01 Kez Rugs
A bay horse standing side-on in a Kez Rugs Summer Weave neck combo kezrugs.com.au
Nearly 2xThe best 7 days in six years before ads
40+Orders in 7 days, a store record
4x+The same 7 days last year
Day 7Of ads, the store's biggest day ever

Within 9 days of ads, the store nearly doubled its best week in six years of trading.

Overview

Horse rugs, fly masks and dog rugs, handmade in Beaudesert and sold online since 2020. Six years of customers, and an ad account that had never run a campaign.

The opportunity

A handmade product customers love, on a store that could not show all of it yet. Give every colour its own photo, show buyers what is ready to post, then put ads behind it.

The build
  • Store rebuilt: new homepage, collections, product page, navigation and cart, on a custom Shopify build.
  • Catalogue rebuilt: one listing per colour, 17 sizes on every rug, every variant stock-tracked.
  • AI imagery, real horse: every colourway recoloured from a real photo, with everything but the cloth left untouched. 39 listing images in one pass.
  • Stock the buyer can see: every size says on the shelf or made to order, and an In Stock page lists every rug ready to post.
  • A product page that sells: the matching fly mask in the right size, binding and embroidery priced live, real Google reviews word for word.
  • Static image ads: 90+ built before launch. The first five days ran on static images alone.
  • Tracking read off the store: every ad carries its own tag, so an order from an ad names that ad in Shopify.
  • Systems behind it: a stock rule that never lets the shelf go negative, a preorder status that ends itself, a private price console.
The result

The rebuilt store and the ads went live the same night, 8 to 9 Sep 2026. Within nine days the store had its best 7 days on record: nearly 2x its best 7 days in six years of trading before ads and 4x+ the same 7 days last year, on a record 40+ orders. Day seven was the biggest day in its history.

Static image ads alone for the first five days, on a store rebuilt to sell. Every result here is read off Shopify, not the ad account.

The ads
Static image ad: Scarlet Summer Weave, made to order in Beaudesert Static image ad: Kez Rugs and Saddlery, made in Beaudesert

Two of the static image ads from launch week. A still image, a headline and a button. The red rug is an AI recolour of the real photo above.

[ The impact ]

The week the records fell, day by day.

Read off Shopify, not the ad account. Every sale across the whole store, the same measure on every bar.

The best 7 days of ads against every yardstick

Store sales for 7 days in a row, the same Shopify measure on every bar. The multiple is how many times over the best 7 days of ads beat it.

Best 7 days of ads11 to 17 Sep 2026, days 3 to 9

4x+ the same 7 days last year11 to 17 Sep 2025
8x+ the 7 days before ads2 to 8 Sep 2026

How this is counted. Shopify's total sales and orders for the whole store, never the ad account's numbers. The best 7 days of ads is the strongest 7 days in a row since they went live, read through 17 Sep 2026. Each multiple is the lower of the sales and the order comparison, rounded down, and nearly 2x means at least 1.8x on both. Spring is fly season, so the main yardsticks are the same 7 days last year and the best 7 days before ads. Every record still holds with GST and shipping taken out.

02 NSI Nails
NSI Nails nsinails.com.au
Nearly 30%More course enrolments, first month
70%+Chose the weekly payment plan
60+Live weekly payment plans, Sep 2026
Week oneAds profitable from the first report

Course enrolments up nearly 30%, with payment plans that chase themselves.

Overview

NSI is an Australian nail supply and education business with certificate courses. In June 2026 MakeItScale moved course sales to a new checkout with a deposit and weekly plan, then automated the follow-up.

The problem

Students often finish the course well before their weekly plan ends, so missed payments, paused access and early payoffs all need fast, fair follow-up.

The systems
  • Full trade system: A complete Shopify trade-account path with live ABN checks, automatic customer tagging, member pricing, product exclusions, welcome emails and a dashboard for managing applications.
  • Deposit to weekly plan: A deposit at checkout sets up the student's 5 or 25 week plan in Stripe, with no setup per student.
  • Missed payment pauses: A failed payment pauses the course, and an email carries a pay button per unpaid week. Repeat misses flag a personal call.
  • Paid means unlocked: Course access comes back the moment the payment lands, with the student's progress kept.
  • Finish-line payoff: A 9am daily sweep offers the payoff to students at their last module. One button raises the invoice and pauses billing.
  • Product-specific Meta ads: Meta ads built around product-level buying signals, with weekly reporting checked against real Shopify orders and 40+ AI-built statics tested across nine products in month one.
The result

Course enrolments rose nearly 30% in the new checkout's first month, 70%+ of students chose the weekly plan, and the ads were profitable from the very first weekly report.

