In January 2025 I was brought in to help Shadmart, a Bangladeshi eCommerce store. They were burning cash on Facebook Ads with a 0.9 ROAS. Here's exactly what I did to turn it around.
50 orders/month, ROAS: 0.9
Broken Pixel - purchase events not firing
Zero retargeting campaigns
78% cart abandonment, no recovery
Pixel was misfiring. After proper Pixel + CAPI setup via WooCommerce plugin, Event Match Quality went from 4.2 → 8.1 in 7 days. Now Facebook actually knew who was buying.
3-layer funnel: TOFU (broad targeting for new buyers) → MOFU (retarget 3/7/14-day website visitors) → BOFU (Dynamic Product Ads for cart abandoners).
Mailchimp sequence: Email 1 at 1hr (reminder) → Email 2 at 24hr (social proof + FAQ) → Email 3 at 72hr (10% discount). This alone recovered 18% of abandoned carts.
Tested 12 ad variations across 4 formats. UGC-style testimonial creative outperformed all others by 2.3X.
Orders: 212/month (4X increase)
Facebook ROAS: 3.8
Cart recovery: 18%
Cost per purchase: down 62%
