Two growth levers.
One budget ask.

The account has a campaign structure that already converts. This is the plan to prove the next two levers, then fund what works with a higher monthly budget.

Lever 1Cafe use case campaign
Lever 2Scale the format across verticals
ThenConfirm capacity, lift the budget
01

The cafe use case campaign

A before and after story a cafe owner recognises instantly: the printed menu they reprint every price change against the screen that updates itself. Drag the slider.

3–8%

The proof point the ad leads with. Industry reports commonly cite a 3 to 8 percent lift in average order value for cafes after switching to digital menu boards. Upsells, combos and time-of-day promos do the work a laminated sheet can't.

THE DOCKET BEFORE

THE DOCKET AFTER

2x morning combo, sold on screen$25.80 1x choc cake, prompted on screen$8.50   

Illustrative docket. Not every order upsizes; averaged across all orders that's where the 3 to 8 percent lift comes from. The screen sells the combo, the upsize and the cake while the customer queues, without asking staff to push anything.

STEP 1

The ad

Before and after creative built on the story above. One visual, one claim, aimed squarely at cafe owners.

STEP 2

The landing page

Same story continued, plus a short case study. No new message to digest, just deeper proof.

STEP 3

The lead form

A free digital menu consultation. Low commitment for the cafe, high intent for the sales team.

This is not a new bet on structure. It's the exact funnel already converting on the Core Digital Signage Solutions campaign, pointed at a new audience. It runs as its own campaign so the results are readable on their own rather than blended into the proven campaigns.

02

The format doesn't stop at cafes

Gyms, retail counters and corporate reception areas all make the same visual case for a screen over a static sign. Same story, different wall.

Gyms

Class timetables, PT promos and membership offers that change by the hour. The paper timetable on the front desk is the "before" shot.

Retail counters

Point of sale promos and pricing that update across every store at once. No more printing, posting and hoping each site swaps the signage.

Corporate reception

Welcome boards, wayfinding and brand content instead of a static foyer sign. The most visible wall in the building, working for the brand.

Test in parallel, not in sequence

One or two of these verticals launch alongside the cafe campaign rather than waiting for that result first. The funnel and landing page structure is reusable across all of them, so each new vertical is a creative swap and an audience change, not a rebuild. Whichever vertical reads best earns the next round of spend.

The cheap win first: refresh PMax on YouTube

PMax is already spending on YouTube at a high cost per lead. The channel isn't broken, the creative is underpowered.

Refreshing that creative to lean on the same before and after visual is a lower cost way to lift an underused channel before adding new budget to it. Same asset production as the cafe campaign, so the video work pays for itself twice.

Confirm capacity, then increase the budget

The order matters. More spend only makes sense if the team can absorb what it produces.

FIRST

Can the team handle more leads?

Before pushing more spend, we confirm the sales team can handle a higher lead volume month to month. That's the only real gate. Nothing gets scaled until this is a yes.

THEN

Lift the monthly budget

If capacity is there, the account has room to take more budget efficiently. The funnel converts, lead quality holds, the campaigns are proven. What's capping growth right now is spend.

The constraint right now is spend, not lead quality or funnel performance.
