The goal

Turn ad spend into online orders for a hospitality-supplies store.

The challenge

Two languages, many products and price-sensitive buyers. The budget had to follow the purchases, not the clicks.

What we did

  • Split ad sets by language (Arabic and English) and by offer (items under AED 10).
  • Kept a separate prospecting ad set for new customers.
  • Tracked every purchase and its value on the website, then judged each ad set by its return, not its clicks.

The outcome

128 purchases and AED 299,051 in sales from AED 12,577, a 23.8× return. The English ad set alone returned 57.46×.
