Detroit Couture

Detroit Couture is a US-based online store that offers reasonably priced designer clothing and empowers women to be their own fashion icons. The store features premium looks for a variety of occasions: from comfortable clothes for wearing at home to party outfits and dresses for gala balls. Detroit Couture doesn’t discriminate against size and offers a great range of looks for everyone.

JuneRachele, the owner of Detroit Couture store, says that it is for “…the leader of the pack, the last one standing, in the front row, and always on the list.” The business has gathered over 13, 000 on Facebook and over 9, 000 on Instagram.

Challenge

Detroit Couture had two major challenges to overcome. First, the store was visited by many people, but only a fraction of them made a purchase right away. Detroit Couture needed a straightforward and sustainable way to nudge the fashion lovers to buy the items they were previously checking out on the website.

Secondly, since the mission of Detroit Couture is to offer great looks at an affordable price to as many women as possible, the store needed to reach out to more potential customers. However, it was challenging to deliver ads to highly relevant audiences and stay at a reasonable level of advertising spend. Finding that balance would require a lot of time and trial and error, which was unsustainable for the business.

Solution

Retargeting

About a year ago, Detroit Couture decided to address the first challenge with the help of Adwisely. The store started running Retargeting ads to reengage the store visitors. The ads feature the outfits that fashion enthusiasts have checked before. To help potential buyers make the decision, the ads also displayed similar items that could interest the shoppers.

Prospecting

Seeing a steady increase in ROAS and the number of sales after half a year of running Retargeting campaigns, JuneRachele decided to try the Prospecting ads, too. These campaigns target a broad audience of people that don’t know about Detroit Couture yet, but are interested in fashion. The ads are delivered to people who were looking for designer clothing and visited similar online stores.

Scaling a Fashion Brand with Automated Advertising

Detroit Couture’s success with Adwisely illustrates a pattern we see repeatedly in fashion ecommerce: brands with strong visual identity and loyal customers often underperform in paid advertising simply because the manual workload of managing campaigns is too high. Running effective ads across Facebook, Instagram, and Google requires constant attention to creative rotation, audience testing, bid adjustments, and budget reallocation — work that takes 10-15 hours per week if done properly.

By automating these tasks with Adwisely, Detroit Couture freed up time to focus on what they do best — designing unique fashion pieces and building their brand — while the AI handled the technical side of customer acquisition and retention. The high ROAS results prove that automation doesn’t mean sacrificing performance; in most cases, AI-powered optimization outperforms manual management because it can process data and make adjustments in real time, 24/7.
