Ecommerce and retail need catalogue ads and retargeting built around a live product feed, plus messaging campaigns for the customers who would rather ask a question before buying. Beefurb, a refurbished electronics retailer across Dubai and Sharjah, generated 43,717 WhatsApp and Messenger conversations from 7.3M people reached, using Meta as a direct conversation engine rather than a reach play alone.
Retail and sports brands with a physical footprint need awareness at scale to drive store visits and calls. Cosmos, a multi-location retail and sports business, reached 11.8M people on Meta, run alongside Google campaigns pointed at store visits and local actions.
Sports, fitness and education businesses need location-aware campaigns that route enquiries to the nearest branch. Karate Pro, a martial-arts academy across three locations, generated roughly 3,800 conversations and leads through Meta alongside its Google Ads account, with calls and WhatsApp messages counted as primary conversions rather than form fills alone.
The same principles extend to B2B and professional services, where Meta works best for reach and opening a conversation rather than as the primary lead-generation channel, which is usually better served by Google Ads and a considered landing page.
