How Donohue Consultancy Scaled JM Embroideries Ecommerce Growth with a
Brands we work with

THE
RETAILER

JM Embroideries (embroideries.com.au) is a well-established Australian retailer providing embroidery and sewing threads, and many other supplies to customers across the country.

 

Working with Donohue Consultancy, JM Embroideries had already built a reliable ecommerce presence through its Neto store and consistent paid acquisition. Over time, however, rising competition and higher CPCs signalled the opportunity to evolve the strategy for the next phase of scalable, efficient growth.

NETO PARTNERSHIP

KEY GOALS

Achieve a 40% increase in total annual revenue

Accelerate online sales while maintaining profitability

Achieve predictable customer acquisition costs

Build resilience by diversifying beyond Google Ads

THE CHALLENGE

The challenge wasn’t underperformance — it was breaking through a growth plateau and meeting the ambitious goal of a 40% increase in total revenue year-on-year.
SCALING LIMITATIONS
The earlier single-channel focus had delivered solid baseline results but left incremental opportunities untapped.
LIMITED FUNNEL SOPHISTICATION
Campaigns optimised for direct conversions did not fully segment audiences by intent or stage.
UNTAPPED CROSS-PLATFORM POTENTIAL
Bing’s cost-efficient, high-intent search audience had yet to be leveraged.
RISING CPCs
Without funnel-based budget allocation, increasing spend was becoming less efficient.

THE SOLUTION DEVELOPED

Donohue Consultancy’s evolved growth plan was implemented in three key phases

Funnel-Led Google Ads Revamp

  • Re-architected campaigns into funnel-based segments (TOF/MOF/BOF).
  • Refined keyword targeting and applied conversion-focused bidding strategies.
  • Enhanced negative keyword management to reduce wasted spend and protect margins.

Branding & Strategy

  • Re-architected campaigns into funnel-based segments (TOF/MOF/BOF).
  • Refined keyword targeting and applied conversion-focused bidding strategies.
  • Enhanced negative keyword management to reduce wasted spend and protect margins.

Continuous Optimisation & Attribution

  • Integrated cross-channel ROAS monitoring to inform monthly budget reallocation.
  • Leveraged Neto’s ecommerce data for precise remarketing and advanced performance tracking.
  • Ongoing search and UX optimisation to support higher-funnel engagement and CRO.
