studies](https://shakalakaa.my/case-studies) In depth ## Meta ads beauty salon case study, in depth The supporting detail behind each section of this page, by topic. 5 topics ### The client New clients start with a RM 288 non-invasive anti-ageing facial trial, and the salon's customers are mostly working women and mature women aged 30 to 55 and above who live near an outlet. ### The problem Only 38% of the people who booked actually turned up, so the trial fees collected returned just RM 1.40 for every RM 1.00 of ad spend — the ads were not paying for themselves before any long-term package sale. ### What we did - **Qualifying lead forms.** Meta Instant Forms with three qualifier questions — age bracket, main skin concern and preferred outlet — so the salon's therapists spend their time on people ready to book. - **Click-to-WhatsApp booking.** A second campaign route that opens a WhatsApp chat with the outlet, for people who would rather arrange a consultation in conversation than fill in a form. - **Radius targeting around each outlet.** Audiences drawn from a 12 km radius of the Kota Damansara and SS17 outlets, aimed at working professionals and mature women. - **Weekly creative pruning.** Weak ad angles cut every week and the winners scaled — the strongest was the non-invasive, no-downtime positioning built on the founder's long experience. - **WhatsApp nurture.** An instant confirmation, a location pin, reminders 24 hours and 2 hours before the appointment, and a short video of the salon itself, so first-time visitors know what to expect before they arrive. - **Social content management.** Facebook and Instagram run on educational pillars — skin renewal, menopausal skin and inner wellness — plus founder-story posts, treatment reels for the Nano Perfector facial and peptide firming treatments, and unretouched client skin-texture posts. ### Results (january 2025 – august 2026) - Sources: Meta Ads Manager (leads, cost per lead, click-through rate), the salon's booking CRM and reception logs (show-up rate), Meta Ads Manager revenue attribution checked against salon POS receipts (front-end return on ad spend, counting trial payments only, before any package or product sale), Meta Business Suite (organic reach) and creative production logs. - Cost per lead is the client's Meta media cost divided by qualified leads; it is not shakalakaa's fee, which we do not publish. The trial price is Emma Lizs's own. ### What this means for your anti-ageing salon The trial payments alone now return RM 4.10 for every RM 1.00 of ad spend, so new-client acquisition pays for itself before a single package is sold. What this says about shakalakaa: we run Meta Ads, WhatsApp follow-up and social media management as one system for businesses that sell an appointment, and measure it at the door, not at the form. Salon and wellness chains can see the wider programme on our [beauty and wellness brand marketing](https://shakalakaa.my/industries/beauty-wellness-brand-marketing) page. Related ## Keep exploring FAQ ## Frequently asked questions ### What did shakalakaa do for Emma Lizs? Ran Meta lead ads with qualifying forms and a Click-to-WhatsApp booking route, set up WhatsApp confirmations and reminders, and managed Facebook and Instagram content, producing 95+ posts and ad creatives in-house. ### What were the results? From January 2025 to August 2026: trial leads from 65 to 248 a month, cost per qualified lead from RM 68.50 to RM 36.80, show-up rate from 38.0% to 64.2%, and front-end return on ad spend from 1.4× to 4.1×. ### Why did the show-up rate matter so much? A salon earns nothing from a booking that does not arrive. Confirmations, reminders and a preview of the salon raised show-ups from 38.0% to 64.2%, which is most of why the trial fees now cover the ad spend. ### Is the RM 36.80 cost per lead shakalakaa's fee? No. It is the client's Meta media cost divided by qualified leads. shakalakaa does not publish its fees.
