Why most retail ads don't work
Spending money
isn't a strategy
Most shops try ads once, see a lot of views and no new customers, and decide ads don't work. Usually it's one of these four things.
01
Boosting posts and hoping
A boosted post goes to whoever the platform picks. Without real targeting, you pay for views from people who will never visit your store.
02
Content that isn't built for ads
An ad has about three seconds to stop the scroll. It needs a hook up front, captions for people watching with the sound off, and one clear next step.
03
Getting caught by ad rules
Every platform has strict ad policies, and some industries face extra restrictions. One wrong word or image can get an ad rejected or an account limited, and the budget stalls.
04
Nobody watching the numbers
Without testing and tracking, money keeps flowing to ads that aren't working while the ones that are never get scaled.
How we run your ads
A system,
not a boost button
Step 1
Strategy & targeting
We define the goal, whether that's foot traffic, website visits, delivery orders, or followers, and build an audience around your store's real location and customers.
Step 2
Creative built for ads
We film and edit everything ourselves, so every ad is made to stop the scroll and stay within platform rules. No stock footage and no outside vendors.
Step 3
Launch & test
We launch several versions and let real results show which hook, cut, and message performs best.
Step 4
Optimize & report
Budget moves toward what works. You get clear numbers in plain English: what you spent and what it brought in.
Real campaigns, real numbers
What small budgets
can do
Three recent campaigns, with the ad and the results side by side. Every number below comes straight from the ad dashboards.
Case 01 · Dispo
The neighborhood
destination
An Instagram Reel ad that ran for three days, introducing Dispo to its neighborhood. On a $30 budget it reached more than 1,300 local people and sent 52 of them to the link.

Case 02 · High City
Driving traffic
to the website
High City needed both organic reach and targeted ads. We ran a small, focused campaign that drove traffic to their site at a fraction of typical cost.

Case 03 · Strong Strains
Launching a
delivery service
Strong Strains wanted to promote their new delivery service. One targeted video generated 79 link clicks, and nearly a third of the people who clicked converted.

Why High Growth Media
The benefits of
working with us
Creative and ads under one roof
We film, edit, and run your campaigns. No juggling a videographer and an ad agency, and no creative that wasn't made to sell.
We know retail
We work with retailers and brands across the East Coast every week, so we know what gets people off their phones and through your door.
Built for real budgets
You don't need thousands to start. Dispo's campaign spent under $30 and High City's $40, and both brought measurable traffic.
Numbers you can understand
You see the same results we see: what you spent, who it reached, and what they did next. No vanity metrics dressed up as wins.
Always testing
Every campaign runs more than one version. The winners get more budget and the losers get cut, so results improve over time.
Local and in person
Based in New York and working across the East Coast. We come to your store, film your team and products, and target your neighborhood.
What's included
Everything it
takes to run ads
One team handles the whole campaign, start to finish, so you can stay focused on running your store.
