The problem
Lebanese e-commerce brands lose money on the same three things.
First, under-priced offers. Founders anchor to the local competitive set instead of to the real cost of acquiring a customer in a small, fragmented market. The moment paid media enters the mix, the offer can't carry it.
Second, a leaky funnel. The product page reads like a warehouse dump. The cart is 4 clicks. Checkout is missing Apple Pay for the diaspora buyers who are actually paying. Every quarter we don't fix this is a quarter of paid media buying leads that never convert.
Third, paid without CRO leverage. Running Meta and Google without a testing loop on the site is spending on a car with a slow puncture. The tyre keeps going flat and every trip costs more.
A senior e-commerce marketing partner in Lebanon fixes all three inside the first quarter.
What you get
Deliverables
Diagnostic
Unit economics, contribution margin, funnel and retention health in the first two weeks.
Paid media
Meta, Google, TikTok, plus regional platforms for KSA and the wider GCC.
CRO
Structured testing on PDP, cart, checkout and offer — hypothesis-driven, not opinion-driven.
Retention
Klaviyo, SMS and WhatsApp flows built to move repeat rate, not just to send more email.
Creative pipeline
Static + video assets shipped at the pace paid actually needs to iterate.
Reporting
Weekly contribution margin, payback and channel-level truth — not blended ROAS.
Local context
Marketing an e-commerce brand in Lebanon has a specific gravity.
The buyer is fragmented — local Lebanese, diaspora across Europe/GCC/Americas, and regional Arabic-speaking buyers if the brand is set up for it. Each audience has different intent, different payment behaviour, different creative resonance and a different acceptable AOV.
The macro is unpredictable. FX moves, banking wobbles and import windows shift. Any marketing plan that ignores this ends up over-investing in months where cash conversion will fail. We build the media plan against the cash cycle, not against a flat monthly budget.

The Growth System, applied
How Build → Convert → Scale → Automate maps to a Lebanese e-commerce brand.
Build. Offer, pricing and margin engineered before any ads run. If the maths doesn't work at 1x, no channel will save it at 10x.
Convert. PDP, cart, checkout and post-purchase flow tuned to the actual buyer — diaspora, local or GCC.
Scale. Paid media loaded against contribution margin targets, with weekly creative refresh and market-level budgeting.
Automate. Retention, WhatsApp and reporting automated so the founder's day isn't spent chasing dashboards.
Who it's for
This engagement fits a specific brand profile.
Right fit: Lebanese founder-led brands doing $30k+/month with real margin (not sub-10% blended), a defensible product, and appetite to move to $150k–$500k/month over the next 12–18 months.
Wrong fit: brands still searching for product-market fit, brands with sub-10% contribution margin that can't be repaired, or brands whose entire acquisition idea is “spend more on ads” without a corresponding investment in site, offer and retention.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Primarily Shopify and Shopify Plus. We also work on WooCommerce, Salla (for KSA rollouts) and custom stacks, but our fastest engagements are on Shopify because tooling, pixels, retention and CRO all snap together cleanly.
- Yes. Meta, Google (Search, PMax, Shopping), TikTok, plus Snap and regional programmatic for KSA where it moves the needle. Everything is measured against contribution margin, not blended ROAS.
- Yes. Klaviyo for email; Postscript, Yotpo SMS or Attentive for SMS; and the WhatsApp Business Platform (via 360dialog or MessageBird) for conversational commerce and post-purchase flows. Retention is where most Lebanese stores leave the most margin on the floor.
- As a rough working-media floor, $10,000/month for a Lebanon-only programme and $20,000+/month for a Lebanon → GCC programme. Below that, the creative and testing budget is too thin to generate reliable signal.
- Yes — native Arabic (and French) creative across static, video and CRM. Arabic is not a translation layer for us; it's a separate creative track with its own writer, editor and QA.
- From $3,500/month retainer for growth work. Media spend is billed separately, directly on the client's ad accounts. Creative production is scoped on volume — we don't hide it inside the retainer.
