8.6x ROAS on High-Ticket Outdoor Products
Fire Pit Surplus sells high-ticket outdoor fire pits where a single sale matters and a wasted click costs real money. The challenge was scaling in a seasonal category without letting efficiency slip.
Fire Pit Surplus
Fire Pit Surplus is a US ecommerce retailer specializing in outdoor fire pits and accessories, with high average order values and strong seasonal demand swings.
High ticket, high seasonality, low margin for error
With few transactions and large order values, the account could not rely on volume-based optimization. Every dollar had to go toward buyers close to a purchase decision.
How we approached the account
Target intent, not traffic
Focused budget on bottom-funnel, purchase-ready queries and excluded research and inspiration traffic.
Work with the season
Adjusted budget and bids ahead of demand curves instead of reacting after the peak had passed.
Protect the margin
Held a strict ROAS floor and grew spend only where profitability was proven at the product level.
