How Elite Cards Toronto Turned $17K In Ad Spend Into $1.49M+ In Platform-Reported Sales Value
Snapshot
The Campaign At A Glance
The challenge
Where They Started
Elite Cards needed a scalable acquisition engine — one that captured the collectors already searching for cards, sealed product and singles, while creating new demand with short-form creative and collector-focused targeting. And it had to grow beyond one campaign and one city.
Starting point — Nov 2025 — launch: $545 spend → $11.9K reported value.
What we ran
The Play, Step By Step
The hook
Live-sale clips and reels shot on the shop floor — the exact energy collectors scroll for.
The audience
Segmented into new, existing and engaged buyers, then widened Toronto → Montreal → BC.
The offer
Sealed product, singles and live breaks — matched to what each audience was already hunting.
The funnel
Google Search captured active intent, Meta created new demand — our creative fed both.
The climb
The Growth, Month By Month
Behind the ad accounts, the store itself tells the fuller story: Elite Cards' Shopify did CA$4.9M in sales across 24,080 orders in the year to July 2026 — up 110% year over year. The paid engine (Google + Meta) drove $1.49M+ in reported conversion value on $17.1K of spend to help get it there.

Ad figures are platform-reported conversion values from the Google Ads and Meta Ads accounts (Meta: 7-day click / 1-day view attribution); Google and Meta attribute independently and are not de-duplicated, so they are not audited revenue or profit. Shopify sales are the store's own reported totals.
