Crossed the first 2L/day ever for this brand, it's always a good feeling
For a brand that launched just 5 months ago, this is a🤌🏻

-> Started with just 2 products, and avoided pushing all products to ads. First build learning in two then expand this is way faster

Just curious?
"Why do you think Zudio doesn't look cheap", a lot of people have said the same, what have they done differently from others?
Is it the setting, location, lighting, designs...?

Reminds of recent clip of Tobi (Shopify founder) how he met an investor (who did not invest in Shopify when pitched) and Tobi said that most investors were judging scale of TAM assuming demand will not change
They were wrong, the reason demand was low was because supply was bad

Exclude the Order from GA4:
Event Filtering:
If you've set up events for purchases, filter out events associated with the fake order's order ID or user ID.
Use GA4's filtering capabilities to exclude events based on specific parameters.

If worst case 2nd ad account you start, avoid using the same payment method
And for setup just export ads from 1st account, delete Campaign ID, Ad ID and Ad set ID column and import in the new account
Within a couple of minutes your ads should be up and running

Depends on use cases
If you need more of heavy duty grinding, large quantity etc, Sujata is better. Most juice guys and restaurant kitchens use Sujata
If you want coarse texture, chopping, hands free jars, easy to clean etc, Atomberg is better
At the end of every report we have started adding short pointer annotations of big events in the month
This helps brand document and answer the dreaded question 6 months later

Funny right, we say India a third world country and then go on to compare to a 1st world
Like shouldn't it be apples to apples
It is also true
For the progress we should have had by now, we are lagging very behind
In "Targeting" be Broad
In Creative be Specific
Specificity creates relevance and relevance contributes to trust
While being specific, don't focus on demographics focus on psychographic
Instead of speaking to working women, aged 35 and above
Speak to people with "X" pain
Create content that reminds someone of a specific individual.
Broad content doesn't get shared as much as content that's obviously SPECIFIC to someone.
Now, share this with someone who needs it. ;)

How about we create a shared sheet and keep adding inspiration for all to use, different niche-wise with appropriate filters
One downfall, everyone is taking up from same inspiration but that can be

Some things proven to work (most times) in lifestyle
- A hook of lower back
- Show them side angle for longer
- Change background on same product
- For tops show the waist part and for bottoms show the ankle part fit
Many podcasts have discussed this, the biggest reason is celeb not going all in and treating it as launch and forget

But why have celebrity brands not worked generally.
Except HrX and to an extent being human no other has worked.
Even Beast burger failed.
What is the secret sauce to make it successful?
This is often neglected
Good camera, lighting and audio are three pillars creates a perception of brand
Often, this ad is the first interaction of consumer with brand, it's your first salesman and you want them to present themselves in best possible way
The same content can
Pay top dollar for good lighting n audio, this can make or brk ur ad along with script. Hire professional editors who have knowledge of FB n Google ad metrics. Try to incorporate fast cuts every 3-4 secs if possible.
Social proof can kill sales when marketing luxury or super-premium products.
These audiences don't want to own products that others already have, they seek unique, exclusive selections—not items everyone else already owns.
Social proof undermines this exclusivity.

So, implying action bias and not to be bogged down if sometimes you end up in wrong direction and spend long hours only to realize there was nothing fruitful?
Just now realized crossed over 1 Crore in sales for this brand in just 5 months of launch
We have been working with them since launch in March 2024, scaling at over 5+ ROAS
It also broke big myth of running Facebook ads, you cannot sell a high-value product via ads,
Most products sold by ecommerce biz in India are mediocre, most made in same factories
To build community in India, there are 3 factors to nail down
1/ Price of products
2/ Consistent quality
3/ Aspiration (most brands miss this)
Only a handful of brands are able to balance

First hand experience where an account doing well in Jan 2023, perf has been declining now
The reason distribution of budget went away from Reels and younger age group (18 to 34) demographic and moved to feed and 35 to 54 age group
Looking at breakdowns it helps

