E-commerce Growth Case Study: Scaling Revenue with High-Performance Facebook & IG Ads
Executive Summary
Industry: E-commerce (US Market) Timeframe: January 1, 2025 – September 17, 2025 Core Challenge: Scaling customer acquisition and maximizing Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) across a complex product catalog.
This case study details a high-impact Facebook (Meta) advertising campaign for a US-based E-commerce client. Over a period of months, a focused strategy leveraging creative testing and deep-funnel optimization led to exceptional results, demonstrating best-in-class efficiency and scale. The campaigns delivered over 17,800 purchases and achieved a near 10x Return on Ad Spend (ROAS).
Client Profile and Market Challenge
The client is a dynamic E-commerce brand operating exclusively in the highly competitive United States market. Prior to this engagement, the brand faced the typical scaling challenge: how to significantly increase ad spend to drive massive revenue without sacrificing profitability. They required a robust, data-driven system to identify and scale winning creatives and audiences rapidly.
Key Goals:
- Achieve a minimum Target ROAS (tROAS) of 3.5x or higher.
- Drive significant volume of purchases to facilitate rapid business growth.
- Maintain a low Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) to ensure healthy profit margins.
Strategy & Execution
Our strategy centered on a multi-layered, full-funnel approach, allowing the Meta algorithm the necessary flexibility to find high-intent buyers while maintaining strict control over budget allocation to proven performers.
A. Full-Funnel Campaign Structure
- The campaign architecture included multiple campaigns targeting different stages of the customer journey (as evidenced by the various campaign names in the data):
- Top-of-Funnel (TOFU): Broad targeting utilizing high-engagement video and image ads to introduce the brand to new, cold audiences.
- Middle/Bottom-of-Funnel (MOF/BOFU): Retargeting campaigns focused on website visitors, cart abandoners, and previous engagers, driving them back to complete their purchase.
B. Aggressive Creative Testing and Iteration
- Analysis of the ad-level data revealed a successful \”test and scale\” model:
- We continuously cycled in new creatives (images, videos, and carousel formats, noted by names like \’image 2\’, \’image 3\’, and various post IDs in the Ad set details).
- Budget was aggressively shifted towards high-performing ads. For instance, the single highest-performing ad generated 2,888 purchases with a spend of just $7,410.25, illustrating effective budget concentration on winning assets.
C. Attribution and Optimization
- All campaigns were optimized for \”Website Purchases,\” utilizing a standard 7-day click or 1-day view attribution setting, ensuring the advertising efforts were directly tied to measurable revenue generation.
