Hey there!
Imagine taking an e-commerce brand from nothing — no product, no audience, no website — to a thriving online business in the competitive beauty market.
That’s the story of Lurixify.com, and here’s how we made it happen.
The Challenge
Our goal was clear: build a unique brand that stands out in the beauty niche.
But with a limited marketing budget, every decision had to deliver results.
From selecting the perfect product to creating a compelling digital presence, the stakes were high.
The Process
Here’s how we achieved success:
Product Discovery: We researched dozens of options before selecting a product with strong “wow effect” potential.
Strategic Ads: Launched Meta Ads campaigns targeting multiple audiences using storytelling, product showcases, and user reviews.
High-Impact Content: Designed theLuminaGlow landing page, packed with engaging visuals and copy that resonated with our target audience’s desires.
Pivot to Organic Growth: When budget constraints challenged us, we shifted focus to organic social media strategies, achieving a 145% weekly growth rate in followers and engagement.
Results
The numbers tell the story:
Conversion Rate: Achieved a 4.12% conversion rate from website clicks to purchases.
Ad Performance: Maintained an average $3.20 cost per click on Meta Ads, a strong benchmark in the U.S. beauty market.
Bundling Success: Increased sales by 50% through bundling campaigns on the website.
Social Media Growth: Grew our social media presence by 145% weekly, laying the groundwork for long-term brand success.
