01 · The Situation

A premium brand in a marketplace-dominated category.

Sandhya Shah is a premium lifestyle brand competing in a category dominated by large marketplace players, Myntra, Nykaa, Flipkart. The challenge was driving qualified, high-intent traffic on a controlled $1.2Kbudget, not bounce-rate traffic from broad targeting.

02 · The Strategy

Optimise for session quality. Not click volume.

I deployed a Google Shopping architecture specifically structured to capture high-intent search traffic for premium lifestyle products. Rather than optimising for click volume, I optimised for session quality, targeting users further into the purchase consideration cycle who were already interested in the premium fashion category.

03 · The Execution

Precision feed. Negative keywords. Quality bidding.

Google Shopping campaigns with precise product feed optimisation, negative keyword architecture to exclude low-intent traffic, and bid strategies calibrated for session quality over session volume. Result: 67% impression share, outranking billion-dollar competitors in the paid auction on a $1.2K budget.

04 · The Results

67% impression share. #2 auction rank above Myntra & Nykaa.

05 · Key Insights

The strategic takeaways.

01

What I learned

Impression share against large marketplace competitors is a meaningful signal in premium D2C. Winning 67% of the auction above Myntra on a $1.2K budget proved that precise targeting beats budget size in Google Shopping.

02

What surprised me

The 222 payment-initiators are the most valuable output of this campaign. These are pre-qualified buyers who reached the payment screen and didn't complete. A single retargeting push converts these at a fraction of the original acquisition cost.

03

What I'd do differently

Build the retargeting campaign in parallel from week one, not as a second phase. The payment-initiators who dropped off in weeks 1 and 2 could not be captured as effectively by week 3.

Note on revenue: This campaign was a phase 1 traffic and audience-building exercise. Revenue conversion data from the retargeting phase will be updated when available.
