About the Client

Background

Handpickd operates in a highly competitive hyperlocal commerce category where operational efficiency matters as much as marketing performance.

With limited serviceable delivery zones, rising audience fatigue, and increasing acquisition costs, scaling profitably became a major challenge. Unlike traditional e-commerce, hyperlocal growth depends heavily on precise targeting, timing, and backend operational alignment.

To unlock sustainable scale without compromising profitability, Handpickd partnered with Digidarts to build a high-efficiency acquisition engine powered by hyperlocal intelligence, backend data, and rapid experimentation.

Objective

To build a scalable hyperlocal performance engine by:

  • Scaling order volume profitably across serviceable zones
  • Improving CAC while increasing acquisition efficiency
  • Reducing media wastage through tighter targeting controls
  • Building a backend-led creative optimization framework
  • Improving conversion recovery across high-intent drop-offs

Our Approach

Campaigns were tightly focused only on active serviceable delivery zones to eliminate unnecessary spend leakage.

This helped:
  1. Reduce budget wastage
  2. Improve conversion quality
  3. Increase operational efficiency
  4. Focus spend only where fulfillment was possible

Budget allocation was mapped against peak order-contributing hours using historical backend performance data.

This enabled:
  1. Higher efficiency during demand spikes
  2. Better budget utilization
  3. Reduced low-intent spend during weak hours
  4. Improved order contribution efficiency

We built a continuous testing framework across:
  1. Devices
  2. Locations
  3. Audience cohorts
  4. Messaging variations
  5. Offer-led creatives
Impact: Identified winning combinations faster while minimizing creative fatigue in limited geographies.

Weekly backend product analysis was used to align campaigns and creatives with:
  1. Top-selling SKUs
  2. High-conversion products
  3. Seasonal demand patterns
  4. Fast-moving inventory categories
Impact: Ensured that media performance stayed closely aligned with actual purchase behavior.

Given the limited audience pool in hyperlocal delivery zones, aggressive frequency monitoring was implemented to prevent ad fatigue.

Creative refreshes were introduced regularly to:
  1. Maintain CTR stability
  2. Improve engagement quality
  3. Sustain conversion rates
  4. Reduce audience saturation

A dedicated retargeting funnel was built for users who:
  1. Confirmed serviceability
  2. Reached deeper funnel stages
  3. Dropped before purchase completion
Impact: Recovered high-intent users more efficiently and improved overall funnel conversion.
