CCDS Shop is a consumer brand specializing in bakeware and cake-decorating tools, catering to home bakers, hobbyists, and small professional kitchens. Operating primarily through online marketplaces, CCDS built a loyal customer base by offering functional, value-driven products in a highly competitive category. At the time of partnering with Growthify, CCDS was profitable but operating at a relatively small scale, with growth constrained by rising acquisition costs and limited room to experiment without risking margins.

CCDS wasn’t failing—but it was stuck.

Key challenges included:

Monthly revenue under ₹5 lakhs

High relative advertising costs impacting scalability

ACOS hovering around 40%

Limited headroom to grow without hurting profitability

Need to increase volume while maintaining cost discipline

Our approach

Growthify approached CCDS with a performance-first, efficiency-led marketplace strategy.

01 Cost Leakage Identification

Audited existing marketplace campaigns
Identified inefficiencies in bidding, targeting, and SKU-level visibility
Cut spend where returns didn’t justify scale

02 Campaign Restructuring for Efficiency

Rebuilt marketplace ad structures to prioritize:
High-conversion SKUs
Low-cost visibility
Predictable demand
Scaled only what delivered measurable, repeatable returns

03 Growth Aligned With Expansion

Ensured online scale didn’t compromise margins
Used marketplace performance data to support broader distribution decisions
This ensured growth was intentional, not aggressive.

What We Implemented

High-efficiency marketplace marketing framework
Optimized ad structures focused on profitability
Improved product discoverability without inflating spend

Results

ACOS reduced from ~40% to ~10%
Advertising costs brought down to under ₹10
Achieved 30% month-on-month growth in sales volume
Maintained and improved overall profitability

Beyond Online Growth

Supported CCDS in expanding offline distribution
Enabled product placement across Reliance Retail Super Stores
Helped transition CCDS from a small-scale operation to a multi-channel, high-growth brand

Key Takeaway

Growth doesn’t start with more spend. It starts with better economics.

CCDS proves that marketplace brands don’t need bigger budgets—they need cleaner systems. By fixing efficiency first, Growthify helped unlock consistent growth while preserving margins and opening doors to offline expansion.
