Client Overview

Client: Furqanwear
Industry: Islamic Lifestyle / Modest Fashion
Location: Canada
Business Model: E-commerce

Furqanwear is an Islamic lifestyle brand with a mission larger than commerce.

The company aims to build a meaningful presence in the Muslim community by offering products that represent identity, faith, and culture, including thobes. As a result, the team became more cautious with marketing spend and paused aggressive growth activity.

Beyond apparel, the brand also operates a productivity app designed to help Muslims live more organized and intentional lives.

With a clear vision and a strong product line in place, the next step was building a more structured digital growth system.

For several months, the brand’s digital growth channels had not been actively scaled.

The Challenge: Turning Brand Potential Into Scalable Growth

When the founders approached us, the goal was clear: build a more structured, performance-led growth system before Ramadan.
The brand had previously tested marketing campaigns before Ramadan, but the results had not reached the level of consistency, return, or traction the team wanted.
As a result, the team became more cautious with marketing spend and paused aggressive growth activity
By the time we stepped in:

● The brand had limited active digital acquisition at the time
● Ad accounts and pixels required fresh data and reactivation
● Recent social engagement was limited
● Email systems needed deeper lifecycle strategy
● Website speed and conversion performance had room for improvement
● Recent online sales volume was very low

Revenue baseline before scaling

● Month prior to our involvement: CA$167
● Month before that: CA$154

The founders wanted this Ramadan campaign to be a serious growth push before deciding the next stage of the brand.
Their objectives were clear:

1. Clear existing inventory
2. Generate immediate revenue
3. Build brand awareness
4. Grow an email list
5. Re-establish momentum before Ramadan

Strategic Diagnosis

Before launching campaigns, we conducted a full audit across the brand’s traffic infrastructure, website performance, advertising assets, and marketing stack.
The core issue was not simply a lack of advertising.
The biggest opportunity was building a connected growth ecosystem across traffic, conversion, and retention.
Three key improvement areas stood out:

1. Inactive Data Infrastructure

The Meta Pixel and ad account had not collected useful signals for months.
Without data, Meta’s optimization engine cannot perform.

2. Conversion Foundation Needed Optimisation

Initial paid traffic showed high interest but poor conversion, indicating website performance issues.

3. Lifecycle Marketing Needed Expansion

The brand had the opportunity to build a stronger email marketing system capable of recovering abandoned carts and nurturing leads.

Our Strategy

Given Ramadan’s significance as the peak purchasing period in the Muslim market, timing was critical.
We designed a three-stage growth framework:

Stage 1: Rebuild Algorithmic Trust

Run awareness campaigns to reactivate the pixel and warm up audiences.

Stage 2: Aggressive Conversion Testing

Launch multiple sales campaigns with diverse creative formats to identify winning structures.

Stage 3: Scale with Seasonal Momentum

Deploy Ramadan and Eid collection campaigns once the algorithm stabilizes.

Simultaneously, we worked on conversion infrastructure including website
speed and email flows.

Phase 1:

Reactivating the Meta Algorithm

Because the account needed fresh data and recent engagement signals, launching conversion campaigns immediately would have been less efficient.
Instead, we began with a 15-day awareness campaign.

● Warm up the pixel
● Generate engagement signals
● Identify strong creatives
● Prepare the account for conversion optimization

Campaign Structure

● 7–8 high-quality creatives
● Primarily short-form reels
● Strong hooks with subtle product placement
● Story-driven visuals aligned with the brand’s identity

This creative mix also aligned well with Meta’s Andromeda-driven creative distribution system, which favors diverse creative testing.

Results of Awareness Phase

With a budget of approximately CA$250, the campaign produced:

● 50,000+ impressions
● Significant engagement signals
● Pixel reactivation
● Clear creative performance insights

Most importantly, this stage allowed us to identify winning creatives before moving into conversion campaigns.

Phase 2:

Conversion Campaign Testing

A few days before Ramadan, we launched our first web sales campaigns.

Campaign Structure

Campaign A

  • Instant experiences
  • Carousel creatives

Campaign B

  • Single images
  • Video creatives

Target Markets

  • United States
  • Canada

Initial Budgets

  • $150/day per campaign
Each campaign contained 7–10 creatives, allowing the algorithm to test multiple combinations.

Early Insights and Rapid Optimization

Within days, patterns became clear.
Campaign A (Instant Experience + Carousel) underperformed significantly.
After spending approximately $1,671, the campaign generated around 20 orders, but the efficiency was lower than expected.
We shut down the campaign to redirect resources toward stronger performing structures.
Campaign B, using single images and videos, performed substantially better and became the primary scaling vehicle.

Phase 3:

Strategic Segmentation & Scaling

After identifying high-performing creative structures, we expanded into new campaign layers.

