E-Commerce Edition

Revenue can grow while profit quietly disappears.

ROAS is not profit, and a placed order is not a sold one. We grow online stores on the numbers your accountant recognises — delivered, paid-for, un-returned orders.

The Growth Problem

ROAS is not profit. A placed order is not a sold one.

Platform ROAS counts the order at checkout. Your P&L counts the delivered, paid-for, un-returned order.

  1. 01

    ROAS is read off the platform — before returns, shipping and COGS.

  2. 02

    Cash-on-delivery orders are counted as revenue months before they are.

  3. 03

    The offer fails before the media buying ever starts.

  4. 04

    Creative fatigue raises acquisition cost faster than budget can absorb.

  5. 05

    Scaling outruns tracking quality — so nobody knows which product carried the month.

The Commerce Journey

We optimise the full journey — including the part Meta can’t see.

Two campaigns can show identical ROAS in Ads Manager and differ by 30% in delivered revenue. We report both — and optimise for the second.

An order is a promise. A delivered order is revenue.

What We Do

The profitable growth system.

Four operating layers — sequenced, not simultaneous. Fixing the offer after scaling the spend is the expensive order to do it in.

01

Product & Offer

We rank your catalogue by margin and demand before spending anything. The wrong product at the right budget still loses money.

02

Creative Testing

Hooks, demonstrations, UGC and offer-led concepts — tested against the objections that stop the purchase.

03

CRO & Merchandising

Product pages, bundles, checkout friction and offer clarity. We fix the conversion rate before we scale the spend.

04

Tracking to Delivered Revenue

Pixel and CAPI, purchase value, product-level reporting and reconciliation against what actually shipped and stayed sold.

Creative Strategy

One product. Many reasons to buy.

Creative is a system here, not a design service — a rotating slate, not a launch checklist.

1

Offer & bundle

Value framing, not raw discount.

2

Social proof

UGC, reviews, real customers using it.

3

Demonstration

The product doing the thing it promises.

4

Objection

Quality, authenticity, sizing — “is it worth it?”

5

Trust

Cash on delivery, easy returns, delivery speed.

6

Urgency

Genuine scarcity, launch windows, seasonal moments.

Measurement

We report the numbers your accountant recognises.

Three grouped lenses, reviewed weekly.

Tier 01

Efficiency

What it costs to win the order.

  • Cost per acquisition
  • New-customer CAC
  • Blended MER
Tier 02

Economics

What the order is actually worth.

  • Average order value
  • Contribution margin after COGS, shipping & returns
  • Delivered-order rate
Tier 03

Durability

Whether the growth compounds.

  • Repeat purchase rate
  • Customer lifetime value
  • Revenue by product & campaign

Platform ROAS is a diagnostic. Contribution margin is the score.

Channel Mix

Where we deploy — and why.

Four channels. Each with one job, weighted quarterly against the delivered-revenue number.

01

Meta

Demand generation

Creative-led testing at pace across audiences — where the catalogue finds new buyers.

02

Google

Intent capture

Product searches, brand terms and category demand — traffic already looking to buy.

03

WhatsApp / Email

Retention

Abandoned carts, RTO recovery and repeat purchase — the cheapest revenue in the account.

04

Remarketing

Recovery

Product viewers, add-to-cart and checkout abandoners — priced per delivered order.

One channel, one job. Overlap is a sign of undisciplined planning.

FAQ

E-commerce marketing, answered.

What store owners and growth leads ask first.

Still have a question?

Is ROAS the right KPI for our store?

ROAS is a useful diagnostic, but it ignores returns, shipping and product cost. We optimise for contribution margin and new-customer CAC, and use ROAS to read individual campaigns.

How do you handle cash on delivery?

We report delivered and paid orders alongside platform purchases, track return-to-origin rates and feed the difference back into optimisation — so budget follows revenue that actually lands.

Which store platforms do you work with?

Any platform with clean tracking — Shopify, WooCommerce, Salla, Zid or a custom build. We set up the Pixel, Conversions API and purchase values correctly before we scale spend.

How quickly can we scale?

Usually in the second or third month, once tracking and offers are fixed. We scale margin-positive products first, and keep adding budget only while contribution margin holds.
