately, curiosity and buying intent are not the same thing.

The audience was too broad

Budget was being spread across people with very different levels of intent, affordability and readiness. 

AN ENQUIRY CAN MEAN ANYTHING.

It might mean: “I’m ready to book a viewing.” Or: “I like this kitchen and wanted the brochure.” The campaigns needed a better way to tell those people apart before the sales team spent time following up.

A PROPERTY ENQUIRY CAN MEAN ALMOST ANYTHING.

It might mean:

“I’m ready to book a viewing.”

Or:

“I like this kitchen and wanted the brochure.”

The campaigns needed a better way to tell those people apart before the sales team spent time following up.

SO I MADE THE LEAD FORM DO MORE OF THE WORK.

Added qualification Qs

The instant forms asked for useful information such as preferred location, budget, purchase timeline and financing status.

Reworked the creative

Ads highlighted location benefits, property features, payment flexibility and lifestyle value instead of relying on generic listing visuals.

Improved follow-up flow

Lead details were structured so serious prospects could be identified and contacted faster.

Rephrased existing offer

I rephrased their existing offer to look more attractive and pull in serious buyers.

SO, WHAT WERE THEY SELLING?

Wellness and skincare products including face serums, moisturisers, body oils and other self care essentials.

It was a crowded category, which meant looking “nice” was not enough. The ads needed a proper point of view.

TOO MANY BRANDS WERE SAYING THE SAME THING.

Natural. Clean. Organic. Gentle. Premium.

None of those words are bad. The problem is that almost every wellness brand uses them.

The account had three things working against it:

The creative was getting
tired

The same visual styles kept appearing, so performance gradually dropped as audiences saw more of the same.

NOW THIS IS WHAT I NOTICED…

A person who already understands the product may only need an offer or reminder. Someone seeing the brand for the first time needs more: the problem it solves, what’s inside it, how it fits into their routine and why it is worth trying. The account needed a better order of operations.

SO I GAVE EACH PART OF THE FUNNEL A DIFFERENT JOB.

Specific Positioning

The messaging moved away from generic wellness claims and focused more on product experience, ingredient quality, routines and the practical reason someone would use each item.

Creative rotation strategy

Lifestyle imagery, product close-ups, ingredient-led creatives, customer content and educational formats were rotated instead of relying on one visual style until it stopped working.

More education at the top

Cold audiences saw content that explained the product, the use case and the problem it solved before being pushed straight towards checkout.

Matched message to intent

HERE’S WHAT THE MAIN CAMPAIGNS PRODUCED.

MY KEY TAKEAWAYS

In a crowded category, vague language gets expensive.

People do not need another brand telling them a product is “natural.” They need to understand what it does, why it is relevant to them and why this version is worth choosing.

Once the ads started answering those questions properly, the numbers followed.

SO, WHAT WERE THEY OFFERING?

Flexible offices and coworking space in the UK for freelancers, small teams and growing businesses.The product itself was good. The harder part was getting the right people through the door to actually see it.

THE ACTUAL PROBLEM

On paper, the lead volume looked respectable. In practice, too many people had little intention of booking a tour or taking a workspace.

Scaled what proved itself

Budgets increased gradually behind the campaigns producing serious enquiries, rather than spreading spend evenly across everything.

GOOGLE PICKED UP THE PEOPLE ALREADY LOOKING

Meta helped create interest and bring the space into consideration. Google handled a different job: capturing people already searching for offices, coworking space and flexible workspace nearby.

MY KEY TAKEAWAYS

Cheap leads are not especially useful when nobody wants to visit. For a coworking space, the real job of the ads is to get the right person curious enough to step inside. Once the campaigns were built around that, the lead volume made a lot more sense.

SO, WHAT D0 THEY ACTUALLY DO

Home remodelling services across the US, kitchens, bathrooms and larger renovation projects. These aren’t impulse purchases. People compare contractors, check reviews, look for licences and take their time.

THE PIPELINE NEEDED BETTER PEOPLE.

Getting traffic wasn’t especially difficult. Getting the right homeowners at the right time was the harder part.  The account had three things working against it:

THIS IS WHAT THE LEAD CAMPAIGNS PRODUCED.

GOOGLE HAD A DIFFERENT JOB.

Meta helped reach homeowners before they necessarily started searching.

Google focused on the people already typing in the service they needed, which meant the keywords, location and search intent had to be much tighter.

WHAT I TOOK FROM THIS ONE.

Home services advertising gets expensive very quickly when the targeting is vague.

“Interested in home improvement” is not the same thing as “owns a home, needs a contractor and is ready to talk.”

The closer the campaigns got to that second person, the better the account performed.