Launched multiple lines of business and scaling well, will also be launching a smart watch brand next month (that's a big leap)
Just 2 weeks from now, a series of festivals will begin, so here is an insight that might help you create better offers
During once in a year movement, like Rakshabandhan, Diwali where festivals have heavy gifting, the gift-giver splurges and aren’t looking for anything cheap
Q-com's model has limited inventory
They are incentivised to keep minimum inventory, that actually sells so they only filter the best of brands which have proven worth of selling
They aren't for that 5% edge case where a customer needs a specific top 11th brand, for them all
There is a new narrative that new age brands can build big on qcom.
Its the half truth
It is extremely difficult for new insurgent brands to get into qcom, it is far easier for them to get into Modern trade or general trade.U
After you find a winner ad, here are all the ways you can iterate
- Hook
- Background music
- Color scaling to black and white...
- Voiceover
- Text overlays
- Sound in the hook frame
- Length
- Language
- Call to Action
- Product shot
- Headline in the hook
- Subtitles/Closed
This kind has started happening in USA
Small creators with good following of seemingly small niches launching their brands
The best part is their audience are also passionate about the category
Content will drive distribution for product now
This ⬇️
When hiring an agency, look for categories of the case study also
There have been many case studies on apparel, fashion, and jewellery with multi-8-figure revenue, which is good but relatively easier
Scaling a skin-care brand from 10 orders/day to 100 orders/day
DTC founders, look at scaling numbers in context. If your performance marketing partner managed to scale food brand to 40-50 lacs MRR, that’s like scaling fashion brand to 1.2 Cr MRR. If they managed to do so profitably (scaling food brand), that’s legit unheard of post 2022.
This is how most ad accounts look—2 or 3 top ads soak up most of the spend, while the others get minimal attention.
Unless the other ads aren’t hitting breakeven, I wouldn’t rush to turn them off.
These under-spending ads may still be contributing to the overall funnel,
April to July is a struggle for many e-commerce brands, as there are no big festivals
The performance falters most during this period and when it does
This RAPID framework is what we keep coming back to
R -> Reduce budgets
Reduce budgets on campaigns/adsets which you hoped
Nobody purchased a product because of a good hook, but always a good message
If performance is devastatingly bad, then don't change hook, change messaging in ads
Take bigger swings
Anybody who is advising you on video ads, and his top 3 talking points are about "length of video"
Be very very very cautious on their advice
There is no "golden length"
Short ads fail
Even long ads fail
Super well explained
A lot of brands in their performance marketing dwell a lot of time on explaining category 1 to consumers
To develop stand-out creatives
If you are using category 2
Explain how the same feature (or design) you get with every other product, works/looks
There are 3 categories of features/attributes in every type of product/service
Category 1: Attributes which are table stakes. Not having them will create huge dissatisfaction. Having them won’t lead to extra customer satisfaction
Eg: If you go a restaurant and have stale

Yep it was good, and in the middle you revealed something super valuable
That you target via what emotion to elicit and then ask GPT to give you ideas
That's superb
Alignment between attribution and optimization is here!
All throughout the attribution wars i was screaming that you CANT disassociate optimization and measurement. Otherwise you will be chasing your tale.
Well it looks like that might finally be resolved.
The more steps customer has to walk the less likely they understand the creative
You cannot just talk about the desire of people in ads
It's not about features and benefits
You should say about one feature that is a bridge to their desire
For a person looking for a footwear
In 2 weeks every brand will flood its ads with offers, here's how to make your ads stand out and be profitable on every order
4 Criterias that make an offer successful
1/ Unit margin
Whether it is a 10% discount or a free product offer, calculate the margin left after variables
In retention channels like WhatsApp and emails, engagement of a customer is more important than direct sales
Engagement has longer term positive impacts
Started this during my college days, now it has become a routine
Read a scientific paper also somewhere that it is good
Also, just after finishing the food, don't get up instead two minutes wait and then standup, it's always good
It's been a while since I adopted this new norm for myself , wherein I walk for 15 minutes after my meal (Breakfast , Lunch , or dinner) and it feel so good after doing this.
I used to feel bloated, but with each passing day, I feel more lean, even after my meal and light.
1/ For a lead generation we are still ramping up to improve lead quality
2/ In a hair care brand, though the revenue and ROAS improved by 5% and 12% respectively we missed our targets on the actual improvements required
Inches away from hitting the first 2L/day mark for this brand
We have already surpassed the monthly targets
Hopefully, we hit a new record on daily revenue before month-end
