About 
Glenn

Our client is a highly experienced dropshipping entrepreneur managing multiple fashion stores in collaboration with our agency. Known for his strong product research capabilities, he consistently builds stores around proven market demand and scalable product opportunities.

With a solid understanding of the dropshipping landscape and a focus on high-volume growth, the client was already operating multiple Google Ads accounts across different international markets.

The challenge

In Q4, just before Black Friday, a significant number of the client’s Google Ads accounts were suddenly shut down. This created an urgent and high-pressure situation where all focus, advertising budget, and scaling efforts had to be redirected toward a single remaining store.

The challenge was to recover momentum quickly and continue scaling aggressively across multiple international markets despite the unexpected disruption.

The solution

Instead of relying on passive budget strategies, we implemented an intensive Surf Scaling approach. Campaigns were monitored and optimised continuously throughout the day, allowing us to react instantly to performance signals.

When strong ROAS trends appeared, budgets were increased decisively to maximise momentum. This agile scaling strategy enabled the store to ride peak performance waves simultaneously across 10 international markets, turning a crisis scenario into a growth opportunity.

The results

The outcome exceeded expectations:

  • Generated $100,000 in revenue within a single day
  • Achieved $1.3 million in revenue in December alone
  • December performance outperformed both November and Black Friday results
  • Successfully scaled across 10 international markets
  • Maintained strong growth using one primary store after multiple account shutdowns

What initially started as a recovery strategy ultimately became the strongest revenue month of the year.
