Your Lyon ecommerce brand deserves better social ROAS.
58,000 SMBs compete in Lyon. Most waste €2,600/month on social without retargeting strategy or real community. We fix that.
📍 Lyon Market Insight: Lyon's ecommerce ecosystem is dominated by biotech, chemicals, and food producers who treat social media as a broadcast channel, not a conversion engine. Cart abandonment rates run 15–20% higher than national average because retargeting infrastructure is fragmented or non-existent. The Part-Dieu business district houses finance and logistics players who've cracked B2B social, but D2C ecommerce brands remain underinvested in content community. This gap is your competitive edge.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Lyon's ecommerce sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Your Instagram and Facebook posts get likes but no sales. Engagement looks OK, ROAS is invisible.”
Your content is educational or entertaining, not built into a retargeting funnel. You're farming attention, not converting it.
€2,600/month spent on content that feeds the algorithm, not your checkout. True ROAS likely under 1.2:1.
“You're losing 68% of your carts every month. No email or SMS follow-up for abandoners on social.”
Cart abandoners vanish because you have no retargeting pixel chains or lookalike audience strategy on Meta. They see random ads, not 'come back' messaging.
€8,000–€15,000 in lost revenue monthly per €500 in daily ad spend. That's 15–25% of potential monthly revenue.
“You've hired two agencies in 18 months. Both promised 'growth hacking' and 'viral content.' Nothing stuck.”
Agencies optimize for vanity metrics (reach, followers) not for your business outcome: repeat customers and AOV growth. No accountability to actual revenue.
Wasted €15,000+, lost 12 months, and zero repeatable process. Your team doesn't trust social marketing anymore.
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Audit Your Social & Funnel
Week 1–2We map your current social accounts, ad accounts, and customer journey—from awareness to repeat purchase. We identify pixel misconfigurations, audience gaps, and why your retargeting isn't working. Lyon ecommerce brands typically have 3–4 disconnected platforms with no unified data layer.
20-page Social + Ecommerce Funnel Audit report with 12–15 specific, prioritized recommendations
Build Your Content Calendar
Week 2–3We design a 90-day content strategy around your product categories, seasonal Lyon buying patterns, and your brand voice. Content mixes educational (builds trust), entertaining (builds community), and promotional (drives sales) in a 60/25/15 ratio. Every post has a measurable outcome: awareness, consideration, or conversion.

Set Up Retargeting Funnels
Week 3–4We rebuild your Meta and Google pixel infrastructure, configure audience segments (cart abandoners, product viewers, past customers), and create dynamic retargeting campaigns. This is where most Lyon SMBs fail—pixels are broken or audiences are too broad. We get granular.
Fully configured Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads account with 8–12 active retargeting audiences and 3 campaign structures
Launch, Measure & Optimize
Week 4–8We go live with paid campaigns, monitor daily performance, and run A/B tests on creative, copy, and audience targeting. Weekly check-ins ensure we're hitting your ROAS target. After 4 weeks, we shift budget toward winning audiences and pause underperformers.

Build Community & Repeat Revenue
Week 8–12+Once ROAS stabilizes above 2.5:1, we shift focus to building community: user-generated content campaigns, DM nurture sequences, and loyalty loops that drive repeat purchases. Your social channel becomes a genuine business asset, not just an ad channel.

After 12 weeks, your social media channels generate predictable revenue with ROAS 2.8–4.2:1, cart abandonment recovery lifts 25–40%, and you have a repeatable monthly process—not dependent on any single agency or person. You own the strategy and the results.
Lyon Ecommerce Success Stories
A Lyon-based organic skincare brand selling D2C via Shopify, €120k/month revenue, 3-person team.
Running €1,200/month on Instagram and Facebook ads with <1.8:1 ROAS. No retargeting setup; 72% cart abandonment. Founder was burned out managing ads alone.
- →Rebuilt Meta pixel infrastructure and segmented audiences by product affinity (face care vs. body care) and purchase history
- →Created 90-day content calendar mixing 40% educational content (skincare tips, ingredient stories) with 35% UGC and 25% promotional posts
- →Set up 6-stage retargeting funnel: cart abandoners (24h), product viewers (7d), past customers (loyalty/repeat)
“We thought our product was the problem. Turns out we just had no funnel. Within 6 weeks we saw ROAS climb—real money, not vanity metrics. Now social is our second biggest revenue channel after Google. The team knows exactly what to do each week.”
A mid-market Lyon food brand (€600k/year) selling artisanal jams and preserves to French retailers and direct consumers; 8-person team.
Seasonal sales spike in Q4 and Q1 (holidays, gifting). Social media was non-existent; Google Shopping was their only paid channel. Needed to build brand awareness fast and drive DTC sales alongside wholesale.
- →Launched Instagram Reels and TikTok strategy focused on 'behind-the-scenes' content (production, harvesting, family story) to differentiate from competitors; posted 4x weekly
- →Built email + SMS nurture sequence triggered by website engagement (product page views, email signups) to create retargeting loop outside Meta
- →Set up lookalike audiences from best customer segment (female, 35–55, interested in cooking/food) and deployed seasonal Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year campaigns
“Social media felt like a luxury we couldn't afford. Now we realise it's our best acquisition channel for the holiday season. The Reels strategy is working—real customers, not just followers. We're reinvesting profits back into ads because we know what's working.”
