Here’s how we helped a bootstrapped D2C startup run by college students grow their car & bike wraps brand from ₹2L → ₹6.5L monthly sales 👇

🚧 The Problems:

🔹 Running broad interest targeting with 1-2 creatives
🔹 No funnel — only TOF campaigns with no exclusions
🔹 Broken checkout + poor landing page experience
🔹 No catalogue, no abandoned cart recovery
🔹 Frequency at 2+ (ads burning out fast)
🔹 No CAPI setup — no purchase value tracking 

The Strategy

They had the product. They just didn’t have the performance structure.

Phase 1

Clean-Up & Fix the Foundation

✅ Layered targeting + excluded existing users
✅ Added 3-4 creatives per ad set
✅ Segmented audiences: engagers, visitors, ATCs
✅ CRO suggestions for landing → checkout
✅ Setup CAPI + Product Catalogue
✅ WhatsApp abandoned cart recovery flow

Phase 2

Scale Smart

✅ Switched to Advantage Shopping Campaigns (after failed LLA test)
✅ Created 1 ASC per product category
✅ Used carousel ads, UGC, catalogue sets, influencer videos
✅ Retargeted non-purchasers & social engagers
✅ Scaled top campaigns by +20% weekly (while maintaining 3X ROAS) 

Phase 1

Result

💡 CTR↑, CAC↓, Frequency ↓
🛒 15–20% cart recovery via WhatsApp
🔁 Better IC → Purchase ratio

Phase 2

Result

📈 Revenue hit ₹6,59,603 in March
🔥 Retargeting brought back 20–25% users
⚙ Stable, scalable ad account performance

Key Learnings for Founders

💡Creative fatigue isn’t about “bad” creatives. It’s about repetitive messaging.

💡ASC only works when you feed the algo good data. (Segmentation first)

💡Fix your funnel > before you increase budget.

💡CRO + WhatsApp automation = silent growth engines.

💡 This is how performance marketing should work — not flashy, just fundamentally solid.
