A Saudi Salla store growing on a catalogue where the best sellers sell out without warning and new creative arrives slowly. We built an automated winners engine with an availability guard, so the budget only ever follows a product the store can actually ship, and judged every platform on one number the store could confirm.
A catalogue whose best sellers go out of stock without warning, a slow supply of new creative, and four platforms all buying from the same feed with four different scoreboards.
A weekly winners engine that ranks products on the store's own revenue and writes the labels itself, an availability guard on every product set, a defined job for each platform, and one blended number.
3.3× the average monthly sales, 9,700 orders and a blended ROAS of 3.89× held across seventeen months and four platforms.
One map of the catalogue and the four accounts before changing a campaign.
Across the reported months Google carried 58% of purchases; Snapchat produced 27% of them on 9% of the media.
The same ranked list feeds Google Merchant Center and the Meta product set, so all four platforms promote the same winners.
When new creative is scarce, the product mix has to carry the novelty.
Blended ROAS stayed between 2.51× and 5.80× for seventeen consecutive months.
Salla and platform data by month. The engagement began in April 2025; January to March 2025 is the store's own run-rate before it. Monthly sales are indexed so the trend is visible without disclosing revenue. Two things are worth reading together. Individual months swing hard, because a sold-out best seller or a month without new creative moves them; August 2026 is the clearest case, a month in which media was deliberately cut by a third while blended ROAS held at 3.88×. The annual run-rate underneath those swings is the third chart, and it has gone one way.
Store numbers, not platform numbers. April 2025 to August 2026 unless stated. Year-on-year comparisons use the same calendar months so seasonality is not doing the work.
Absolute revenue and ad spend are confidential to the client. Every figure is a ratio, an index or a count from the client's own Salla and platform reporting for the months stated. ROAS here is blended: total Salla sales divided by total media spend across every platform, which is the number reported to the client each month; each platform's own attribution is lower and is tracked separately.
The pieces that did the work, not the whole gallery.
Why it workedThe set rebuilds itself every week from the store's own revenue and drops anything out of stock, so the ad is current without a new asset being made.
Why it workedThe cheapest purchases in the account: 27% of all purchases on 9% of the media, at a cost per purchase around a quarter of the account average.
Why it workedBeauty sells in routines, not single items. The average basket ran between three and four products, and the average order value rose 35%.
A weekly engine ranks products on the store's own 60-day revenue and writes the labels that Merchant Center and the Meta product set read. Every set carries an availability clause, so a sold-out best seller leaves the campaign by itself instead of collecting budget.
Against the same five months a year earlier, sales are up 7% while orders are down 14% and the average order is up 25%. That is what a thin creative supply and an unstable stock position look like in the numbers. It is on this page because it is the problem the next phase has to solve.
Snapchat took 9% of the media and returned 27% of the purchases. TikTok, opened in the same period, produced 132 purchases before it was closed. Both answers came out of the same test, and only one of them is the one an agency usually quotes.
Months move with what is in stock and what creative arrived, so any one of them can be read either way. Over the eight months of 2026 so far, sales are up 53% and orders up 22% on the same months of 2025, and the rolling twelve-month run-rate is 34% above calendar 2025. August was a deliberate one-third cut in media that still returned 3.88×. The system holds its efficiency when it is throttled, which is the property that makes the next stock and creative fix worth making.
