What the data proved.

CT-06 reached 1.24× Meta-reported ROAS after switching to purchase optimization. Inside it, one combination did the work. CT-07 leans into exactly what worked.

01 · The engine
1.51×

The BYOB bundle returned 1.51× ROAS at $25.61 CPP — vs the single-flavor anchor's 1.04× at $50.65. The bundle converts, so it leads (55% of budget).

02 · The fix
1.24×

CT-05 optimized for the wrong event (0.04×). CT-06 optimized for Purchases and hit 1.24×. Purchases, 7-day click / 1-day view, Shopify as source of truth.

03 · The audience
25–44

Summer flavors skew younger and more social — poolside, golden hour, gatherings. CT-07 re-centers on 25–44, hard cap 54.

04 · Discipline
35%

In CT-06 one ad ate 52% of budget at 0.90× while efficient ads starved. CT-07 caps any ad at 35% of its set and reallocates by ROAS from day 5.

05 · Focus
2

CT-06 planned four ad sets; two ever cleared learning on $800. CT-07 funds two properly, with a reserve for the winner.

06 · The SKU lesson
−CT07

CT-06's standalone products reused master SKUs — the collision that broke packing slips. CT-07 uses a distinct -CT07 scheme. Resolved.

02 · Campaign Plan

The $1,150 blueprint.

BYOB-led. The bundle is the conversion engine; Pineapple Paradise & Flora Passion are the hooks that pull people into it. Two well-funded ad sets, one reserve.

Non-negotiablesOptimize for Purchases. Attribution 7-day click / 1-day view. Manual placements only — IG Reels, IG Stories, FB Reels. Feed, Audience Network, Advantage+ off. Age 25–54 cap, core 25–44. No ad over 35% of ad-set spend. Source of truth = Shopify revenue net of discount. Pipe ( | ) naming. SUMMER25 auto-applies — no redirect LPs.

Golden hour. Card warms in.

Sunset / golden-hour hybrid. The scene breathes for three seconds in warm evening light, then the frame warms and the copy materializes out of a sun-haze glow — unhurried, summer, alive.

Poolside lounge chair at golden hour, a sweating glass of iced tea on a woven side table, warm low sun raking from frame-right with long soft shadows, gentle lens flare, no faces, no hands, no fabric close-ups, Kodak Portra 400, fine grain, imperceptibly slow rightward drift, 9s, 9:16, no audio.

Card assembly: contained warm glow behind the centered card (opacity 0→70%, 0.8s) → tag → headline → gold rule + subtext → CTA, all in the center safe band. Sale flag on conversion ads only. AE scripts animate Opacity only. Export 1080×1920. Standard mode.

Safe zones · Meta 2026The only reliably clear area is the center band: x 65–1015, y 270–1250. Top 14% and bottom 35% are reserved on Reels. All card/text lives centered — never the lower third. Validate against Ads Manager's overlay.

Four frameworks, seven scenes

The frameworks

Golden Hour Card (primary) · Tropical Close-Up · Scroll-Stop Sun Flare · UGC Mimic. Lead with clean product-forward + outdoor/observed — the CT-06 winners. Don't over-produce.

The scenes

01 poolside · 02 hammock · 03 sunset garden (BYOB) · 04 porch lights · 05 picnic · 06 rooftop · 07 open-window hero. Sealed pouch present only as an incidental prop.

Compliance

SafeSealed product as a prop · flavor + brand names · brand taglines · golden-hour lifestyle language · "wrap," "roll," "herbal."
AvoidHandling / rolling / unpackaging · smoke or vapor · "smoke," "high," "THC," "cannabis" · hemp-leaf imagery · medical or wellness claims.
NeverReuse the legacy Flora copy ("Once you smoke a Flora Passion…"). Rewrite from the approved library only.
04 · Landing Pages

Three pages, one luxe system.

Two new standalone products power the flavor LPs. All three share one luxury design: warm bone palette, Cormorant serif, floating product cards, real photography, Pinwheel above Add-to-Cart, mobile-first with pick animations.

Build Your Box

The Engine

Live mix-and-match of all 16 in-stock pouches. Curation panel, tier ladder 20→50%, ambient golden-hour warmth, fly-to-box + tier-unlock animation. Bundler h67u.

05 · Email Sequences

The recovery layer.

Ten templates across four sequences, built in the luxe system on Shopify Email — the channel that recovers paid traffic at near-zero cost.

Seq 01 · Abandoned Cart

1hr / 24hr / 72hr

Reminder → social proof + Pinwheel trust → "Last call," coral urgency.

Seq 02 · Browse

4hr / 48hr

Flavor-matched spotlight (Pineapple + Flora) → "Can't pick? Get both" + BYOB for AOV.

Seq 03 · Welcome

Instant / Day 3 / Day 10

Welcome + order block → ritual + cross-sell → "Your next box ships free."

Seq 04 · Launch

Day 1 · full list

"Summer, by the box." Two heroes side by side, BYOB band, 25% off. Seeds a retargeting pool.

06 · Checkout & Discount

Five fixes before launch.

The checkout works. The infrastructure around it is what needs verifying — the CT-06 lesson.

01 · Discount

SUMMER25 auto-applies

25% off, scheduled Jul 1–31, no code. Confirm $34.99 → $26.24 on mobile. Set to stack on BYOB via the Bundler toggle. Margin holds 68%+ at the deepest tier.

02 · Trust

Pinwheel above ATC

Name and explain the processor with card icons before payment — not for the first time at checkout.

03 · Age gate

At checkout, not the LP

A 2-second form field after add-to-cart — never a wall before the product.

04 · Mobile walk

Real device · sub-free-shipping

iOS + Android, private browsing. Catch any "shipping not available" bleed before launch.

05 · Pixel

Four events, every page

ViewContent, AddToCart, InitiateCheckout, Purchase — verified before a dollar of spend.

06 · Voice

Thank-you page

"Your summer is on its way." The last touchpoint sounds like the brand they responded to.

07 · Pre-Launch

Readiness.

CT-07 does not launch until the funnel is verified end to end.
