Ecommerce Growth Results

Case Studies · Verified Revenue Results

Real revenue results from real SA businesses.

Not theory. Not vanity metrics. Verified numbers from real ecommerce accounts showing exactly how integrated digital marketing turns South African stores into revenue machines.

About the Results

Results that come from integrated strategy.

We operate as omnichannel growth partners for ecommerce businesses across South Africa. The case studies below show what is possible when paid media, email marketing, customer journey design, and attribution are aligned into a single performance strategy — not run as isolated services.

We share actual revenue figures, not just percentages. Our approach combines conversion-focused web design, Google Ads management, SEO, and automated email marketing into one connected system. Whether you are a startup or an established brand, these results demonstrate what is achievable when every channel works together.

All results shown are based on real client data from verified ecommerce accounts. Timeframes, platforms, and strategies are available on request during consultation.

The Challenge

This South African retailer previously operated a successful direct-to-consumer website but, around 2021, received poor strategic advice and completely deprioritised their own online store.

All digital marketing efforts were stopped, and sales were driven almost exclusively through marketplaces. As a result, their owned ecommerce channel stagnated, margins were compressed, and customer data was underutilised.

Our Solution

Onboarded October 2025. Our first priority was rebuilding the ecommerce website with conversion as the core objective.

  • Rebuilt and optimised the website for ecommerce conversions
  • Launched structured Google Ads and Meta Ads campaigns
  • Implemented advanced email marketing automation
  • Activated daily email campaigns to approximately 100,000 customers
  • Aligned paid media and email marketing to support each other
Key Takeaway

The growth did not come from a single channel. It came from rebuilding ownership of the customer journey, aligning paid media with email marketing, and treating the website as a primary revenue engine. Integrated strategy — not isolated tactics — drove R3.6M in a single month.

Case Study 02

High-End Electronics · Established Brand · South Africa

+R4.1M Dec 2025

The Challenge

This well-established South African electronics brand had been working with a UK-based digital marketing agency since 2022, managing Google Ads, Meta advertising, and email marketing.

When we reviewed the account, we identified clear opportunities to improve efficiency, attribution, and revenue leverage — particularly across Google Ads structure, Meta alignment, and email marketing automation.

Our Solution

Took over November 2025. Our focus was on optimisation and integration rather than reinventing the business.

  • Re-structured Google Ads based on product performance data
  • Aligned Meta Ads with on-site behaviour and purchase intent
  • Migrated email marketing to Omnisend platform
  • Implemented advanced email automations for recovery and retention
  • Improved email deliverability and inbox placement
  • Unified paid media and email strategy into one system
Key Takeaway

This growth was not about starting from scratch. It came from refining what already worked, tightening execution, and fully leveraging email marketing as a revenue channel. R5.4M in additional revenue within 30 days of taking over — by integrating channels that were previously managed in isolation.

FAQ

Common questions about our results.

What South African business owners ask before working with us.

Are these revenue numbers verified, or just marketing copy?

Verified. Every figure on this page is pulled directly from real client ecommerce accounts — Shopify, WooCommerce, Google Ads, and Meta dashboards. We can show you the source data during a strategy call (under NDA where needed).

Client names are kept anonymous because the work is exclusive — we don’t take competing clients in the same industry. The data, however, is not anonymous: it’s real, current, and South African.

Can you guarantee similar results for my business?

Honestly, no — and we wouldn’t trust any agency that does. Results depend on your starting point, products, market, margin structure, and ad budget. The case studies above started from very different places and the strategies were tailored to each.

What we can guarantee is the work: a clear scope, transparent reporting, and execution to a senior standard. The free strategy call gives you a realistic projection based on your specific business.

How long did these results take to achieve?

Case Study 1 (General Retailer) was onboarded in October 2025 and reached R3.6M in November — roughly 30 days from launch. Case Study 2 (Electronics Retailer) was taken over in November 2025 and added R5.4M in the same month.

Quick wins typically show in 2–4 weeks. Deeper structural lifts compound over 60–90 days. Most clients see meaningful revenue impact inside the first month, with bigger results landing in months two and three.

Do you only work with large ecommerce businesses?

No. The case studies above happen to feature larger stores because that’s where the absolute-rand numbers are biggest. But we work with stores at every stage — from R50K/month startups to R20M+/month established brands.

The percentage growth on smaller stores is often even more dramatic because there’s more room to optimise. The methodology is the same: integrated channels, real attribution, focus on revenue.

What does it cost to get results like these?

It depends on the scope. For the case studies above, the clients invested between R20,000 and R45,000 per month in agency fees plus ad spend, and the ROI clearly justified it — in some months by 20:1 or higher.

For smaller ecommerce stores, we typically start at R12,000–R18,000 per month for an integrated package. The free strategy call tells you exactly what your business would need and what to realistically expect in return.

Why do you only show two case studies?

Two reasons. First, we work with a small number of clients at a time — the operator-led model doesn’t scale to dozens of accounts. Second, we only publish case studies where the numbers are big enough and verified enough to be worth showing.

We have more results that aren’t yet published. We can walk you through them on a strategy call — many of them are in industries you might be in, which is why they aren’t public.

What’s the difference between your approach and a regular agency?

Three big things. First, integration: we don’t run paid media, email, and SEO as separate departments — they work as one system. Second, ownership: you work directly with the senior operator, not an account manager. Third, accountability: we report on revenue, not impressions, and we operated a large ecommerce business ourselves before starting the agency.

Most agencies optimise for retention. We optimise for client revenue — because if you’re not growing, you won’t stay.
