Facebook & Instagram Ads
We spend your ad budget where dessert sales actually spike: Eid gift boxes three weeks out, wedding mithai through the season, corporate gift orders before year-end, and short late-night pushes around your shop. Every campaign opens a WhatsApp chat or a pre-order page, and we track which boxes were actually ordered.
On the Pro package, PKR 70,000+ per month. Ad spend is separate and paid straight to the platform.
Why it fits
Dessert shops have three or four enormous weeks a year and nine ordinary months. Ads are most valuable in the build-up to those weeks, when families and offices are deciding where to buy boxes, and much less valuable on a normal Tuesday when your regulars come anyway. Older Rawalpindi buyers ordering Eid and wedding mithai still respond to Facebook, while Instagram reaches the gift-box crowd in Islamabad. A short radius campaign at night can also lift walk-ins for a newer shop in Bahria Phase 7 or F-11, but the big money is in pre-orders.

About three weeks before, with a pre-order deadline a few days before Eid. Families and offices in Islamabad and Rawalpindi plan gift boxes early, and capacity runs out fast. Ads started in the final week mostly reach people who have already ordered. Meta ad spend is paid separately.
They can be, aimed at people working in office areas like Blue Area and I-9 before year-end and Eid. Corporate buyers order larger quantities, so even a few orders justify the spend. A WhatsApp or form route that asks quantity and delivery date helps qualify them.

These are the questions we get on WhatsApp every week, answered the way we would answer them there.
WhatsApp usLightly, if at all. Small late-night radius tests or a new product launch can work. Most dessert shops save their budget for the gifting weeks, where the return is much clearer.
Yes, and showing a starting price often improves the quality of enquiries. Keep it accurate for the season, since sugar and dry fruit costs can move between one Eid and the next.
