    Breaking a $50K/Month Plateau to $488K in 60 Days

    Muir Way had a strong product and a loyal customer base, but revenue had been stuck around $50K per month for a long time. Every attempt to scale spend pushed ROAS below break-even.

    THE CLIENT

    Muir Way

    Muir Way sells relief maps, 3D maps, and topographic map art to homeowners, outdoor enthusiasts, and gift buyers. The brand had product-market fit but no scalable acquisition system.

    THE CHALLENGE

    A hard ceiling at $50K per month

    Spend increases were going straight into the same saturated audiences. Without upper-funnel demand and a proper campaign hierarchy, every extra dollar bought a more expensive version of the same customer.

    Revenue plateau at roughly $50K per month
    ROAS collapsed whenever spend increased
    Audience reach limited to existing buyers
    Seasonal demand swings in wall art and gifting
    Growing competition in decor and gift categories
    No structured creative or offer testing
    OUR STRATEGY

    How we approached the account

    01

    Build the full funnel

    Separated prospecting, consideration, and retargeting so each stage had its own budget, target, and creative set.

    02

    Expand demand, not just bids

    Opened new audience segments and product-theme campaigns to reach buyers the account had never touched.

    03

    Scale on data, not hope

    Increased budget only where incremental ROAS held, using a weekly scale-or-cut rule per campaign.

    WHAT WE DID

    The work behind the numbers

    Campaign Architecture

    • Prospecting, consideration, and retargeting split
    • Product-theme based Shopping segmentation
    • Best sellers isolated with their own budgets
    • Brand and non-brand traffic separated

    Audience Expansion

    • Custom intent segments for outdoor and decor buyers
    • Lookalike and customer-match audiences
    • Gift-occasion targeting layered in
    • Cold audience testing budget ring-fenced

    Feed & Shopping Optimization

    • Product titles rewritten for search intent
    • Feed attributes and product types cleaned
    • High-margin products prioritized
    • Low performers deprioritized, not deleted

    Creative & Offer Testing

    • Rotating asset tests across top campaigns
    • Seasonal and gifting angles tested
    • Landing page alignment per campaign theme
    • Winners scaled, losers cut weekly

    Bidding Strategy

    • Tiered target ROAS by campaign stage
    • Gradual budget increases to avoid learning resets
    • Dayparting and geo adjustments
    • Continuous bid signal monitoring

    Measurement

    • Conversion value tracking verified end to end
    • New vs returning customer reporting
    • Blended ROAS monitored alongside platform ROAS
    • Weekly scale-or-cut decision framework
    THE RESULT

    $488K in tracked revenue in 60 days at 3.92x ROAS

    KEY LESSONS

    What other brands can take from this

    01

    Plateaus are structural, not budgetary

    Adding spend to a flat structure just raises CPA. New revenue needed new campaign layers and new audiences.

    02

    Feed quality drives Shopping performance

    Rewriting titles for real search intent unlocked impressions the account was never eligible for.

    03

    Scale in steps

    Gradual budget increases avoided repeated learning phases that would have reset performance.

    04

    Track new customers separately

    Blended ROAS hid the fact that growth was coming from returning buyers. Splitting it changed the strategy.
