Industries · Blended ROAS that holds at scale.

For retail, D2C, and ecommerce brands that need ROAS, not vanity.

From first sale to ninth rebuy — we build the full acquisition + retention engine for consumer brands across retail and ecommerce, with a focus on blended ROAS, AOV, and LTV:CAC that stays healthy as you scale.

eCommerce growth is deceptively simple math that almost every brand gets wrong. You can hit 8× ROAS at ₹50K/day and still lose money at ₹5L/day — because CAC compounds against contribution margin, not gross margin, and the retention curve you pretended didn't matter at small scale becomes the only thing that matters at big scale.

We treat a D2C or retail brand as one economic engine, not a stack of channel budgets. First-party data, Meta + Google prospecting, creative velocity, lifecycle email and SMS, Shopify or Woo or Magento CRO, and inventory-aware ad rules all plug into a single dashboard where blended ROAS, AOV, payback window, and LTV:CAC are the only numbers anyone looks at. Vanity metrics — follower counts, reach, "engagement rate" — appear nowhere in the weekly report.

The outcome is a brand that scales spend 5–10× without ROAS collapse, because the creative pipeline, the retention flows, and the CRO programme are all compounding in parallel. Over 30,000 ecommerce orders have been shipped through this operating model; it is not theory.

Where retail & ecommerce growth breaks

The bottlenecks most retail & ecommerce brands hit — and where we start fixing.

ROAS collapses the moment you try to scale

A brand hitting 8× at ₹50K/day but 2× at ₹5L/day has a creative-throughput problem or a retention-curve problem — usually both. We fix the creative pipeline first (weekly concept cadence) and the post-purchase flows second.

iOS 14+ attribution blind spots

Meta's reported ROAS drifted from reality after the iOS privacy changes. We wire first-party tracking via server-side GA4 + Meta CAPI + a blended attribution model, so the number on the dashboard matches the number in the bank account.

Email and SMS pulling 5% of revenue, not 25%

A healthy D2C brand earns 22–35% of revenue from lifecycle email + SMS at steady state. Brands doing less than 15% are leaving enormous margin on the table and paying for it in higher blended CAC.

Catalog feed fighting Performance Max

Incorrectly structured feeds, missing custom labels, and bad GTIN/MPN data mean Performance Max and Advantage+ pick the wrong products to amplify. A 2-day feed rebuild routinely unlocks 20–40% efficiency.

Confusing gross margin for contribution margin

Your brand's gross margin may be 70% but after paying for ads, packaging, fulfilment, and returns, contribution margin often drops to 25–35%. Target ROAS must be set against contribution margin; otherwise you're scaling losses.

What we focus on

The four systems we build for every retail & ecommerce client.

Meta + Google blended buying

Prospecting and retargeting engineered together, not in silos.

Creative production engine

Weekly creative sprints, always-on testing, hooks built around your catalog.

Lifecycle + email + SMS

Welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase, win-back — on brand, on cadence.

Shopify / Woo / Magento CRO

PDP, PLP, and checkout experiments that raise conversion without killing AOV.

What we report weekly

The metrics that actually move retail & ecommerce revenue.

Likes, reach, and followers don't pay salaries. These are the numbers we report every week, with clear definitions and target ranges — so the board meeting starts with signal, not noise.

Right for

When this engagement fits

  • D2C / retail brands doing ≥₹15L/month in revenue with ambitions to 5–10×
  • Shopify, WooCommerce, or Magento stores (or ready to migrate)
  • Brands with at least 40% gross margin and data-backed contribution margin
  • Teams ready for a weekly creative cadence, not monthly content calendars
Not right for

When you should pick someone else

  • Pre-revenue brands — product-market-fit work comes before paid scale
  • Reseller / dropship brands with no brand moat or contribution margin
  • Teams wanting a single-channel "Meta only" setup with no retention strategy
  • Brands unwilling to invest in creative production alongside media
Included playbooks

The ready-made artefacts we bring on day one.

  • First-party data collection with zero-party layers
  • TikTok + Shorts creative hooks that transfer across platforms

Our method, applied to retail & ecommerce

Named frameworks, specific applications.

These are not generic consulting slides. Each framework has a 500+ client track record — here's how we translate them into this category.

Framework

Value Equation

Every PDP gets audited against Dream Outcome × Perceived Likelihood ÷ Time Delay × Effort. Hero sections are rewritten to maximise the numerator; checkout flows are cut to minimise the denominator. Conversion lifts of 15–30% are typical in month one.

Framework

Zero-Cost Marketing

If first-purchase contribution margin covers CAC, the programme scales to infinity at zero net cost. We architect AOV increases (bundles, tripwires, post-purchase offers) and creative efficiency so more brands cross the zero-cost threshold on first order, unlocking uncapped spend.

Framework

Discounted Advertising

A launch burst that returns 80% of its cost in immediate orders isn't a loss — it's 80% discounted brand building, remarketing data, and future-email-list fuel. We classify every campaign into Profitable / Zero-Cost / Discounted / Losing so the commercial conversation stops pretending ROAS is a single number.

Framework

1% Improvement Rule

15 funnel steps × 1% improvement each compounds to ~16% end-to-end. We audit every step (hook, click, landing, add-to-cart, checkout, post-purchase) weekly and pick the cheapest 1% uplift. Over a quarter, the compounded impact routinely doubles profit.

Category benchmarks

Ranges we see consistently across healthy programmes in the category. Use them as a sanity check for your own numbers — if you're outside the range, there's a reason (either a structural advantage or an unfixed leak).
