Trading revenue growth for margin the brand could keep

Rebuilt measurement around contribution margin per order, then reallocated spend away from the campaigns that only looked profitable.

The problem

Where it started

Platform dashboards reported a healthy return on ad spend while the bank balance said otherwise. Fulfilment, discounting and returns were never included in the campaign numbers.

What we did

  • Built a single reconciled view of store, ad platform and email data.
  • Added fulfilment, payment and return costs to campaign reporting to expose true contribution.
  • Cut the campaigns that were unprofitable once real costs were included, and reinvested in retention flows.
  • Automated the weekly report so the team sees margin, not just revenue.

What changed

Spend decisions are now made on contribution margin, and the retention programme carries a growing share of revenue.
