A tattoo studio had strong creative work, but it needed a commercial system capable of turning attention into enquiries, bookings, deposits and completed payments.
Ace House Media completely built the studio's sales funnel from scratch. We connected paid acquisition to lead capture and revenue tracking, giving the business a clear path from ad spend to booked work.
Across two consecutive reporting periods, the system generated 1,915 leads from ₹77,043.46 in ad spend. The studio recorded ₹9,62,667 in sales and deposits, producing a blended return on ad spend of 12.5x.
The challenge
Tattoo marketing often stops at visual attention. Strong artwork may earn views, likes and enquiries, but without a clear follow-up and booking path, demand can disappear between the first message and the deposit.
The studio needed a complete sales funnel, not isolated ad campaigns. The objective was to generate demand, capture every lead, move serious prospects toward a booking, and connect marketing spend to money recorded by the business.
The sales funnel we built
Paid acquisition designed around leads
We structured the advertising account to generate enquiries at a sustainable cost. Multiple campaigns created room to test audiences and offers while measuring lead volume and cost per lead at campaign level.
A clear path from enquiry to booking
The funnel gave each lead an intentional next step. Rather than letting enquiries sit as disconnected messages, the process moved potential clients toward consultation, design discussion, quotation and deposit.
Deposit and payment tracking
We connected lead generation to the studio's commercial records. Deposits and completed payments were tracked alongside campaign spend, allowing the team to evaluate performance using return on ad spend instead of surface-level engagement.
Performance optimisation across the full journey
We measured the system using leads, cost per lead, tracked sales and deposits, and return on ad spend. This made it easier to identify whether the next improvement belonged in the ad, the enquiry process or the close.
The result
The tattoo studio generated 1,915 leads at a blended cost of ₹40.23 per lead. Those campaigns were connected to ₹9,62,667 in recorded sales and deposits, producing a 12.5x blended ROAS.
Performance also held across both reporting periods, with tracked ROAS remaining above 12x in each. That consistency matters. It shows the result came from a functioning acquisition and sales system, not one short-lived campaign spike.
Why this worked
The work connected the stages that tattoo studios often manage separately: creative attention, paid acquisition, enquiry handling, booking intent, deposit collection and revenue tracking.
That connection gave the studio more than leads. It created a repeatable way to turn demand into booked work and showed the team where marketing was producing commercial value.
This is Ace House Media's approach to tattoo studio marketing: build the whole revenue journey, measure the points that matter, and optimise the weakest part of the system.
How the results were measured
The figures above were calculated from the studio's advertising and sales workbook across two consecutive reporting periods. Tracked value includes the sales and deposits recorded in the source. Cost per lead and return on ad spend were recalculated from the combined totals.
