Case Study: Elevating Shajgoj Limited — Bangladesh’s #1 Beauty E-commerce

In 2018, Shajgoj Limited embarked on a transformative digital journey, evolving from a Facebook-only beauty brand into Bangladesh’s preeminent beauty e-commerce platform within nine months. By architecting and executing a data-driven digital marketing framework—built on high-velocity content strategy, precision-paid media, and rigorous analytics—Shajgoj achieved 100,000+ orders, set new standards for cost-efficient conversion, and emerged as the market leader in this sector.

Background and Challenges

Initial Positioning: Shajgoj operated exclusively through a Facebook page, lacking a website, search presence, and expansive offline footprint (limited to two outlets in prominent shopping centers).

Business Obstacles:
  • Transitioning an engaged social community into a scalable, transaction-driven e-commerce business without a mature website.
  • Structuring logistics and fulfillment to accommodate rapid spikes in volume.
  • Achieving significant sales growth while entirely circumventing legacy retail models during the early phase.

Objectives

  • Establish Shajgoaj as the authoritative beauty-commerce brand in Bangladesh.
  • Drive exponential daily order growth in a compressed timeframe.
  • Integrate content marketing, video engagement, and paid digital acquisition for maximum conversion efficiency.
  • Seamlessly evolve operations from f-commerce (Facebook commerce) to a unified, platform-based e-commerce model.

Strategy and Implementation

Digital Strategy Development

  • Defined Shajgoj as the definitive digital-first beauty destination, supported by consumer insight and persona segmentation.
  • Leveraged granular audience profiling to architect influencer partnerships and campaign roadmaps aligning with buyer motivations.
Content-Driven Engagement
  • Launched an integrated beauty blogging platform, generating a steady influx of organic visitors and building a trusted affinity community.
  • Introduced pre-recorded livestream sales with time-limited offers, creating urgency and instant conversion triggers.
  • Synchronized product campaigns and editorial content for a seamless narrative, amplifying campaign reach and brand equity.
Paid Performance Marketing
  • Orchestrated targeted Facebook and Instagram marketing, prioritizing rigorous A/B testing of creative and offer structures.
  • Following the website launch, deployed structured remarketing and retargeting funnels, optimizing touchpoints along the conversion journey.
  • Strategically decreased cost per acquisition, achieving campaign benchmarks as low as $0.04 per conversion at scale—a region-leading performance
Creative Production and Innovation
  • Developed original multimedia creative, live video retail formats, and platform-specific content series.
  • Executed coordinated discount-led campaigns with compelling calls to action to capitalize on impulse buying behavior.