SO, WHAT WERE THEY SELLING?

Premium baby & toddler products, the kind of stuff parents actually think about before buying.

High ticket products, new brand in the market, customers who needed more reassurance than “here’s an ad, now buy.

THE TRAFFIC WASN’T THE MAIN PROBLEM

SO, WHAT WERE THEY SELLING?

A faith-based ecommerce brand selling apparel, rosaries, jewellery and accessories to a pretty specific audience. And that specificity was both the advantage and the problem.

THE TRAFFIC WASN’T THE MAIN PROBLEM.

People were making it surprisingly far into the journey. They’d browse products, add to cart and even begin checkout.
Then a chunk of them disappeared. The account had three things working against it:

THE ACTUAL PROBLEM

People were making it surprisingly far into the journey. They’d browse products, add to cart and even begin checkout. Then a chunk of them disappeared.

Targeting was either too broad or too tight

Go too broad and budget gets wasted. Go too narrow and you run out of new parents very quickly.

THE BIGGEST THING I NOTICED?

Someone adding a premium product to cart is already giving a strong signal. I didn’t need to keep convincing from scratch. I needed to get better at separating new shoppers from high-intent visitors & give each a different reason to move.

THE BIGGEST THING I NOTICED?

Someone adding a premium baby product to cart is already giving you a pretty strong signal. I didn’t need to keep convincing everyone from scratch. I needed to get better at separating new shoppers from high-intent visitors and give each group a different reason to move.

WHAT I
NOTICED…

I stopped treating everyone who interacted with the brand as one big audience with the same buying intent and behavior.

Some people were there for the content. Some were browsing. Some had shown actual purchase intent.

Those people shouldn’t see the same ads, and they definitely shouldn’t get the same share of the budget.

SO I REBUILT HOW THE ACCOUNT THOUGHT ABOUT PEOPLE

Separated The
Products

Rosaries, apparel and accessories got their own campaigns, messaging and budgets instead of fighting inside one generic setup.

Separated Interest From Intent

Engagement audiences were useful for building familiarity. Purchase-focused campaigns were reserved for people showing stronger buying signals.

Expanded Reach, Not Broad

Past purchasers, email lists and engaged users helped build lookalikes, while adjacent interests gave room to grow beyond faith-based audiences.

Measured What Actually Matters

Focused on strong purchase intent signals, not just likes and engagement, to guide budget, creative and campaign decisions more effectively overall.

SO I STOPPED TREATING EVERYONE THE SAME.

Cleaned up acquisition

Prospecting focused on audiences that actually looked like potential buyers, rather than simply anyone who happened to be a parent.

Retargeting around intent

Someone who watched a video got treated differently from someone who added a product to cart or started checkout.

Put trust into the ads

Testimonials, product proof and clearer reasons to buy helped reduce some of the hesitation around purchasing higher-value baby products online.

Gave more products a job

Campaigns weren’t built around one bestseller forever. Accessories, complementary products and bundles created more opportunities to increase the value of each customer.

THE TRAFFIC WASN’T THE MAIN PROBLEM

SO, WHAT WERE THEY SELLING?

THE ACTUAL PROBLEM

Religious content naturally gets likes, comments and shares. Great for community. Not automatically great for revenue.

01
👥

A Small Audience

You can burn through the obvious interests pretty quickly.

02
🛒

Different Products,
Different Buyers

Someone buying a hoodie does not necessarily shop like someone buying a rosary.

03
👍

Engagement Was Being Mistaken For Intent

A person liking a quote is not necessarily looking to buy anything.

Prospecting focused on audiences that actually looked like potential buyers, rather than simply anyone who happened to be a parent.

HERE’S THE PART YOU CAN ACTUALLY VERIFY.
THE FIRST PURCHASE WASN’T THE END OF IT.

Acquisition gets most of the attention in paid media, but a customer who comes back is worth a lot more than a one-off conversion.

Returning customer rate reached 29.07%, up 111% over the comparison period.

WHAT I TOOK FROM THIS ONE.

Sometimes the answer isn’t “get more traffic.”

This account already had people raising their hands. The bigger opportunity was figuring out who was closest to buying, removing some of the hesitation, and putting more budget behind the campaigns that proved they could convert.

AND THEN THE NUMBERS STARTED LOOKING LIKE THIS
BUT, META WASN’T WORKING ALONE!

Meta handled discovery, demand generation and retargeting. Google gave us another way to capture people already searching with intent.

MY KEY TAKEAWAYS

Niche audiences don’t always need more targeting. Sometimes they need better separation.

And high engagement is only impressive when you know what role it’s meant to play.
