Make Meta Ads work harder for your ecommerce sales.
Facebook and Instagram advertising work best when creative, targeting, product economics and the website experience fit together. I manage Meta campaigns with an eye on real purchases, audience learning and profitable growth.

Campaign strategy
How I'd approach digital marketing for this sector
Google and Meta can complement each other, but the right combination depends on your buyers, your offer and the conversion data we can reliably collect.
Creative testing for actual buyer response
I would test clear demonstrations, strong product photography, pricing context, landing-page consistency and calls to action. Meta can introduce products to new customers and support return visits when eligibility and privacy requirements permit.
Connect Meta activity to revenue, not just engagement
I use campaign and website data to evaluate conversion performance. Purchase events, attribution limitations, margin and repeat-customer behaviour all matter when deciding what to scale.
Why hire me
A hands-on expert—not a chain of account managers
Paid ecommerce experience
I have helped appliance and furniture companies generate approximately US$100,000 and US$50,000 a month respectively in product sales from campaigns I set up and managed. These figures are historical client examples.
Past results are approximate examples supplied by Peter Woodford. Every market and campaign is different.
- I have experience generating ecommerce sales through appliance and furniture campaigns.
- I know website analytics and conversion optimisation in depth.
- I manage the campaigns directly and do not outsource the work.
The commercial reality
What often gets in the way
Creative fatigue
Product ads need regular testing as audiences and market conditions change.
Platform attribution
Reported purchases and business profit are not identical measures.
Product-page conversion
Clicks only become sales when buyers find clear, trustworthy information.
My way of working
From audit to better-informed campaigns
Understand the business
Review your market, sales process, website, existing ads and the outcomes that matter commercially.
Set up or improve campaigns
Align intent, creative, landing pages, budget and measurement without promising instant results.
Optimise using conversion data
I would check event setup and ecommerce purchase measurement before major budget increases, and use the results to recommend ad and website changes.
I can recommend website and content changes based on analytics and advertising data, as well as managing the campaigns themselves.
Questions answered
A couple of things worth knowing
Can you manage both Facebook and Instagram advertising?
Yes. Both are part of Meta’s advertising ecosystem, with formats and targeting chosen according to your products and audience.
Should I also run Google Ads?
Often it is worth assessing both, as they can address different stages of customer demand. The right choice depends on data and commercial goals.
