01 · The challenge

Making Meta Ads pay in a low-margin category

A leading hardware and tools ecommerce business in Jordan partnered with AlGurus to drive sales and protect profitability. Demand for construction and DIY supplies was rising in Amman, Zarqa and Irbid, and the client wanted Meta Ads to reach contractors, businesses and homeowners. Three things stood in the way.

Low industry margins

Hardware and tools typically see a lower return on ad spend. The industry average is 2.5, which leaves little room for wasted budget.

High competition

The store competed with local hardware shops and with regional ecommerce giants for the same buyers.

Engagement hurdles

Technical products need clear, trust-building ads before people click. Generic product shots rarely earn attention in the feed.

02 · The strategy

A hyper-local campaign for Jordanian buyers

We treated the account like a profit and loss sheet, not a reach exercise. Every creative, audience and ad set had to earn its budget, and the ones that did not were cut.

ObjectiveDrive online sales of hardware and tools across Jordan while keeping return on ad spend above the low industry average.

Pillar 1

Arabic-first creative

Carousel ads showing tools in action, with Arabic copy such as “High-quality construction tools in Jordan” and a fast-delivery promise.

Pillar 2

Granular targeting and retargeting

Contractors and construction businesses in Amman, Irbid and Zarqa, DIY and hardware interests, plus retargeting of engaged visitors and cart abandoners.

Pillar 3

Budget precision and dynamic ads

Spend moved to the top-performing ad sets, underperformers eliminated, and automated product feeds kept trending tools in the ads.

Retargeting carried a lot of weight. Tools are a considered purchase, so the campaign followed up with people who had already shown interest, using dynamic ads from the catalogue and dynamic discounts for cart abandoners.

Starting point

A low-margin category with a low bar

Hardware and tools sell at thin margins, and the store was up against local shops and regional ecommerce giants. Technical products also need clear, trustworthy ads before anyone clicks.

  • Low industry margins: hardware typically sees lower ROAS
  • Competition from local stores and regional marketplaces
  • Technical products need trust-building ads to earn clicks

Step 1 · Creative

Arabic carousels of tools in action

We showed the tools doing the job, not sitting on a shelf, with Arabic copy and a promise that matters to buyers in Jordan: fast local delivery.

  • Carousel ads showing tools in use
  • Arabic-first copy such as “أدوات بناء عالية الجودة في الأردن” (High-quality construction tools in Jordan)
  • “Fast delivery in Jordan” messaging for trust and urgency

Step 2 · Targeting

Contractors, businesses and homeowners in three cities

Demand for construction and DIY supplies was rising in Amman, Zarqa and Irbid, so we built audiences around the people buying there.

Step 3 · Retargeting

Bringing back visitors and cart abandoners

Tools are a considered purchase, and not every buyer orders on the first visit. We retargeted engaged visitors and people who left items in the cart, with dynamic discounts to close the sale.

  • Retargeting of engaged website visitors
  • Cart abandoners retargeted with dynamic discounts
  • Dynamic ads fed by the product catalogue

Step 4 · Budget

Budget to winners, underperformers cut

With thin margins there is no room for ad sets that do not pay back. We moved spend to the top performers and switched the rest off, while automated feeds kept trending tools in front of buyers.

  • Spend allocated to top-performing ad sets
  • Underperforming ad sets eliminated
  • Automated product feeds showcasing trending tools

05 · What we learned

Three lessons for niche ecommerce on Meta

Show the product working

Tools in action, in Arabic, with a local delivery promise, earned a 3.39% CTR. Technical products need context, not just a white background.

Retarget the considered purchase

Visitors and cart abandoners already know the product. Dynamic ads and discounts bring them back to finish the order.

Cut fast when margins are thin

Moving budget to winning ad sets and switching off the rest is what kept ROAS at 3.06 in a 2.5 category.

Meta Ads and the store work together

Ads bring the buyer. Targeting and creative decide who arrives and how ready they are to buy.

The store closes the sale. Checkout, local payments and trust signals decide whether they order. Our Shopify hardware case covers that side.

Feeds connect the two. A clean product catalogue is what makes dynamic ads and retargeting possible.
