The brand
Women’s fashion, wholesale and retail, on Shopify Plus. Client since December 2024.
The problem
Mid-2025: about $30K a month on Meta at $37.10 a purchase, with link click-through near 1%.
What we did
Creator ads tested on a schedule. The Meta account rebuilt for new, deciding and past buyers. Email flows rebuilt. A new website in September 2026.
Read it with
Store sales count every channel, so not all of the growth is from ads. September is partial in both years. One client’s history, not a forecast.

The brand

Two kinds of buyer, one store.

Wholesale Fashion Trends sells women’s fashion two ways from one Shopify Plus store: in bulk to boutique owners, and piece by piece to shoppers.

Fashion is a hard category for ads. Styles change every season, so a winning ad wears out in weeks, and the same ad has to speak to a boutique owner stocking a rack and a shopper buying one top.

The challenge

The ads weren’t earning the click.

The creative

Four kinds of ad, tested on a schedule.

Creators and unboxings

A real person opening the box shows fit, fabric and size before the shopper has to ask.

Inside the business

Boutique owners buy from a supplier they trust. These show the team, the showroom and the orders going out.

Product statics

One product, one claim, one price. Fast to make, so many get tested and the losers get cut early.

Drops and sales

New collections and markdowns give past buyers a reason to come back.

What we learned

Four lessons for your store.

Fix the click first

Click-through was the first leak. Fix the hook before raising the budget.

Split your buyers

New, deciding and past buyers each see a different ad.

Keep the ad’s promise

A product page that matches the ad turns clicks into orders.

Win the second order

Email flows bring back the first-time buyer the ads paid for.