Small Ticket Campaign

A separate campaign targeting lower-priced products was launched with a modest budget of $65/day.
This campaign served two purposes:

● Drive inexpensive traffic
● Create cross-selling opportunities

It quickly proved highly effective.

Eid Collection Campaigns

To maximize seasonal demand, we launched two dedicated campaigns for the exclusive Eid collection.
Separate campaigns allowed us to adapt budgets and strategies for each market.

Budget Allocation

Canada Campaign: $250/day
United States Campaign: $300/day
Initially, performance looked inefficient.Initially, performance was inefficient. During the first two days, cost per purchase was almost CA$300.
For the first two days, cost per purchase was almost $300

Many advertisers panic at this stage.
However, early volatility is common in new campaigns while Meta gathers signals.
We stayed disciplined and allowed the algorithm to stabilize.
Within days, performance dramatically improved.

Final Performance

Cost per purchase dropped significantly and stabilised around $20, and orders began flowing consistently.

Revenue Impact

Within 40 days, the brand experienced a dramatic transformation.
  • Revenue Generated - CA$60,000+

Comparison:

Baseline period:

  • Dec1 - Dec31: CA$167
  • Nov1-Nov30: CA$142

During campaign period:

  • Feb4 - Feb28: ~$15,000
  • First 12 days of March: $28,000+

And By the end of the 40-day campaign period, the brand had generated more than CA$60,000 in revenue. Projected outcome by the end of Ramadan is expected to approach $70,000 in total revenue.

Website Performance Optimization

As traffic increased, conversion bottlenecks became visible. Initial analytics revealed a major issue.

Largest Contentful Paint

Mobile loading speed exceeded 9 seconds.
This significantly reduced conversion potential.
Because campaigns were already running, we avoided making risky theme-level code changes.
Instead, we implemented targeted optimizations:

● Disabled unnecessary scripts
● Implemented lazy loading
● Optimized code snippets
● Reduced render-blocking resources

Result

Average loading time dropped to approximately 1 second.
We also improved desktop performance and optimized foundational SEO elements across the site.
These improvements removed a significant conversion bottleneck as paid traffic increased.

Email & SMS Revenue System (Klaviyo)

Before our involvement, Klaviyo had a basic foundation in place.
“Instant experiences”
With:
“CA$60,000+ generated in 40 days.” Under Paid Advertising, replace:
“Multiple profitable campaigns with Cost per purchase stabilised at approximately CA$20 after the campaign learning phase”
With:
“Cost per purchase stabilised around $20 after the campaign learning phase.”

The setup included:

● One signup form
● A welcome flow
● An abandoned checkout flow

The existing setup had room for stronger revenue performance.
We expanded and optimised the lifecycle system for stronger revenue recovery.

New Flows Implemented

● Welcome Flow
● Abandoned Cart Flow
● Browse Abandonment
● Post-Purchase Flow
● Customer Winback Flow

Results in 30 Days

Revenue from flows: $4,500+ The Abandoned Cart Flow became particularly effective at recovering traffic generated from Meta ads.

Email List Growth

When we started:

● Email subscribers: 161

After optimization of the signup system and popup forms:

● 1,250+ subscribers within one month

We also recently began running email campaigns.

● $400 in revenue
● 4 direct sales

Total Performance Snapshot

Revenue

  • Instant experiences

Advertising Impact

  • Multiple profitable campaigns with sub-$10 cost per purchase during peak performance.

Email Marketing

  • $4,500 generated from automated flows

Audience Growth

  • Email list increased 7.7× in one month.

Website Performance

  • Loading speed reduced from 9 seconds to ~1 second.

Key Strategic Insights

Several important lessons emerged from this campaign.

1. Warming Up Inactive Ad Accounts Matters

Jumping directly into conversion campaigns with a cold pixel often leads to wasted spend.

2. Creative Diversity Fuels Meta’s Algorithm

Testing multiple creatives allows Meta’s distribution system to find winning combinations faster.

3. Early Campaign Volatility is Normal

Short-term inefficiency does not always indicate failure.
Patience during the learning phase can unlock strong performance later.

4. Website Speed is a Hidden Revenue Multiplier

Reducing load times dramatically improves conversion rates.

5. Lifecycle Marketing is Essential

Paid traffic without email recovery leaves significant revenue on the table.

Final Outcome

Starting from a low-revenue month of CA$167 after a quieter digital growth period, the brand grew into a rapidly scaling e-commerce business generating tens of thousands of dollars during Ramadan.

More importantly, the brand now has:

● A functioning advertising system
● A growing email list
● Improved website infrastructure
● Momentum heading into future campaigns

And the journey is far from finished.
