A cosmetics brand working in skin and hair care went from a ROAS of 0.8 to 8.0 and ₺1 million in daily revenue in just 6 months with Smartkid's digital strategy. Note: the brand name is withheld under an NDA. Contact Smartkid for detailed data.
A domestic skin and hair care brand came to Smartkid in November 2024. Its product quality was exceptionally strong, yet it was not getting the visibility or the sales performance it deserved in the digital space.
Competition in the market was growing fast; for brands aiming at the luxury segment in particular, offering a quality product was no longer enough. The brand already had an e-commerce setup, but its sales were low and its digital advertising performance was not satisfying. In its Meta (Instagram and Facebook) campaigns, return on ad spend (ROAS) sat at just 0.8 — meaning every 1 TL of ad budget came back as only 0.80 TL.
The brand's goal was ambitious: to claim its rightful place in the luxury cosmetics market and grow its online sales channels aggressively. That is where we stepped in.
Our Strategy: Where Luxury Brand Perception Meets Performance
Our approach to the brand at Smartkid did not stop at performance marketing. We started by rebuilding the brand's digital identity from end to end. For us this was not simply a project to lift sales; it was a journey to build a luxury brand.
The brand story, the visual language, the user experience (UX) and the product positioning were all rebuilt to speak to the target audience. Then we brought our performance-driven marketing strategies into play.
The Main Steps We Took
🛒 Strengthening the E-Commerce Infrastructure
The brand's existing İkas setup was restructured to automate every process and make it user-friendly. The customer journey was shortened and the purchase steps were simplified.
🛍️ Trendyol Store and Ads
The store on Trendyol was professionally optimized. Product descriptions were written with SEO in mind and the imagery was redesigned. On top of that, data-driven, results-focused ad campaigns were launched through Trendyol Ads.
🎥 Social Proof Through UGC Video Content
Working with more than 40 micro and mid-tier influencers, we produced authentic content that reflected the real user experience. These UGC (User Generated Content) videos lifted conversion rates considerably.
📊 Advanced Segmentation in Meta Ads
Facebook and Instagram ads were rebuilt around detailed user segmentation. With retargeting, lookalike audiences and funnel-based campaigns, conversion costs dropped dramatically.
🎨 Brand Identity and Pricing Strategy
To create a premium perception that matched the quality of the products, the visual language was changed completely. Product pages were given a clean, aesthetic look. Pricing was then aligned with the luxury positioning.
The Result: Performance That Peaked in 6 Months
The impact of the work was clearly visible by month 6. ROAS climbed from 0.8 all the way to 8.0 — meaning every 1 TL of ad spend now came back as 8 TL in revenue.
More striking still, the brand's average daily revenue reached 1,000,000 TL. Skin care and hair care products sold out the moment they hit stock, while customer reviews and social media engagement climbed to record levels. The Trendyol store soon appeared in the “Editor's Choice” section and made its way in among the category leaders.
In Short
This turnaround was not the result of digital marketing campaigns alone; it came from the right brand positioning, an aesthetic sensibility and data-based decisions all working together. Smartkid was not merely an agency in this story — we were the strategic partner.
If you too want to turn a high-potential brand into a genuine success story, Smartkid is the right address for you.
