Fashion that sells past the first drop.

A new collection gets a week of attention. Then the ads tire and the returns come in. We test creative every week, rank the collection pages people search for, and judge each drop on what stays sold.

The hard part

Why fashion stores stall.

Most fashion brands don’t lack traffic. They lose the margin between the click and the keep.

  1. 01

    Drops that burn out in a week

    A new collection gets its spike, then the same ads run until they stop working. By week three you pay more for less.

    In your numbers

    Cost per order climbs while click-through holds.

  2. 02

    Returns that eat the margin

    Wrong size, wrong colour, not as pictured. A sale that comes back costs more than no sale, and most reports still count it.

    In your numbers

    Revenue grows. Profit after returns doesn’t.

  3. 03

    Collection pages nobody finds

    Shoppers search “linen shirts” or “wide-leg jeans” and land on a marketplace. Thin collection pages leave that search to others.

    In your numbers

    Search traffic lands on the home page, not on collections.

  4. 04

    Customers trained to wait

    Sale after sale teaches people to hold out for the next code. Full-price buyers turn into markdown buyers.

    In your numbers

    A growing share of orders uses a discount code.

The plays

The plays we run in fashion.

Five plays we start with. Each one is a test with a number, read every Monday.

Four to six new ads a week per collection: try-ons, fit notes and styling clips. Each runs on a slice of budget until it has about [50] orders.

Yes. We plan around your own store first, because that’s where you keep the customer and the margin. If you also sell on marketplaces, we keep your ads from bidding against your own listings.
