Shama Perfumes.

A GCC fragrance house with an online business that needed to grow up. Full-funnel Meta, UGC creative and a Shopify store that doubled year on year.

The brief

Make the online store the biggest branch.

Shama is an oud and fragrance house with stores across the Gulf and a Shopify store that was under-performing them. The brief was to run the whole digital side: media, creative, offers and the moments that matter in the region, Ramadan, Hajj, Saudi National Day, Oman Women’s Day, and to open new GCC markets without an agency.

What I did
01Rebuilt the Meta account into a clean prospecting, retargeting and loyalty structure with cost caps and target-ROAS campaigns for the hero products.
02Produced 38 UGC videos in-house and with creators: Oud Maa’ttar gift boxes, Royal Rituals sets, the Scent Library, Hajj pouches, in Arabic and English.
03Ran moment campaigns: Ramadan Moments, Saudi National Day, Oman Women’s Day, a Qatar store opening and exhibition awareness, each with its own creative and offer.
04Expanded delivery into KSA, Oman and selected GCC countries with location-based campaigns and country-specific landing pages.
05Tested cold-audience sales campaigns against retargeting monthly and moved budget to whichever returned more, which is why ROAS doubled while spend stayed flat.
06Reported on Shopify revenue, orders and AOV, not platform metrics, and used that to decide the next month’s plan.

What changed
The online store doubled while media spend stayed roughly flat: the gain came from creative and structure, not budget.
Cost per purchase fell by more than half as UGC replaced product shots.
October 2026 alone ran 116% ahead of October 2025 on sales.
