SophTattoos needed to rebuild demand fast after moving locations. We used paid ads to grow awareness first, then layered retargeting to convert that attention into consistent bookings and a reliable pipeline of new clients.

Sun Locke helped me get booked after I moved, and it was such a relief! The ads brought in so many new people so fast. Some weeks I was like, “Whoa, my inbox!” Now the ads bring me most of my new clients, so I’m not stressing about slow weeks.

Sophia Fox, Owner

Challenge
After SophTattoos relocated, she had to rebuild trust and a local client base fast. She was starting from scratch in a new area, so organic referrals alone could not keep momentum. The first stretch brought attention and follower growth, but bookings lagged while the audience warmed up. She needed a predictable reliable stream of inquiries that fit her calendar, without creating admin overload.
Solution
We ran always-on local prospecting ads built around her work, offers, and calls to action. We tested creatives and audiences, tightened geography, and focused on intent behaviors. Then we added retargeting for people who viewed, clicked, saved, or messaged, rotating creative to stay relevant. We excluded recent clients, paced spend to openings, and refined replies to reduce admin back and forth.
Results
Ads produced returns in the high hundreds to low thousands percent during strong demand windows and stayed profitable in slower seasons. They now account for about eighty seven percent of new clients, creating a consistent pipeline instead of random spikes. At peak performance, demand surged enough to cause admin strain, and the consistency helped SophTattoos maintain a steady clientele long term.
ROI Range
3x to 18x return on ad spend during key demand windows.
Booking Surge
Booking volume rose by 200%+ at peak, creating real admin capacity strain.
Client Source
Ads account for about 87% of new clients, keeping the calendar consistently full.
