Frequently Asked Questions

Our Instagram looks great but we're not seeing sales—what's wrong?+
Aesthetics and sales performance are separate problems. Most retail brands optimise for follower engagement but never build a clear path from discovery to purchase. We audit the full funnel: content strategy, call-to-action placement, landing page alignment, and retargeting. In most cases, the fix is 30% content and 70% targeting and conversion architecture.
How do we compete with big retail chains on social?+
Authenticity, locality, and speed. Large chains are slow, generic, and can't speak to a specific neighbourhood. You can. We build content that leverages your local identity, product expertise, and community relationships—advantages no national brand can replicate at scale.
What social platforms should a retail business focus on?+
It depends on your customer profile. Under-35 buyers are predominantly on TikTok and Instagram. 35–55 are split across Instagram and Facebook. We map your actual customer data to the right platform mix, so you're not spreading thin across every channel.
How quickly can we see results from a social media campaign?+
Paid campaigns can show ROAS signals within 2–4 weeks. Organic content builds sustainable reach over 3–6 months. We recommend a blended strategy: immediate paid activation while organic compound effects build in parallel.
