If You’re Scaling a Kids’ Watch Brand with Meta & Google Ads, Read This Before Chasing ROAS
Cartoon and 4G/GPS smartwatches
Spiky is India’s leading kids’ watch brand, offering a wide range of analogue watches and 4G/GPS-enabled smartwatches designed specifically for children. Known for its fun, vibrant designs, cartoon themes, light-up features, and built-in safety functionality, Spiky has built strong brand recall in the offline market.
Despite being India’s No. 1 kids’ analogue watch brand offline, Spiky struggled to crack sustainable online growth.
Key challenges included:
No structured e-commerce growth strategy at launch
Unrealistic ROAS expectations leading to two discontinued scaling attempts
Revenue decline after switching agencies:
₹40 lakhs/month → under ₹15 lakhs/month
Eventually falling to ₹3 lakhs/month at 3x ROAS
Over-optimization for ROAS instead of long-term customer acquisition
Lack of full-funnel visibility across Meta Ads, Google Ads, and the Shopify store
Spiky needed more than ads—they needed a reset in strategy, expectations, and execution.
Our approach
Growthify approached Spiky’s growth as a full-funnel e-commerce problem, not a media-buying task. Our strategy focused on three core pillars:
01
Full-Funnel Performance Marketing
Meta Ads for demand generation, audience testing, and creative consistency
Google Ads across Search, Shopping, and Performance Max to capture high-intent and discovery traffic
Clear separation between scaling campaigns and testing campaigns
02
Sustainable Growth Framework (Not ROAS Chasing)
Reset expectations around what “healthy ROAS” looks like at scale
Prioritized revenue consistency, CAC stability, and repeat purchases
Avoided short-term hacks that inflate numbers but kill long-term growth
03
Shopify CRO & E-commerce Optimization
Optimized product pages for clarity, trust, and conversions
Reduced cart abandonment through checkout improvements
Ensured a frictionless buying experience for parents purchasing kids’ watches
This approach ensured that traffic, conversion rate, and profitability improved together, instead of fighting each other.
