Scaling Revenue 343% in One Year With XLR Media Through Landing Page Optimization

Social media platforms, such as Facebook, have emerged as powerful tools for advertising and customer engagement. However, leveraging these platforms to scale an ecommerce brand from moderate success to high profitability requires more than a rudimentary understanding of social media ads. It demands a strategic approach, a deep understanding of the brand, and the ability to adapt to changing market conditions.

This case study looks at how Replo, Badal Pandey, and XLR Media, a digital marketing agency, successfully scaled an ecommerce brand from $119k/month to $527k/month in just one year through a combination of strategic ad account optimization, creative testing, and the use of Replo's landing page builder for Shopify.

Initial Assessment and Ad Account Optimization

When Badal Pandey and XLR Media first took on the project, he was faced with an ad account that was cluttered with 10-15 active campaigns. The brand was experiencing moderate success, but the potential for growth was being stifled by the lack of organization and strategic focus in the ad account. Recognizing this, Pandey's first step was to streamline the account.

He meticulously reviewed each campaign, turning off non-performing campaigns and ads, and reducing the number to just 4 active campaigns. This optimization was not merely an exercise in decluttering; it was a strategic move aimed at focusing resources on the most promising campaigns. The result was a whopping 20% improvement in performance within the first week, a clear indication of the effectiveness of strategic ad account optimization.

Creative Testing and Optimization

The next phase of Pandey's strategy involved a deep dive into the brand's creatives. He identified that the brand's creatives were a significant lever for improving ad account performance. At the onset, only one creative was driving the majority of sales, and there were no proper processes or standard operating procedures (SOPs) for creating and testing new creatives. This was a significant gap that needed to be addressed.

Pandey implemented a process to consistently test new creatives. He studied past successful creatives and those of competitors to understand what worked for the brand. This research was not a one-off activity; it was a continuous process of learning and adapting. Based on his findings, he built a creative pipeline and began testing 3-4 new creatives each week. This systematic approach to creative testing allowed for continuous learning and improvement. Within the first two months, he found two winning creatives that helped scale the ad account further.

Overcoming Growth Plateaus and Scaling the Brand With Replo

Five months into the strategic overhaul, the brand had already seen significant growth, scaling to $300k/month. Facebook ads were the primary driver of this success, contributing the majority of sales. However, the journey to exponential growth was far from over. The brand encountered a common challenge faced by many ecommerce businesses - the plateau effect. The cost per acquisition (CPA) was high, which prevented further increases in the advertising budget.

Pandey understood that the strategies that had successfully scaled the brand from $100k to $300k/month might not be sufficient to propel the brand from $300k to $1M+/month. This realization marked a pivotal moment in the brand's growth journey. It was clear that to overcome this plateau, a new approach was needed. He shifted his focus to improving the average order value (AOV), refining the brand's offers, and optimizing product bundles. He recognized that while Facebook ads were effective in driving clicks, the actual conversion—the sale of the product—happened on the landing page. This insight led him to explore the potential of landing page optimization, and this is where the tool Replo became instrumental.

AOV increased from $96 to $116, and the conversion rate rose from 0.9% to 1.4%

Leveraging Replo for Landing Page Optimization

Replo, a fast and highly customizable landing page builder, was used to create new, optimized landing pages for the brand. With these new landing pages, Pandey began testing different offers and bundles. He discovered that offers framed in a way that emphasized free elements (for example, "Get A for $129.99 & We’ll include B & free shipping if you order right now.") were more effective. This approach capitalized on the power of perceived value, a psychological principle that significantly influences consumer behavior. Replo provided a quick and highly customizable way for Pandey to create, test, and iterate, so he could efficiently identify what landing page content could translate into the most value for the brand.

After conducting three different tests, Pandey identified a winning offer. This offer, though simple, had a profound effect on the brand's performance. AOV increased from $96 to $116, and the conversion rate rose from 0.9% to 1.4%. The same offer was replicated for the other two winning products, further enhancing the brand's performance.

Scaling An Ecommerce Brand With Replo

The path to scaling the ecommerce brand was not a linear one. It was a journey marked by hundreds of tests, numerous failures, and a significant investment of time. However, the results were well worth the effort. The brand's revenue grew by an impressive 343% in just one year, a testament to how Replo has been able to maximize the impact of XLR Media's CRO strategies.

While the process may seem simple, it is far from easy. It requires a deep understanding of the brand, the target audience, and the digital marketing landscape. It also demands patience, persistence, and a willingness to learn from failures. Tools like Replo enabled Pandey to better leverage leverage the power of strategic offer framing on landing pages, in conjunction with strategic ad account optimization, creative testing, and landing page optimization to scale an ecommerce brand.

Replo is excited to work with more brands and agencies like XLR Media to better iterate on their offers and boost landing page conversion rates.
