What we learned
01
Premium is a positioning, not a price.
Leading with design and lifestyle let Artmood charge more in a market that expected discounts.
02
Social proof is a funnel stage.
UGC and customer interaction did the consideration work that ads alone could not.
03
Daily beats weekly when margins are premium.
Shifting budget daily protected ROAS without cheapening the brand.
