Thin margins punish
imprecision.
In consumer goods, a two-point shift in acquisition cost is the difference between a profitable quarter and a busy one. The brands that win are not the creative ones. They are the ones where nothing is left approximate.
Volume without margin
is just expensive activity.
Consumer goods catalogues contain enormous margin variance. A nine euro item and a ninety euro item sit in the same campaign, receive the same bid treatment, and contribute completely differently. Spreading budget evenly across a catalogue with uneven economics guarantees that a meaningful share of spend is buying revenue you would rather not have. Tokopeli won Gold at the Peak Awards on a small budget precisely because spend was concentrated where margin actually was.
Pick a symptom. We know the cause.
Sales are up, the P&L is flat.
Products whose unit margins differ sharply share bidding treatment, so a large portion of spend buys low-contribution orders. Revenue rises and contribution does not.
Nothing ever exits the learning phase.
Limited budget spread across many campaigns means none accumulates enough conversion signal to optimise. The account stays permanently in the most expensive phase of its life.
Your biggest weeks are your least controlled.
Seasonal demand spikes are managed reactively, so bids and budgets chase the peak rather than anticipating it, and efficiency collapses exactly when volume is highest.
Order volume grows, average order value does not.
With thin per-unit margins, profitability depends more on basket construction than on order count, but nothing in the funnel is designed to increase items per order.
How we grow consumer goods brands.
The work is unglamorous and it compounds. Small, correct decisions repeated across a large catalogue.
Unit-margin weighting
Spend allocated by contribution per unit rather than by revenue rank, so budget follows profit instead of popularity.
Basket-size growth
Cross-sell and bundling designed into the funnel, because in thin-margin categories basket construction beats order count.
Subscription funnels
Where the product supports it, converting repeat purchase into predictable revenue that raises the acquisition ceiling.
Seasonal peak planning
Bid and budget plans built before the peak, so your highest-volume weeks are also your most controlled.
Consumer goods brands we have scaled.

The right fit
We are built for brands that have found what works and run into the ceiling of it. That are already investing seriously in growth, judge the work by what reaches the P&L rather than what fills a report, and want a partner who will argue with them over one who agrees.
Where is your margin
actually coming from?
Book a strategy call. In consumer goods, the answer is usually a smaller part of the catalogue than anyone expects, and it changes where the budget should go.
