How This Men's Clothing Brand Achieved 1.89 ROAS with Facebook Ads (Complete Case Study)

Running Facebook ads for fashion brands can be tricky. You need the right audience, compelling creatives, and a tight budget strategy. But when done right, the results speak for themselves.

In this case study, I'll break down exactly how we helped a men's clothing brand turn RM83.41 in ad spend into measurable returns with a 1.89 ROAS in just one week.

Campaign Overview

Campaign Duration: October 22-28, 2025
Platform: Facebook Ads
Industry: Men's Fashion & Apparel
Total Ad Spend: RM83.41
ROAS: 1.89 (nearly double the investment)

The Numbers That Matter

Here's what we achieved during this 7-day campaign:

  • 44,900 Reach - Our ads reached nearly 45K targeted men interested in fashion
  • 84,000 Impressions - Generated over 84K ad views
  • 1,040 Unique Link Clicks - Quality traffic to product pages
  • 644 Messaging Contacts - Direct inquiries from interested buyers
  • RM0.06 Cost Per Click (CPC) - Extremely cost-effective traffic
  • RM1.30 Cost Per 1000 Impressions (CPM) - Maximum visibility at minimum cost

What Made This Campaign Successful?

1. Laser-Focused Audience Targeting

We didn't just target "men who like clothes." We identified:

  • Age demographics with the highest purchase intent
  • Income brackets matching product pricing
  • Interest-based targeting (fashion brands, style influencers)
  • Lookalike audiences from previous buyers
  • Behavioral targeting (online shoppers, recent purchasers)

2. Cost Optimization Strategy

With a CPM of just RM1.30, we maximized visibility without burning budget. Here's how:

  • Tested multiple ad sets with small budgets
  • Scaled winners, paused losers quickly
  • Optimized ad delivery for link clicks
  • Used automatic placements for best performance

3. High-Converting Ad Creatives

The visual content featured:

  • Clean product photography
  • Lifestyle images showing clothes in real settings
  • Size guides and fabric details
  • Limited-time offers to create urgency
  • Clear call-to-action buttons

4. Strategic Messaging Campaign

644 messaging contacts means people were genuinely interested. We encouraged direct conversations through:

  • Messenger ads with quick replies
  • "Message Us" CTAs for sizing questions
  • Automated responses for instant engagement
  • Personalized follow-ups for conversions

Breaking Down the ROAS

1.89 ROAS means that for every RM1 spent, we generated RM1.89 in return.

On RM83.41 spent:

  • Total revenue generated: ~RM157.64
  • Profit after ad spend: ~RM74.23
  • This doesn't include repeat customers and lifetime value

For a small fashion brand, this is excellent performance that can scale.

The Cost Efficiency Advantage

RM0.06 per click is incredibly low for fashion e-commerce. Industry averages typically range from RM0.15-0.50 per click. Here's why we achieved this:

  1. Relevant targeting = Higher quality scores
  2. Engaging creatives = Better click-through rates
  3. Proper ad copy = Pre-qualified clicks
  4. Strategic bidding = Cost optimization

Key Takeaways for Fashion Brands

1. Start Small, Scale Smart
You don't need thousands in ad budget. RM80-100 can generate meaningful results if spent wisely.

2. Direct Messaging Works
644 message conversations proved that people want to ask questions before buying clothes online. Make it easy.

3. Cost Per Click Matters More Than Reach
44K reach is nice, but 1,040 clicks at RM0.06 each is what drove sales.

4. Test Everything
Different audiences, creatives, and ad formats. Data tells you what works.

5. ROAS Above 1.5 is Profitable
For most fashion brands, 1.5+ ROAS leaves room for profit after product costs.

How to Replicate These Results

Step 1: Define your target customer
Step 2: Create 3-5 ad variations with different images/copy
Step 3: Set up conversion tracking properly
Step 4: Start with an RM10-15 daily budget per ad set
Step 5: Monitor for 3 days, kill underperformers
Step 6: Scale budget on winning ads by 20-30% every few days
Step 7: Implement retargeting for website visitors

The Bottom Line

This men's clothing brand case study proves that effective Facebook advertising doesn't require massive budgets. With the right strategy, targeting, and optimization, even RM83.41 can deliver 1.89 ROAS and generate real sales.

The key is understanding your audience, creating compelling content, and constantly testing and optimizing based on data.
