The Client: A Premium D2C Gemstone Jewelry Brand Launching E-commerce Operations
Sheen & Thread is a Surat-based D2C fashion brand selling premium ethnic jewellery and statement accessories — jhumkas, chokers, oxidised sets, and bridal jewellery — through their Shopify website and Instagram Shop. Founded in 2019 by a second-generation jewellery family, the brand had mastered product quality and photography but was struggling to scale profitably through paid social.
When HO Digital took over the Meta Ads account in mid-2023, Sheen & Thread was spending ₹2.5 lakh/month on Facebook and Instagram with a disappointing 2.1× ROAS — generating ₹5.25 lakh revenue against ₹2.5 lakh ad spend.
The target was ambitious: reach ₹50 lakh in monthly revenue through Meta Ads at a minimum 5× ROAS. The brand had strong organic content (Reels averaging 200,000+ views) but this wasn't translating into paid ad performance because the creative strategy for ads was identical to organic posts — no direct CTA, no offer, no reason to click and buy now. HO Digital needed to fix the creative strategy first, then the targeting.
D2C E-commerce Bottlenecks: Low Trust, High Cart Abandonment, and Poor ROAS
ROAS of 2.1× against a 5× minimum target — ads were not converting organic-style content into paid sales
Creative strategy was identical to organic posts: lifestyle imagery with no CTA, no price, no offer — treating ad viewers like followers
Targeting set up as a single broad audience — no segmentation between new customer acquisition (cold), warm audiences, and retention
No dynamic product ads (DPA) — the brand's 400+ product catalogue was completely unused in automated retargeting
Repeat purchase rate of only 18% — customers bought once and were not being remarketed to with complementary products
No customer lifetime value (LTV) tracking — budget allocation was based purely on first-purchase ROAS, ignoring repeat buyer value
Advanced Meta Ads Framework: Scaling High-Average Order Value (AOV) Jewelry Conversions
Phase 1 — Creative Overhaul & Funnel Architecture (Month 1)
HO Digital rebuilt the campaign structure around a full funnel: Top-of-Funnel (new customer acquisition), Middle-of-Funnel (warm audience nurturing), and Bottom-of-Funnel (retargeting and retention). The creative strategy was rebuilt from scratch — prospecting ads featured UGC-style videos with women wearing the jewellery and a clear '₹999 Free Delivery' offer hook. Retargeting ads featured product carousels with 'You Left This Behind — ₹X Off Today Only' copy. The brand's Reels content was repurposed with 'Add to Cart' overlays for paid distribution.
Phase 2 — Catalogue Setup & DPA Launch (Month 2)
The complete product catalogue (400+ SKUs) was uploaded to Meta Commerce Manager with correct pricing, availability, and images. Dynamic Product Ads (DPA) were launched targeting users who had viewed products in the last 14 days — with personalised product carousels automatically generated for each viewer. This automated retargeting campaign delivered an immediate 6.8× ROAS without any additional creative work, purely by showing the right product to the right person at the right time.
Phase 3 — LTV Optimisation & Lookalike Scale (Month 3–6)
A customer LTV analysis revealed that repeat buyers (2+ orders) had 4.2× higher LTV than one-time buyers, and that complementary product cross-sell within 30 days of first purchase was the strongest predictor of repeat buying. A post-purchase email and WhatsApp retargeting campaign (run in parallel with Meta) increased repeat purchase rate from 18% to 41%. Lookalike audiences built from the top-LTV customer cohort outperformed interest-based targeting by 3.4× on acquisition ROAS.

Cost Per Purchase: ₹680 → ₹185 (73% reduction)
Repeat Purchase Rate: 18% → 41% (2.3× improvement via retargeting)
DPA Campaign ROAS: 6.8× — highest performing campaign in the account

Jewelry E-commerce Ads Campaign Scale Insights For Brands' Growth
Organic and paid content require completely different creative strategies — organic builds community, paid must trigger an immediate purchase decision
Dynamic Product Ads (DPA) with a well-configured catalogue are the highest-ROAS Meta campaign type for product brands
Customer LTV optimisation is more profitable than acquisition ROAS optimisation — retained customers cost nothing to re-acquire
Full-funnel Meta Ads (TOF/MOF/BOF) consistently outperform single-campaign accounts by 2–3× ROAS
What the Client Said
HO Digital transformed our entire Meta Ads philosophy. We were running ads like we run Instagram — and wondering why they didn't convert. They rebuilt everything: the creative strategy, the funnel, the catalogue setup. We hit ₹50 lakh monthly revenue from Meta within 6 months. The DPA campaigns alone cover our entire ad spend budget every month. — Founder, Sheen & Thread
