When Ads Outperform Discounts: A Flash Sale Story We recently launched a 12-hour flash sale for one of our brands, from 12 noon to 12 midnight. Our ad creatives and timers went live at 11:50 AM, and we generated ₹8 lacs in the first hour. But here’s the twist: At 2 PM, the developer informed us that a bug had prevented the sale discounts from going live at the scheduled time. The discounts only became active after 2 PM, yet during those two hours, we achieved: • ₹11 lacs in revenue without any discounts live. • 700+ active carts and 58 live checkouts. • Over 1000 orders placed. It made me wonder: Are people really checking the prices? Or do compelling creatives, persuasive messaging, and a sense of urgency (like timers) play a bigger role than discounts themselves? At DigiMaze, we maintain strict policies for flash sales: prepaid orders only, no cancellations, and no returns unless there’s a defect. Yet, the results this time left us questioning traditional buyer behavior. I’ve attached a screenshot of live analytics during the sale for reference. Would love to hear your thoughts on this! #Ecommerce #PerformanceMarketing #DigiMaze #Innovation

X poor product can easily be sold online. But X product will not grow a sustainable business and will affect early the ads side you can generate a high number of purchases at the beginning and all metrics seem good with low CPP but later the X product quality will affect all your business sides, starting from the user's feedback to your ad account performance simply you will go to a higher CPC, CPM Level even if you have other good products they will also be affected by X However,if You have a differentiation in product quality or pricing I prefer to run campaigns with different catalog sets, depending on the price side especially if you have a wide pricing variety:- $25 to $50 $60 to $100 $100 to $250 etc .. That will make your campaigns & ad account go to a different pocket of audiences with previous knowledge about their purchasing behavior, and which ad/catalog set is better for them! #mediabuying #productmarketing #ecommerce

If you're a DTC brand, Stop Losing Money. 3 things I firsthand identify that lose them a shit ton of money: 1. Poorly designed ad creatives - They fail to capture interest and trust - Leading to lower click-through rates and conversions 2. Unclear messaging - Potential customers are left confused about the product or service offering - Resulting in missed sales opportunities 3. Unfriendly website - Lacking upsells, video testimonials, OTOs, and clear refund/return guarantees - These are important for maximising your sales By avoiding these you can turn your struggling e-commerce site into a profitable business. If you want: To increase ad performance → use clear messaging and offerings For better engagement → use storytelling, optimise with upsells, testimonials, and cross-sells To increase conversions → improve messaging to match audience needs Remember Simple succeeds and fancy fails. Apply these strategies, refine your tactics, and watch your e-commerce business actually grow this time. PS: One of our clients recently hit their highest revenue month $120K in 25 days- if you want to see such results - DM ‘Results’ and let’s talk! #dtcbrand #clients

This year, we launched the product check—and for good reason👇 Up to 70–80% of advertising budgets are spent on ads leading to product detail pages. These pages are often reached through very generic search terms that deliver overly specific results. The end result? Many valuable visitors drop off, and the ROAS of most stores is much lower than it could be. Why? Because browsing customers end up on a specific page with little to no support. Here’s the big difference between product finders and product checks: 🔎 Product finders: Effective on category pages (PLPs), where customers ask: “Which product is right for me?” ✅ Product checks: Effective on product pages (PDPs), where customers ask: “Is this product right for me?” A product check provides product specific advice: Not: “These 3 headphones best suit your needs.” But instead: “The headphones you're considering don't quite suit your needs. Check out this alternative!” By featuring a product check on your PDPs, you'll stop wasting ad spend and help browsing customers make the right decision. A no-brainer, right?
