Client Overview
Our client is a direct-to-consumer health supplements brand specializing in natural wellness products. Founded in 2021, they had built a loyal customer base through Instagram and organic content, but were struggling to scale beyond $350,000 in monthly revenue.
With a range of high-quality supplements targeting women's health, they had excellent product-market fit and strong customer retention, but needed to expand their customer acquisition channels to reach their growth targets.
The Challenge
When the client approached us, they were facing several key challenges:
- Plateaued growth on existing marketing channels (Instagram, Google)
- No presence on TikTok despite their target demographic being highly active there
- Limited experience with short-form video content creation
- Concerns about maintaining brand positioning in a new channel
- Uncertainty about how to scale ad spend efficiently on TikTok
The client had ambitious growth targets, aiming to reach $1M+ in monthly revenue within six months. They needed a comprehensive TikTok strategy that could deliver rapid but sustainable growth.
Our Strategy
After analyzing the client's existing marketing performance, target audience, and competitive landscape, we developed a comprehensive TikTok Ads strategy focused on:
1. Content Strategy Development
We created a multi-format content approach:
- Educational content highlighting the science behind their supplements
- Before/after testimonials from real customers
- Day-in-the-life content showing how their products fit into daily routines
- Trend-based content that aligned with their brand values
- Influencer collaborations with health and wellness creators
2. Audience Targeting Strategy
We implemented a sophisticated audience approach:
- Created custom audiences based on website visitors and existing customers
- Developed lookalike audiences at various percentage thresholds
- Implemented interest-based targeting focused on health, wellness, and natural living
- Utilized TikTok's algorithm to find new audience segments through broad targeting
3. Testing Framework
We established a rigorous testing methodology:
- Implemented a content testing matrix to evaluate different hooks, messaging, and CTAs
- Created a structured approach to testing different audience segments
- Developed a clear framework for scaling winning ad creative
- Established KPIs for each stage of the funnel
4. Scaling Strategy
We designed a methodical approach to scaling:
- Implemented a horizontal scaling approach by adding new audience segments
- Used vertical scaling by increasing budget on top-performing ad sets
- Developed a content refresh calendar to prevent creative fatigue
- Created a systematic approach to budget allocation based on ROAS thresholds
Implementation
We executed our strategy in phases over a 6-month period:
Phase 1: Foundation (Month 1)
We set up the TikTok Ads account structure, implemented pixel tracking, and created initial creative concepts. We launched test campaigns with a modest budget to establish baseline performance.
Phase 2: Testing and Optimization (Months 2-3)
We conducted extensive testing of different creative formats, audience segments, and messaging angles. We identified winning combinations and began to scale budget on top performers while continuing to test new concepts.
Phase 3: Scaling (Months 4-6)
Based on the data from our testing phase, we aggressively scaled budget on winning campaigns, expanded to new audience segments, and implemented advanced optimization strategies to maintain efficiency at scale.
