Apparel & Fashion · PPC

A fashion PPC agency that buys customers net of returns, not vanity ROAS.

You get a fashion PPC agency run by senior paid social media buyers who have managed dozens of apparel and accessories accounts across Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, and Google Shopping. Every campaign is tied to returns-adjusted contribution margin (the number that actually determines if fashion paid acquisition is profitable), not gross first-order ROAS that overstates fashion paid performance by 15 to 35 percent depending on category. Collection drops integrated across paid, lifecycle, and CRO. Creative production tuned to the 7-to-21-day fashion creative fatigue cycle.

What is included in every PPC engagement

Fashion PPC built for apparel economics,
not generic Meta playbooks.

Fashion PPC has structural differences from other DTC verticals: AOV is higher ($80-$200 typical), but returns rates are higher (15-35% vs 5-10% in beauty), creative fatigue cycles are faster (7-21 days vs 21-45 in food), and collection-drop dynamics require coordinated multi-channel campaigns at specific moments. The PPC playbook is tuned for that operational reality, not for evergreen always-on acquisition that ignores the drop calendar.

Meta Reels and Stories (primary)

Meta is the highest-ROAS paid channel for most fashion brands. We run 3 to 5 fresh Reels per hero SKU per month with model-diverse imagery, creator-seeded UGC as primary creative format, and brand-shot lifestyle content as secondary. Every Reel tied to a campaign with budget management at the audience-creative-offer level, not just at the campaign level.

TikTok and TikTok Shop

TikTok works particularly well for younger-demographic fashion (under 35), trend-driven categories (athleisure, streetwear, accessories), and lower-AOV apparel under $80. TikTok Shop integration where applicable, with creator-affiliate program structure for organic-paid hybrid distribution.

Pinterest (outfit research)

Pinterest is meaningfully under-allocated in most fashion paid programs. CPMs 40-60% below Meta for the same audiences, with research-stage intent that produces higher AOV on conversion. Particularly strong for occasion-driven fashion (wedding guest, gala, holiday) and lifestyle apparel.

Google Shopping & brand defense

Performance Max for product feed, brand-search defense, and comparison-query capture.

Creator-UGC creative pipeline

Fashion creative burns out in 7-21 days. Partner studios produce 6-12 creator clips/month with model releases and usage rights cleared.

Returns-adjusted ROAS reporting

Gross ROAS minus returns rate, minus return shipping, minus restocking labor. The real success measure for fashion PPC. The two numbers diverge by 15-35% in fashion.

Common questions

Questions every fashion founder asks before running paid.

Management fees $399-$2,500/month. Ad spend paid directly to platforms, never marked up. Most $1M-$5M brands land at $5k-$15k ads with the $799 Growth tier.
Returns data from Loop or Returnly flows into the reporting layer. Gross ROAS reported alongside returns-adjusted ROAS (gross minus return rate, minus shipping, minus restocking). The two numbers can diverge 20-30% in fashion, and the real one matters.
Yes, on Growth and above. Pinterest is one of the most under-allocated fashion paid channels. CPMs 40-60% below Meta with higher AOV on conversion. Particularly strong for occasion-driven and lifestyle apparel.
Drops are integrated campaigns across paid, lifecycle, and CRO. Pre-drop anticipation flows, drop-day creative push, SMS reminders, post-drop reactivation, inventory-status messaging. Coordination produces 2-3x revenue versus uncoordinated drops.
Creator-seeded UGC dominant for fashion. Partner studios produce 6-12 clips/month with model releases and usage rights. Brief integrated with paid creative roadmap.
First paid-attributed order inside 3 days. ROAS stabilizes by day 21-30. By day 60, most fashion brands hit or exceed their returns-adjusted ROAS target.
Yes, coordinated through partner agency on Scale and Enterprise tiers. Integrated brief means influencer content feeds the paid creative library.
Partially. PMax works as brand defense and complementary Shopping placement. Not as primary channel because it bundles placements into a black box.
Yes. First 7 days are an audit: salvage what works, restructure what does not.
Four things. Fashion PPC built on actual fashion-buyer behavior and returns-adjusted economics. Senior media buyer running the account. Creator-UGC pipeline producing 6-12 clips/month. Flat fees with full ownership and returns-adjusted ROAS reporting. With 65-plus fashion brands behind the playbook.
