How Ahmed's Fashion Brand Increased Profit by 31% in 90 Days

Lahore, Pakistan • 2,000+ orders/month

+31%

Profit Increase

The Challenge

Ahmed's fashion brand was processing 2,000+ COD orders monthly but profitability was unpredictable. They were managing profit tracking in Excel, manually copying data from Shopify, Facebook Ads, and courier dashboards. They had no visibility into returned order charges, which were eating 25% of their revenue.

  • City-Wise Analysis:

    Found that Multan had 68% return rate vs 25% in Lahore

2x

The Challenge

Priya's beauty brand was scaling rapidly—3,500 orders monthly—but profit margins were mysteriously low. Despite high revenue, cash flow was tight. They had no idea that specific cities had 55%+ return rates, making them completely unprofitable.

  • • Delhi: 52% return rate
  • • Cost: ₹180 per returned order
  • • Total loss: ₹4.2L monthly

Profitable Cities

  • • Bangalore: 18% return rate
  • • Pune: 22% return rate
  • • Hyderabad: 25% return rate
  • • Strong profit margins

Post-Delivery ROAS: The Metric That Changed Everything

Dubai, UAE • 1,800+ orders/month

+45%

Profit Growth

The Challenge

Mohammed's electronics store had impressive Facebook Ads metrics—3.2x purchase ROAS. But actual cash in the bank didn't match. The problem? 60% of placed orders never delivered. His real ROAS was 1.2x, not 3.2x.

The Revelation

Purchase ROAS (Misleading)

3.2x

Based on placed orders

  • • Including failed deliveries
  • • Including returns
  • • Vanity metric

Post-Delivery ROAS (Reality)

1.2x

Based on actual cash received

  • • Only delivered orders
  • • Minus all return costs
  • • True profitability

Optimization Strategy

Week 1-2: Analysis

Analyzed which ad campaigns, audiences, and products had highest delivery rates vs which generated most orders.

Week 3-4: Campaign Restructure

Paused campaigns with <40% delivery rate. Increased budget 200% on campaigns with >70% delivery rate.

Week 5-8: Product Optimization

Identified that AirPods had 85% delivery rate vs phone accessories at 35%. Shifted focus accordingly.

Ad Waste

"

"Post-delivery ROAS completely changed how we buy ads. We thought 3.2x ROAS was great, but only 40% of orders delivered. Real ROAS was 1.2x. Now we optimize for actual cash received, not placed orders. Profit is up 45% with same ad budget."
