Our Process

How Sabre Scales Ecommerce Brands.

Whether you are launching a new brand from scratch or scaling an existing one, every Sabre engagement follows a clear, structured process. Foundations first. Then scale.

Sabre Digital works with ecommerce brands across London, the UK, Europe and the United States. We work with founders at every stage, from a product idea and a logo to established businesses ready to scale beyond six figures.

Foundations First. Then Scale.

Most agencies jump straight to running ads. That is the fastest way to waste money. Sabre audits, strategises and builds solid foundations before a single pound of ad spend is scaled.

02 Full audit

Deep Dive Audit.

Before any work begins, Sabre audits your entire operation. We analyse profit margins to calculate the KPIs needed for actual profitability, identify your ideal customer, map the full journey and flag exactly where revenue is being lost.

Profit and KPIs

Margin analysis to set targets that deliver real profit after all costs.

Customer Avatar

Who your best customers are and what motivates them to buy.

Store and Funnel

Shopify conversion review, checkout flow and mobile UX audit.

Ad Accounts

Google, Meta, TikTok. Campaign structure, targeting and spend efficiency.

Product Performance

Winners vs losers. Feed optimisation. Merchant Center compliance.

Retention

Klaviyo flows, email deliverability, SMS and customer lifetime value.

Competitors

Marketplace positioning, pricing and competitor ad strategy review.

Analytics

Tracking verification, attribution setup and data accuracy.

Full path mapping from first click to repeat purchase.

03 Growth strategy

Prioritised Growth Roadmap.

Based on the audit, Sabre builds a prioritised growth roadmap. Not a generic deck. A clear plan that identifies the highest-impact levers and the order they need to be addressed.

80% of your growth will come from 20% of the changes. Sabre identifies that 20% and focuses there first.

  • Prioritised action plan based on audit data
  • 80/20 focus on highest-impact levers
  • Clear timelines and expected outcomes
  • Covers acquisition, conversion, retention and automation
  • Realistic targets, no over-promising
04 Build foundations

Fix the Funnel First.

Before we scale anything, we build the foundations. Shopify CRO, proper tracking, Klaviyo lifecycle flows, ad creative and funnel architecture all get built before money is spent on traffic.

There is no point pouring budget into a leaking funnel.

  • Shopify CRO and conversion optimisation
  • Tracking and analytics setup
  • Klaviyo email and SMS flows
  • Ad creative production
  • Product feed optimisation
  • Landing page and funnel architecture
05 Launch campaigns

Launch and Test.

With foundations in place, Sabre launches paid acquisition across Meta, TikTok and Google. Because the foundations are solid, campaigns are profitable from day one.

Multiple creative angles, audiences and campaign structures tested simultaneously to find what converts and what scales.

  • Paid social campaigns (Meta, TikTok, X)
  • Paid search campaigns (Google Shopping, PMax)
  • Creative testing across multiple angles
  • Audience architecture and segmentation
  • Real-time performance monitoring
06 Scale and compound

Scale Profitably.

Once we have winning campaigns, proven creative and a converting store, Sabre scales spend while maintaining efficiency. Retention flows generate revenue on autopilot. Winning creative gets iterated. New channels get layered in. AI automation replaces manual work.

Scale Ad Spend

Increase budgets on proven winners while maintaining ROAS.

New Channels

Layer in TikTok, Bing, X or organic once core channels are profitable.

Iterate Creative

Test new angles, formats and hooks based on performance data.

Automate

AI content, reporting dashboards and automation pipelines.

New brand process

From Idea to Revenue.

Sabre has built multiple brands from scratch, including Eirlys Studio (£35k/day in 30 days) and NUMB'D (6 figures in 60 days). We handle everything from product strategy and Shopify development to paid acquisition and retention.

Tell Us About Your Idea.

Every new brand starts with a 30-minute call with Harry. We want to understand your product, your target market, your budget and your timeline. We will give you honest feedback on the viability of the idea and what it will take to get to market.

If the idea needs more work before Sabre gets involved, we will tell you what to sort out first.

  • 30 minutes with Harry, no pitch
  • Discuss your product and target market
  • Honest viability assessment
  • Budget and timeline planning
  • Clear next steps regardless of outcome
02 Market research

Validate Before You Build.

Before a single line of code is written, Sabre researches your market, competitors, pricing and positioning. We identify gaps in the market, analyse what is already working for competitors and build a strategy that gives your brand a genuine edge from day one.

Market Analysis

Size the opportunity. Identify demand, seasonality and growth trends.

Competitor Audit

What competitors are selling, how they are advertising and where the gaps are.

Pricing Strategy

Margin analysis, positioning and pricing that works for both customer and profit.

Customer Avatar

Who your ideal customer is, what they care about and how to reach them.

Brand Positioning

How your brand sits in the market. What makes it different and worth choosing.

Channel Strategy

Which acquisition channels to launch first and in what order to scale.

03 Build everything

Bespoke Shopify Store From Scratch.

Sabre builds your entire Shopify store from scratch. Custom Liquid sections, conversion-first architecture, product pages designed to sell and a checkout flow optimised for your specific product and audience.

We also set up Klaviyo from day one (welcome series, abandoned cart, post-purchase) so you are capturing and converting email subscribers from the first visitor.

  • Bespoke Shopify store, custom coded
  • Product pages designed to convert
  • Checkout and funnel optimisation
  • Klaviyo flows live from day one
  • Analytics and tracking setup
  • Product feed and Merchant Center setup
  • Policy pages for ad platform compliance
04 Content and creative

Product Content at Scale.

New brands rarely have the photography and creative assets needed to run ads effectively. Sabre uses AI content systems to generate product imagery, lifestyle shots and ad creative at a fraction of the cost and timeline of traditional production.

We also produce direct response ad creative for Meta, TikTok and Google, tested across multiple angles from launch day.

  • AI-generated product photography
  • Lifestyle and editorial imagery
  • Video ad creative for Meta and TikTok
  • Static ad creative for all platforms
  • UGC sourcing and production
  • Product descriptions and copy
05 Launch campaigns

Go Live and Sell.

With the store built, content ready and Klaviyo live, Sabre launches paid acquisition across Google and Meta. For new brands we typically start with Google Shopping to capture existing demand, then layer in Meta and TikTok for demand generation.

The goal in month one is proof of concept: validate that the product sells, the unit economics work and the ads are profitable.

  • Google Shopping and Search campaigns
  • Meta Ads with tested creative angles
  • Structured testing across audiences
  • Real-time ROAS and CPA monitoring
  • Daily optimisation in the first 30 days
06 Scale and compound

Scale What Works.

Once proof of concept is validated, Sabre scales the winning campaigns, iterates creative and layers in new channels. This is the phase where Eirlys went from launch to £35k/day and NUMB'D hit six figures in 60 days.

Scale Winners

Increase budgets on proven campaigns while maintaining profitability.

New Channels

Layer in TikTok, Bing, organic and affiliate once core channels work.

Iterate Creative

New angles, formats and hooks tested weekly based on performance.

Retention

Expand Klaviyo flows, build loyalty and increase customer LTV.
