REVENUE ↑ · DISCOUNT VALUE ↓ · TWO COMPARABLE TRADING PERIODS
The ads were producing sales. That alone wasn’t enough. Thin retail margin, frequent discounts, and pressure for even more revenue.
A product could show strong ROAS and still leave almost nothing after the discount and the advertising cost. The logic of growth had to change:
Higher revenue in the second period.
Real completed purchases, not just revenue.
A more productive product mix, greater volume.
Revenue rose while discounts fell by nearly a third.
Meta required significantly less investment.
Less spend — and more purchases.
More return on every euro.
Lower cost per purchase.
Revenue, order, unit and discount changes come from the e-shop’s commercial system. Meta metrics are platform-attributed data. Results are presented anonymously and in percentage form only — no client name, amounts, budgets or creatives.
That is the performance result. The commercial one was bigger: +11.3% revenue with −31.5% discount value.
We didn’t improve the ad account. We improved the way the e-shop generated revenue.
Good ROAS doesn’t mean good business.
We tied decisions to product margin, discount depth, CPA and the commercial contribution of each category. The objective moved from maximize revenue to maximize profitable revenue.
Not every sale needs a discount.
We steered demand toward a healthier commercial base: products with better margin, audiences with stronger purchase intent, less dependence on price.
First a better system. Then a bigger one.
On Meta we cut spend noticeably. At the same time purchases and ROAS rose while CPA fell. Scale isn’t spending more — it’s producing more from what you already spend.
The direction shifted from revenue growth to profitable growth. The sharp drop in discounts, combined with higher revenue and more units sold, produced a clearly stronger estimated gross commercial contribution in the second period.
We don’t only care how much an e-shop sells.
We care what’s left when the sale is over.
