The Challenge

The brand faced three core challenges:

Competing in a Saturated Kids Fashion Market
The kids clothing niche in the US is highly competitive, with large retailers and boutique brands bidding aggressively on search and shopping placements. Standing out without inflating CPCs was a key challenge.

Scaling Revenue Without Sacrificing ROAS
The brand wanted to scale beyond steady sales and push revenue growth, but without sacrificing profitability. Previous campaigns struggled to maintain efficiency as spend increased.

Managing Seasonal Demand Fluctuations
Kids fashion sales spike around specific moments (weddings, holidays, photoshoots). Capturing high-intent buyers during peak periods while controlling spend during slow phases required careful budget and bid control.

Strategy & Execution

A Three-Pillar Approach to Sustainable Growth

Search Campaigns
Targeted high-intent keywords such as occasion-based dresses, boutique kids clothing, and branded searches to capture ready-to-buy users.

Smart Shopping & Performance Max
Leveraged Google’s machine learning to maximize product visibility across Search, Shopping, Display, YouTube, and Gmail, focusing on top-performing SKUs and high-margin products.

Creative-Led Video & Display Ads
Showcased the brand’s unique boho couture designs to build awareness and re-engage warm audiences who had previously interacted with the site.

Budget Allocation by Performance
Spend was continuously shifted toward campaigns, products, and audiences delivering the strongest ROAS, ensuring efficiency at
scale.
