How We Achieved $280K+ in Sales with a 4.51X ROAS in 30 Days Using Facebook Ads.
Every eCommerce brand owner wants rapid growth, but scaling profitably is a challenge. This case study details how we took a brand selling baby and children’s clothing in the U.S. from a 2.5X ROAS to 4.51X, generating over $763,925 in revenue in just three months.
The Starting Point
Before partnering with us, the client:
- Made ~$55K/month in sales at a 2.5X ROAS.
- Had an average order value (AOV) of $80–$90 with a site conversion rate of 2–2.45%.
- Struggled with tracking issues post-iOS update.
- Relying on VIP and Facebook Private Groups for 80% of sales, with only 20% from prospecting.
- Worked with four different agencies but couldn’t find a sustainable scaling solution.
Our Strategy for Scaling Profitably
1. Research & Testing Foundation
- Conducted deep competitor and market research.
- Developed a strong customer avatar and tested multiple angles and propositions.
- Focused on the brand experience, ensuring creatives resonated with parents.
2. Campaign Structure & Segmentation
We used a dual-framework approach:
- Testing Campaigns: Rapid testing of different creatives and audiences.
- Scaling Campaigns: Scaling winning ads while maintaining profitability.
We structured our targeting into three key segments:
A) Cold Prospecting
- Split campaigns into the top 3 best-selling product categories.
- Used interest-based targeting, testing one audience at a time.
- Ran Lookalike Audiences (LAAs) at 1-2% for the most relevant reach.
B) Warm Audiences
- Retargeted website visitors and social media engagers.
- Created custom campaigns for users who interacted but didn’t purchase.
C) Existing Customers (Retention Focused)
- Focused on increasing lifetime value (LTV) through targeted promotions.
- Used email and SMS marketing to re-engage past customers.
3. Creative Testing & Optimization
Ad creatives play a critical role in Facebook Ads success. Our testing framework included:
- Testing 15-20 creatives across 3-5 different audiences.
- Focusing on high-contrast close-ups that performed best in initial tests.
- Running A/B tests for different creative angles, such as static images vs. video ads.
- Leveraged a 1:5 ratio for backup ads (5 ready-to-go ads for every 1 running ad).
- Built an “Ads Repository” to store and quickly deploy high-performing creatives.
- Prioritized ad copy variations to match different audience motivations.
4. Scaling Strategy
We applied a structured scaling approach:
- Vertical Scaling: Increased budgets by 20% every three days on high-performing ads.
- Horizontal Scaling: Duplicated winning audiences into new campaigns using CBO (Campaign Budget Optimization) at $100 per campaign.
- Creative Testing: Introduced variations of top-performing creatives to sustain scaling.
- Retargeting Strategy: Allocated 30-50% of ad spend to scaling and retargeting campaigns.
5. Retention Strategy
Retention was a key part of our strategy, ensuring repeat purchases and sustained revenue growth.
- Exclusive VIP Group Access: Created FOMO (fear of missing out) by offering early access to new product launches.
- Personalized Email & SMS Campaigns: Used tailored messaging for abandoned cart recovery and post-purchase follow-ups.
- Loyalty Programs: Encouraged repeat purchases through exclusive discounts and incentives.
The Results
In 30 Days:
- $280K+ in sales with $49K ad spend at 4.51X ROAS.
- Customer retention rate jumped to 30% due to optimized retargeting.
- Revenue exceeded $763K within three months.
Key Takeaways:
- Fast testing and strategic scaling were crucial.
- Structuring campaigns with clear segmentation improved performance.
- Leveraging community-driven launches significantly increased LTV.
