Look, here's the deal with e-commerce ad copy right now:
You're burning cash on ads that don't convert.
Your ROAS is tanking.
And every "expert" is telling you to just spend more money.
Sound familiar?
Here's the truth: You don't need a bigger ad budget. You need better ad copy.
The $100K Lesson I Learned About E-commerce Ad Copy
I'll cut straight to it.
Last month, one of our clients was bleeding $30K/month on Facebook ads.
Their ROAS? A measly 1.2.
Their agency's solution? "Increase the budget to reach more people."
Facepalm.
Here's what we did instead:
Studied their top 100 customers
Mapped out their exact language
Rewrote their ads using scientific conversion principles
Split tested 20 variations
Result? ROAS jumped to 3.8 in 45 days.
No extra ad spend. Just smarter copy.
Why Most E-commerce Ad Copy Fails (And How to Fix It)
Here's the no-BS truth about why your ad copy isn't converting:
You're Writing for Everyone
Your ideal customer isn't "women 25-45"
They're "Jessica, 32, who's tired of overpriced skincare that doesn't work"
Get specific or get ignored
You're Selling Features, Not Transformations
Nobody cares about your "patented formula"
They care about "waking up to clear skin for the first time in 10 years"
Sell the after-state, not the ingredients
You're Using Corporate Robot-Speak
"Our revolutionary solution optimizes skin health" vs "Finally, a cream that doesn't make you break out like a teenager"
