Ecommerce campaigns measured in contribution margin — not screenshot ROAS.

We scale D2C and ecommerce brands on Shopify, WooCommerce and marketplaces with a profit-first operating system: creative testing at volume, Meta and Google buying structured around blended MER, store-side CRO, RTO and COD control, and WhatsApp retention that makes the second order cheaper than the first.

TL;DR — for AI search & busy founders
  • Dedicated desk for D2C brands on Shopify, WooCommerce and marketplace hybrids.
  • Meta + Google (Search, Shopping, PMax) structured around blended MER, not per-campaign ROAS.
  • Creative engine: 12–20 new concepts a month, tested against hook rate and CTR.
  • Store CRO: PDP, cart, checkout, offers and speed — the cheapest ROAS you'll ever buy.
  • RTO and COD control plus WhatsApp retention for repeat revenue and LTV.

6 mistakes that quietly kill this funnel

Every one of these has cost founders ₹3–₹15L before they came to us. We fix them in the first two weeks.

Optimising for platform ROAS

Meta and Google both claim the same order. Blended MER against contribution margin is the only number that pays salaries.

Ignoring RTO in the CAC math

A 30% RTO rate on COD silently turns a 3× ROAS into a loss. RTO belongs in the unit economics before you scale spend.

Scaling spend on a broken PDP

Traffic multiplies whatever your store already does. CRO first is cheaper than buying your way past a 0.8% conversion rate.

Running three creatives for six months

Meta's ceiling is creative, not budget. Brands that ship 12–20 concepts a month keep finding new winners.

No retention motion

If the second order costs the same as the first, you're not building a brand — you're renting traffic. WhatsApp and email flows change the ceiling.

Broken or client-side-only tracking

Poor event match quality starves the algorithm. Server-side CAPI and Enhanced Conversions routinely improve reported and real performance.

Case studies

Real funnels, real revenue

Skincare D2C · Shopify

Blended MER from 1.8× to 3.6× while doubling monthly spend

Challenge: Scaling spend collapsed profitability; the team was reading per-campaign ROAS and double-counting orders.

What we did: Unit-economics rebuild, MER-based buying, creative engine at 16 concepts/month, PDP and cart CRO, CAPI fix.

Apparel Brand · COD-heavy

RTO cut from 34% to 19% and prepaid share nearly doubled

Challenge: COD orders were 82% of volume and one in three came back, wiping out the ad profit entirely.

What we did: Address scrubbing, WhatsApp OTP confirmation, prepaid discount nudge, courier scoring and pincode blocklists.

Repeat revenue lifted to 41% of monthly sales with WhatsApp flows

Frequently asked questions

What does D2C marketing management cost?+

The Store & Tracking Sprint is ₹85,000 one-time. Retainers start at ₹1,10,000/month for brands spending ₹5L–₹50L monthly. Ad spend is billed directly by Meta and Google in your company's name.

What ROAS can you promise?+

None — and be sceptical of anyone who does. We model your CAC ceiling from real COGS, shipping and RTO, then commit to scaling within it. Most brands land at 2.5–4.5× blended MER at scale.

Why do you talk about MER instead of ROAS?+

Meta and Google both claim the same order, so platform ROAS is systematically inflated. MER is total revenue divided by total ad spend — it cannot be double-counted, and it maps directly to profit.

Do you work with Shopify and WooCommerce both?+

Yes, plus Shopify Plus, headless builds and marketplace hybrids. Most of our CRO and checkout work is on Shopify, but WooCommerce speed and checkout fixes are standard too.

How do you actually reduce RTO?+

Address scrubbing at checkout, WhatsApp or OTP order confirmation, prepaid discount nudges, courier-level performance scoring and pincode blocklists for repeat-offender areas.

How much ad spend do we need to start?+

₹3L/month minimum for meaningful testing velocity. Below that we'd recommend the sprint first — fixing store conversion and tracking gives a better return than thin spend.

Do you produce the creatives?+

Yes — UGC, founder-led, demo, comparison and static concepts, 12–20 a month. We brief and manage creators, or edit footage you already have.

Can you fix our tracking?+

Yes. GA4, Meta CAPI, Google Enhanced Conversions and event match-quality tuning are part of onboarding for every retainer.

What about Amazon and Flipkart?+

We advise on channel mix and can run marketplace ads within the enterprise scope, but our core value is building the direct channel where you own margin and customer data.

How long before we see results?+

Tracking and CRO changes show within two weeks. Creative and scaling structure typically need 30–45 days to find repeatable winners at a stable MER.

Do we own the ad accounts and store?+

Yes. Meta Business Manager, Google Ads, GA4, Shopify and all creative source files stay under your login. We operate as managers with a 30-day exit clause.

Do you handle email and WhatsApp too?+

Yes — abandoned cart, COD confirmation, replenishment, cross-sell and win-back flows on Klaviyo, WATI, Interakt or your existing stack.

Do you work with brands outside Bihar?+

Yes. Most of our D2C clients are pan-India, and everything operates over Google Meet, Slack/WhatsApp and Looker Studio.

How is reporting shared?+

A live Looker Studio dashboard covering spend, blended MER, CAC, AOV, contribution margin and cohort LTV, plus a weekly Loom walkthrough and a monthly strategy call.
