E-commerce marketing agency for revenue that keeps its margin.

Online shop marketing across all channels, calculated as blended ROAS. We run creatives, Shopping campaigns and the shop itself together.

Why does revenue stall despite traffic?

We see these five reasons in online shops again and again.

  • Rising click prices eat the margin

    More budget does not bring more profit. It brings more expensive customers.

  • The checkout loses buyers

    Every unnecessary step costs orders that were almost certain.

  • Tracking double counts

    Every platform attributes the sale to itself. The blended ROAS shows what really remains.

  • Creatives burn out within two weeks

    A new visual runs for two weeks, then costs rise. On top of that, Meta reads similar ads as one (Andromeda). Ten variants of the same idea are just one creative to the algorithm.

  • USPs instead of reasons to buy

    Features rarely convince people. Personal benefits and real voices do.

Every euro that goes into tired creatives makes the next customer more expensive. Every abandoned checkout is an order that was almost certain. And as long as every platform reports its own ROAS, nobody knows which channel really earns margin.

More budget, bigger discounts, a new freelancer?

None of this is a bad idea. It just starts in the wrong place.

  1. More budget

    More budget on the same visuals mostly brings more expensive customers. Whatever does not work just gets bigger.

    • Tracking and shop first, then budget
    • Budget on the winners, every Monday
  2. Bigger discounts

    With discounts you pay for revenue with margin. And your customers learn to wait for the next promotion.

    • Offers and bundles instead of permanent discounts
    • Plan the season with a lead-in
  3. The next freelancer

    One new shoot per quarter does not replace a system that tests new visuals against each other every week.

    • Creators, UGC and statics in weekly testing
    • Winners by cost per purchase

How does an online shop grow profitably?

More budget usually just makes the problem bigger. In our shop cases, success came from measurement, shop and creative working together.

  • Measure first, then buy

    More budget only pays off once every order is measured cleanly. At Nordic Spirit, bidding on a target CPA lowered the cost per conversion by 36%.

  • Creators instead of product videos

    For a health brand, a purchase via a creator video cost €82, via the product video €215.

  • Channels with clear roles

    Meta brings reach and volume, Google the cheapest sales. At Nordic Spirit, always-on Google Search was the most efficient campaign type.

  • The offer wins

    For Nordic Spirit, headlines with a concrete offer plus a recurring brand claim were the strongest messages. In the second month there were 7,800 orders.

  • Season and launch with a lead-in

    A peak pays off when awareness has been built cheaply beforehand. A launch needs the same lead-in: for isi, Twist'n Sparkle went live in 4 languages in time for the Messe Frankfurt trade fair.

What is e-commerce marketing?

E-commerce marketing is everything that brings visitors to an online shop and turns them into buyers and repeat buyers there: advertising on Meta, Google and Pinterest, creatives, product feeds, conversion optimisation and retention, measured by revenue and margin across all channels.

If you want to increase ROAS, you need all of these steps, not just more budget. This is how we set them up, and we measure each step on its own.

Measured by revenue. We agree before the start which metric exactly counts, for example blended ROAS or contribution margin.

No dashboard that nobody reads. We go through the numbers together, including the ones that did not work.

What does a better conversion rate earn you?

Enter sessions, conversion rate and order value and see what every tenth of a percentage point is worth with your traffic. No email needed.

What is a better conversion rate worth to you?

additional revenue per year from the same traffic

Range €216,000 to €360,000. Range: your improvement a quarter smaller to a quarter larger.

€288,000 additional revenue per year from the same traffic. With your traffic, every tenth of a percentage point of conversion rate is worth around €8,000 per month.

A worked example based on your inputs, not a promise. The starting values are arbitrary, not benchmarks.

Are we a good fit?

We sit in your meetings, know your margin and argue with you about creatives. That only works if it fits on both sides.

