Johannesburg eCommerce Growth
A South African fashion brand went from R280K to R1.4M per month in online revenue. Here's what we did differently.
They had great products and a loyal following on Instagram. But their Shopify store converted at 1.1%. Email revenue was under 8% of total. Google Ads was running on broad match with no audience segmentation. Meta campaigns targeted everyone instead of their actual buyer profiles. Three different agencies managed three different channels and nobody was talking to each other. Revenue was growing — but costs were growing faster.
We took over everything. Rebuilt the ad campaigns around customer LTV data. Created 10 Klaviyo flows targeting specific purchase behaviours. Launched an SEO strategy around "South African fashion" and category-specific keywords. Overhauled the product pages and mobile checkout. Within eight months: R1.4M per month. 4.3x ROAS. Email generating 31% of total revenue. And the growth was still accelerating.
That's what happens when one team owns the entire funnel. GOSH Digital works with Johannesburg eCommerce brands to connect every marketing channel, model strategies from real customer data, and build systems that compound growth month after month.
