Everything we do for retail brands

Six retail services. One South African team

From a seasonal promotion for a single store to a full Google Shopping and social campaign for a national online retailer.

Promotions & Seasonal Campaigns

Retail runs on the calendar. We plan and run the moments that matter for South African retailers: back to school, Black Friday, festive season, Easter, payday pushes, and clearance events. Each campaign comes with a clear offer, matching creative for social, in-store, and email, and a budget plan built around your margins. We brief the campaign, launch it across the right channels, and report on the sales it drove so you know exactly which promotions to repeat. See full pricing.

Social Media Advertising

Meta, Instagram, and TikTok are where South African shoppers discover retail brands. We run paid social that drives both footfall and online sales: geo-targeted store campaigns, catalogue and collection ads, video and carousel creative, and retargeting that brings browsers back to buy. Wynand is a Meta Business Partner, so campaigns are built on proper account structure, clean tracking, and creative testing rather than guesswork. Our clients average a 4.8x return on ad spend. See full pricing.

Google Shopping Ads

When someone searches for a product you sell, Google Shopping puts your item, price, and photo in front of them at the exact moment they are ready to buy. We set up and optimise your product feed, structure Shopping and Performance Max campaigns by margin and bestseller, and manage bids so spend goes to the products that actually sell. Cobus is Google Ads certified and runs every Shopping account hands-on. Ideal for online retailers and any store with a product catalogue. See full pricing.

In-Store & Online Creative

Shoppers should recognise your brand whether they are scrolling, standing in your store, or checking out online. We produce retail creative that works across every touchpoint: window and shelf graphics, point-of-sale, promotional posters, social and display ads, and product and lifestyle imagery for your online store. One consistent look, sized correctly for each channel, so every campaign reinforces the same brand. Strong creative is what makes the difference between an ad people skip and an offer they act on. See full pricing.

Loyalty & Email

It costs far less to bring an existing shopper back than to win a new one. We build the email and loyalty programmes that turn first-time buyers into repeat customers: welcome flows, abandoned-cart recovery, win-back campaigns, VIP and points tiers, and segmented promotions based on what people actually buy. For physical stores we connect loyalty sign-ups to your campaigns so you can market to your best customers directly. Every flow is tracked against repeat revenue, not just open rates. See full pricing.

Sales Reporting & Analytics

Retail marketing is only useful if you can see what it sold. Every client gets a monthly report that ties spend to results: online revenue and return on ad spend, store-level footfall and promotion uptake, best and worst performing products and campaigns, and clear recommendations for the month ahead. Reports are plain-language, with no jargon and no vanity metrics. For multi-store and franchise groups we roll store-level numbers up to group level so head office sees the full picture.

How we work

Simple, transparent, sales-focused.

Here’s what working with Juicy Designs on your retail or ecommerce marketing looks like from day one.

  1. Discovery & Audit

    We get to know your stores, products, and margins. Review of your current advertising, online store, and email. Competitor and pricing scan. We agree on the goal up front: more footfall, more online sales, or both.

    Week 1-2
  2. Campaign Plan

    A retail calendar mapped to your key trading moments. Channel mix and budget split agreed across paid social, Google Shopping, email, and creative. Clear targets set for footfall, revenue, and return on ad spend.

    Week 2-3
  3. Build & Launch

    Creative produced for in-store, social, and online. Product feed and Shopping campaigns built. Paid social and email flows launched. Tracking confirmed from day one so every sale is attributed to the right campaign.

    Month 1
  4. Optimise & Scale

    We test creative and offers, shift budget to what sells, and scale the winners. Seasonal campaigns slot into the calendar. Bestsellers get more support. Spend follows return, month after month.

    Ongoing
  5. Report & improve

    Monthly reports with plain-language insights. Footfall, online revenue, and return on ad spend tracked. We keep refining the mix until the numbers grow and stay growing.

We plan around your trading calendar, respect your margins, and connect in-store and online activity into one campaign.

Retail-specific

Certified across the channels that sell

Cobus is Google Ads certified and runs paid search and Google Shopping. Wynand is a Meta Business Partner and leads social media advertising. Both channels are managed hands-on by the founders, on proper account structure and clean tracking. That discipline is why our clients average a 4.8x return on ad spend.

No lock-in. Founder-led. Always.

Retail owners don’t need a long contract or a 40-page report full of metrics they can’t act on. We work month to month, so we have to earn your business every cycle. Every report covers three things: what sold, why it sold, and what we’re doing next. Founders Cobus and Wynand stay directly involved in your account.

Frequently asked questions

Got questions?

Straight answers about retail and ecommerce marketing in South Africa. No jargon, no runaround.

Does Juicy Designs do retail marketing in South Africa?

Yes. Juicy Designs is a retail marketing agency in South Africa working with physical stores, franchises, and online retailers. We run promotions and seasonal campaigns, social media advertising, Google Shopping ads, in-store and online creative, loyalty and email, and sales reporting. The goal is simple: more footfall in your stores and more online sales. We have been doing it since 2015 and our clients average a 4.8x return on ad spend.

Do you market both physical stores and online retailers?

Yes. We market single stores, multi-store retail chains, franchise groups, and pure-play ecommerce brands across South Africa. For physical stores we focus on footfall, local awareness, and catalogue promotions. For online retailers we focus on Google Shopping, Meta and TikTok advertising, email and loyalty flows, and conversion. Many of our retail clients run both, so we connect in-store and online activity into one campaign and one set of numbers.

How does retail digital marketing drive footfall and online sales?

Footfall comes from local social media advertising, Google Ads, seasonal promotion campaigns, and consistent in-store creative that gives people a reason to walk in. Online sales come from Google Shopping ads, Meta and TikTok advertising, retargeting, and email and loyalty automations that bring shoppers back. We track both in one report so you can see which campaigns moved revenue, not just clicks. See pricing details here.

Do you work with retail franchises and multi-store groups?

Yes. We run national brand campaigns alongside store-level or franchisee-level advertising, so head office keeps brand consistency while individual stores still drive local footfall. We handle shared creative templates, localised promotions, budget splits per store, and reporting that rolls up to group level. There is no lock-in contract, so franchise groups can scale stores up or down as needed.

Who runs retail campaigns at Juicy Designs?

Juicy Designs is founder-led. Cobus is Google Ads certified and runs paid search and Google Shopping. Wynand is a Meta Business Partner and leads social media advertising. Founded in 2015, we are rated 4.9 stars on Google across 200+ reviews, work with 64+ clients, and average a 4.8x return on ad spend. No lock-in contracts, real retail experience, and the founders stay involved in your account.

Client results

Real results from retail clients

Stores, franchises, and online retailers that grew footfall and online sales with Juicy Designs.

Festive footfall up 41% across 6 stores
“Our festive campaign used to be a guess. Juicy Designs built one promotion plan across all six stores, with matching social ads and in-store creative. Footfall was up 41% over the festive season and our best-selling lines sold through early. The reporting finally told us which stores and offers actually worked.”
Online sales up 73%, 5.2x ROAS
“Our online store had traffic but it wasn’t converting. Juicy Designs rebuilt our Google Shopping feed, restructured the campaigns by margin, and layered in retargeting. Online sales grew 73% in six months at a 5.2x return on ad spend. They manage it hands-on every week and the monthly report is the clearest we have ever had.”
Repeat revenue up 140% from loyalty
“We run a franchise group and every store was marketing differently. Juicy Designs gave us one brand campaign with localised ads per store, plus an email and loyalty programme we never had. Repeat revenue from existing customers grew 140% and our franchisees finally have creative that looks the part. No lock-in made it an easy yes.”
