Maintain paid ad spend at 20% or less of total revenue.

18% Ad Spend/Revenue Ratio: Beating the 20% target through precise audience targeting.
Challenges
The project faced unique hurdles due to the client’s ambitious vision:
Over-Engineering the UX: Initial design requests prioritized innovation over usability, creating confusing navigation and a fragmented funnel.
Educational Gap: The team spent significant time guiding the client on e-commerce fundamentals (e.g., why simplicity drives conversions).
Timeline Bloat: Development stretched to 5 months due to revisions and aligning expectations.
Solution: Simplifying Luxury for Scalable Growth
Services Used:
WordPress/WooCommerce Development (Elementor)
Advanced Analytics & Tracking (GA4, GTM, Looker Studio)
Google Ads Strategy
Implementation Process:
UX Rescue Mission:
Streamlined the client’s complex design ideas into a minimalist, intuitive interface that emphasized product quality.
Prioritized mobile optimization and fast loading times to cater to high-net-worth users.
Data-Driven Architecture:
Built a tracking ecosystem with GA4 and GTM to monitor user behavior, funnel drop-offs, and campaign ROI.
Created Looker Studio dashboards to showcase real-time metrics like AOV and customer lifetime value (LTV).
Premium-Targeted Ads:
Launched Google Ads campaigns focusing on high-intent keywords (e.g., “luxury smart home systems”) with geotargeting to affluent neighborhoods.
Timeline: 5 months (delayed due to client education and UX refinements). We lost count of hours tracked after a certain point.