The ads
Callout ad for the NSI portable nail drill held in a hand, labelled 30,000 RPM of power, 8 to 10 hours cordless, forward and reverse, and removes acrylic and gels. Myth card ad for GripLock dual forms showing a top form, a finished almond nail and a bottom form beside four benefit strips.

Two of the AI-built statics MakeItScale ran for NSI in month one: a callout card and a myth card.

2Payment emails per missed week, at most

One on the first failed try and one on the last, never two in 24 hours, with a pay button for every unpaid week.

A 9am daily sweep finds students at their last module and offers the payoff. The team clears it with one button.

LiveStock and profit dashboard for every hat

A hat store that doubled its orders in the first 90 days of ads.

Overview

Manor Hats sells hats online. The opportunity: put the range in front of more buyers with AI imagery, simple Meta ads and live numbers behind every decision.

The systems
  • AI product imagery: Studio-style and on-model images made with AI from the real hats. No photo shoot, and they became the ad creative.
  • Simple static ads: Single images and carousels with one clear message each, running on Meta since December 2025.
  • Managed on numbers: A live stock and profit dashboard on Shopify data shows margin and sell-through for every hat.
The result

Orders doubled in the first 90 days of ads, the latest 90 days run at 2.5x+ the level before, and sales for the 12 months to September 2026 nearly doubled on the year before.

AI imagery we made
AI on-model image: a woman at the races wearing the rust wool sculpted brim hat AI on-model image: a woman in a navy blazer at a show ring rail wearing the rust wool hat

On-model images MakeItScale made with AI for one hat. The people are AI-generated, and the hat is held true to the store's own listing photo.

270+Orders out by 4pm on EOFY day one
85%+Same-day turnaround, EOFY day one
1,500+Customers tagged for VIP early access
24 weeksOf weekly ad reports on real store orders

EOFY day one: 270+ orders out the door by 4pm, on a picking app we built.

Overview

Gala Equine is an established equestrian brand with a big, loyal customer base. MakeItScale runs its Meta ads, email and reporting month to month, and builds the operations systems behind the store.

The problem

Big sale days test the warehouse, and every container of stock lands with a long packing list to check.

The systems
  • Warehouse picking app: Orders batched by zone and difficulty, walk-order pick sheets and automatic tags. EOFY day one: 270+ orders out by 4pm.
  • Reordering priorities: Product and variant performance is ranked so the team can see what to reorder, what to hold and what not to buy again.
  • Stock calculations: Sales pace, stock on hand, stock cover and run-out forecasts turn live Shopify data into practical buying quantities.
  • Stock ordering system: Purchase orders run from watchlist to container arrival in one view, with an AI importer that reads a full packing list in one upload.
  • Klaviyo campaigns: VIP tagging, wishlist build-up and a six-email EOFY sequence, with email results checked back against real Shopify orders.
  • Product-specific Meta ads: Every product gets its own ad set and creative, and budget only rises when store results, available stock and new-customer orders support it.
The result

EOFY day one 2026 got 270+ orders out the door by 4pm, more than double the same shift in 2025, with 85%+ turned around the same day.

The ads

Store, catalogue and email built as one engine for a new equestrian label.

Overview

Cavalle & Co is an equestrian lifestyle label, launched in April 2026 by a founder with a loyal equine photography audience. MakeItScale built the store, catalogue, email and ads as one engagement.

The build
  • Store rebuild: Colour swatches, product filters and a rebuilt cart, plus pre-order per size with clear Add to Bag, Pre-Order and Sold Out states.

Overview

Infinite Golf is a golf training aid brand led by the Gatekeeper putting trainer. MakeItScale audited the store, rebuilt the pages that sell, made the creative and launched Meta ads on 12 August 2026.

The build
  • Store rebuild: New homepage, new pages for all five products, About, Shop and FAQ pages, and a free-shipping bar in the cart.
  • Conversion audit: A full store audit across seven areas, with every fix ranked by impact.
  • Offers built in: A buy-with-your-mates 2 and 3 pack deal and opt-in shipping protection, both switchable on and off.
  • AI creative library: 30+ static ad images from 15 concepts, every prompt and reference photo logged. The winning ad came out of this batch.
  • Meta ads: Live since 12 August, with the pixel checked against real Shopify orders and a testimonial video added in September.
The result

Every weekSales since the first Meta-attributed order
First-everPaid acquisition campaign
4 anglesProof, story, education and product
One launchShopify, tracking and Meta working together

A first paid campaign that turned online sales into a weekly habit.

Overview

Hair Test Lab is a Queensland horse and canine health brand established in 2005. MakeItScale rebuilt the Shopify store, installed Meta tracking and launched the brand's first paid acquisition campaign.

The problem

The brand had trust, products and real customer stories, but ecommerce was not yet a dependable sales channel. The website, message and campaign needed to work as one system.