Fits · 4 points

We are a good fit if

  • You have product-market fit and want to scale, not test
  • The shop may be changed: product page, checkout, offer logic
  • You want to see the blended view, not the most flattering channel number
  • The margin can support paid clicks
Does not fit · 4 points

We are the wrong partner if

  • The shop should stay untouched and just get traffic
  • The margin cannot support paid clicks
  • Results are needed within two weeks
  • The reporting should look good rather than be right

More revenue from the same traffic.

Chapter 1: Measure first, then scale

Before a shop gets more budget, it must be clear what a sale really costs. This paper shows why blended ROAS is the more honest metric and how to set up tracking and product feeds as the foundation.

  1. 02Chapter 2 shows why personal benefits and UGC often sell better than feature lists.
  2. 03Chapter 3 goes through the 14 points where product page and checkout most often lose buyers.
  3. 04Chapter 4 describes how AI speeds up creative testing without diluting the brand.

More on e-commerce marketing?

Questions about e-commerce marketing.

What slows down an online shop's conversion rate?

An online shop's conversion rate is usually held back by load time, a cumbersome checkout, a lack of trust on the product page, an unclear offer and tracking that delivers the wrong numbers. Our 14-point CR check reviews these areas systematically, checked by the team, not just by AI.

How do you grow revenue without simply spending more budget?

More revenue without blindly adding budget comes from clean tracking, a simpler checkout, better product pages and creatives that are tested systematically. For manadental, a purchase via creator content cost 2.6x less than via the product video.

Do UGC creatives work better than product videos?

Often yes, but the test decides. For a dental and health brand, a sale via a creator video cost €82, via the classic product video €215.

How do you plan Black Friday on Meta?

You plan Black Friday on Meta with a lead-in phase that builds attention cheaply and a clear offer phase that picks up this audience. It is measured by blended ROAS across all channels, not by the most flattering number of one platform.

Which metric counts in e-commerce?

In e-commerce, revenue counts, measured by the blended ROAS across all channels, not the ROAS a single platform reports. Platforms like to count sales twice, and the blended ROAS shows what is really left.

How quickly will we see results?

You see first signals in the live dashboard from the first testing weeks, and the picture becomes reliable within the 12-week POC. At the end of the POC you decide based on the revenue figures whether to continue.

Do you look after online shops from Vienna in Germany and Switzerland too?

Yes. ad.boutique looks after online shops and D2C brands from Vienna and Zurich, in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. We measure by blended ROAS across all channels, and if you like, per market with its own budgets and visuals.

Do you guarantee more revenue?

No, nobody can seriously guarantee revenue, because range, price and market all play a part. What we offer: with the growth partnership in the Boutique Offer, the fixed fee only covers our costs, and we only make a profit through a share of the additional revenue. In the POC you see every number live.

You also work for real estate and banks. Do you understand e-commerce?

Yes. Shop, creatives and channels come from one team at ad.boutique. Martin Haslinger from the management team is responsible for the overall view across all channels. The proof is in cases such as Nordic Spirit, manadental and isi.

Why do my creatives burn out so quickly?

Because Meta, with Andromeda, reads similar ads as one and quickly shows the same idea to the same people. New colours or copy then help little. We test 4 to 6 different concept creatives per ad set, meaning different ideas such as a creator video, a product comparison or a customer voice, and add new concepts every Monday.

Don't AI creatives look cheap?

If they run unchecked, yes. We use AI for more variants in testing, and people choose and edit the final creatives to fit your brand. We label content where the law requires it, for example realistic AI depictions of people.

Do you also look after shops in Switzerland?

Yes. Your contact in Zurich is Alexis Streimelweger, on site or by video. Budget and billing can also be in CHF. Entering the Swiss or German market is often part of the plan.

Is Pinterest or TikTok worth it for my shop?

It depends on the product, so we test instead of guessing. At Nordic Spirit, Meta brought reach and volume, and always-on Google Search was the most efficient campaign type. We stop channels that do not pay off and say so in the report.

How do I deal with less tracking data?

With server-side tracking, clean consent and feeding real orders back to Meta and Google. That way the platforms learn from purchases instead of clicks, and shop, Meta and Google count the same orders.
