Owning a business is never easy, especially when running one in a competitive industry

With so many different options out there, consumers are spoiled for choice, which can make it difficult for a business to stand out from the crowd. This is especially true for industries like fashion or F&B, which are highly competitive markets. And despite trying various marketing techniques, many entrepreneurs still struggle to draw attention to their business.

This struggle is one that local entrepreneur Puan Norsalsabila Zawawi, the owner of Bawalz.my, can definitely relate to

Bawalz.my is a small Kelantan-based shop selling embroidered hand-made tudung bawal both online and offline.

Puan Norsalsabila started selling hijab to her female colleagues in 2017, which eventually led her to running her business on Instagram. With many similar tudung shops out there, especially online, she knew that Bawalz.my had to step up their game and be seen as relevant to the market, in order to earn the interest and trust of customers.

Despite running the operations single-handedly out of her home in Kelantan, she had slowly worked on her social media game to expand her audience, targeting Instagram customers in Selangor, Johor, and Seremban. Without using any advertising tools other than boosting her Instagram posts, she made sales ranging from RM5,000 to RM7,000 per month.

When Puan Norsalsabila learned about an innovative digital marketing tool called REV Ad Manager (RAM), she decided to give it a try

RAM is a unique solution that empowers brands and agencies to target audiences based on strategic consumer insights.

Puan Norsalsabila decided to run campaign ads for two weeks with RAM, incorporating two ad types — awareness and performance. With an investment of RM2,000, her campaign ads gained 0.28% CTR (click through rate) from MREC and a rise to 4.46% CTR for mobile sticky bottom ads.

As a result of this, Bawalz.my recorded an additional RM10,000 in revenue by the end of the two-week campaign, with the RAM ads having instantly doubled their sales!