The build
  • Conversion-first Shopify rebuild: The offer, product education, customer proof and buying path were rebuilt around one clear journey.
  • Meta tracking from launch: The new store launched with the pixel in place so campaign decisions could follow attributed orders instead of guesswork.
  • Proof-led creative system: Before-and-after results, customer stories, product education and brand history became a repeatable set of mobile-first ads.
  • Offer-to-page alignment: The campaign promise carried through to the live landing experience and checkout.
  • Weekly measurement: Campaign reporting followed purchases week by week, so consistency mattered more than a single spike.
The result

From the first Meta-attributed order in late May, the store recorded Meta-attributed sales every reported week through early September. The channel moved from unproven to consistent.

The campaign creative
A chestnut horse photographed before and after two months, with the Hair Test Lab products shown between the two images. Hair Test Lab staff preparing products at the farm under the line 20 Years. Thousands of Winners. Two riders walking through a paddock above a customer quote about happy horses with dapples in their coats. Hair Test Lab supplement products arranged beside tack under the question Still guessing what your horse needs?

Four evergreen angles from the first paid campaign: before-and-after proof, the brand story, customer proof and the problem-solution message.

A new owner took over. We built the ecommerce brand she was ready to launch.

Overview

Judges Choice is an Australian-made equestrian grooming brand. When the business changed hands, MakeItScale rebuilt the Shopify store into a polished, conversion-ready home for its next chapter.

The problem

The new owner inherited proven products and wholesale recognition, but the storefront did not yet match the brand she was taking forward. Strategy, identity, imagery and ecommerce UX had to arrive as one launch-ready build.

The build
  • Complete Shopify rebuild: Homepage, collections, product templates, search, cart, brand story and trust pages built as one customer journey.
  • Site-wide AI imagery: On-brand scenes created for the hero, grooming, product and lifestyle moments, then art-directed into the full store.
  • Brand system: The green-to-lime palette, cream backgrounds, premium serif type and confident equestrian voice applied consistently.
  • Merchandising built in: Collections, best sellers, bundled packs, social proof and show-day buying paths brought forward.
  • Launch-ready trust: Australian-made positioning, shipping, secure checkout and retailer credibility placed where shoppers make decisions.
The result

The finished store went live and began taking orders. The new owner stepped into a complete branded ecommerce asset, not a homepage waiting for the rest of the business to catch up.

30%+Who answered want panels within 3 months

Found the real buyer: homeowners, not designers.

Overview

M-Bossed is an Australian business launching embossed timber panels, a brand-new product with no local competitor to copy. The job: find the real buyer, prove the demand and build the lead engine around the answer.

The problem

The obvious bet was designers and architects. Trade or homeowner, local or national: each answer changes the ads, the content and the offer.

The systems
  • Sample-first lead engine: A free-sample offer, landing page and Meta ads that brought in 230 sample requests at a low cost.
  • Audience found with data: Homeowners outnumbered the assumed designer audience 4 to 1, and not one person ready to start now was a designer.
  • Demand mapped: Nearly a third who answered want panels within three months, and 3 in 4 requests giving a state came from outside Queensland.
  • Demand data captured: The sample form records pattern, project and timeline. Scorched and Diamond lead the six patterns, and feature walls are the top project.
  • The engine behind it: Site rebuild, a panel quote builder, an AI Colour Studio, pixel tracking, 40+ SEO blogs written and a designer outreach list.
The result

M-Bossed now knows who buys, where they are and what they want it for, from 230 real sample requests instead of a guess.

A tutoring website that already runs the booking calendar, built to become the operating system.

Overview

Heath Kirby Tutoring provides one-on-one university tutoring, interview preparation and academic support. MakeItScale rebuilt the website around services, proof and a backend that can expand with the business.

The opportunity

Put enquiries, booking and the first internal workflows on Heath's own domain, then make the foundation ready for more tutors, service funnels, payments and a future client portal.

The build
  • Conversion-first website: A page for every core service, with real results, reviews and a clear enquiry or booking path on desktop and mobile.
  • Custom booking calendar: Students choose a service, time and Zoom or Google Meet without leaving the site.
  • Calendar automation: Google Calendar busy times block automatically, confirmed sessions sync back, and double bookings are prevented.
  • Automatic follow-up: Confirmation, cancellation and reminder emails carry the correct private meeting link for each booking.
  • Internal system foundation: One admin for bookings, enquiries, file submissions and availability, ready to add tutor, payment and client workflows.
The result

The new calendar handled 30+ booking requests in its first fortnight, with 10 bookings in each of its busiest weeks. The website is live, the first internal systems are running, and the tutoring business now has a foundation built to scale.
