How We Reduced Fake Orders & Boosted ROI for Dira By Dimple

Services

Industry

Overview

Dira By Dimple is a contemporary Indian apparel brand, known for its elegant designs and modern ethnic wear crafted for today’s woman. While the brand was scaling through Meta ads, they faced a serious challenge that was eating into their profitability.

Objective

Despite Meta campaigns showing an attractive 3x–4x ROAS, the actual ROI was stuck at 1.2x.
Why?

  • A very high fake order rate (40%) — leading to excessive cancellations.
  • Majority of the orders were being canceled post COD confirmation, making the sales funnel highly inefficient.
  • A large chunk of the audience was junk traffic, inflating the cost per acquisition without contributing to real revenue.

The Strategy

We identified that the issue wasn’t just creative or targeting — it was leakage at the checkout and audience level.

Here’s how we fixed it:

Integrated Go Kwik as the Checkout Partner
→ Optimized COD verification and improved order quality at the checkout level.

Geo-Exclusions for High RTO Zones
→ Excluded top cities that were consistently contributing to fake orders and returns.

Audience Clean-up & Fresh Targeting
→ Cut off 180-day website retargeting audiences (which had accumulated junk traffic).
→ Focused on new, high-intent audiences only.

Execution

The Result (Within 1 Month)

Fake order rate dropped from 40% to just 5%.
📈 COD share increased from 30% to 65% (with verified orders).
💰 ROI improved from 1.2x to 2.5–3x, making the campaigns truly profitable.

Key Takeaway

What looked like a high-performing ad account on paper was actually bleeding revenue due to backend inefficiencies. By combining conversion hygiene + audience strategy, we helped Dira By Dimple scale sustainably — not just on ROAS metrics, but on real, bottom-line profits
