600% ROI From Ads
That Drove Real
In-Store Sales.
EBOOST needed paid social to do more than rack up clicks — it needed to move SUPER FUEL off retail shelves. We ran Meta ads paired with Aisle to drive incremental new customers into stores and turn every receipt into a trackable redemption, returning 600% on ad investment.
"First Spark is like a creative director meets CFO. They took over our creative production and media buying strategy and 10x'd our business in 2 years."

The Challenge
Great Energy Drink. Invisible Retail Sales.
EBOOST makes clean, high-performance energy that wins on the shelf — but proving paid social drove those in-store purchases, and that they came from new customers, was the missing link.
Retail trial is hard to prove
EBOOST sells SUPER FUEL through retailers nationwide, but in-store purchases are anonymous. There was no clean way to tie ad spend to product actually leaving the shelf.
Clicks ≠ new customers
Standard paid social optimizes to traffic and online conversions. EBOOST needed genuinely incremental new customers trying the product in-store, not budget spent re-reaching existing fans.
DTC ads, retail goal
The brand's growth depended on retail velocity, yet most of its paid-social playbook was built for the website. The channel and the goal were disconnected.
The Strategy
Meta Ads That Drove Measurable Retail Sales
Paid social usually struggles to prove it moves product off retail shelves. We closed that loop with Aisle — pairing performance creative with a receipt-based free-product offer that made every in-store purchase trackable.
01
Scroll-stopping Meta creative
We engineered a high-velocity batch of Meta (Facebook & Instagram) ads built around one clear motivator — free product — with hooks and proof tuned to EBOOST's clean-energy positioning and SUPER FUEL flavors.
02
An Aisle 'get 3 free cans' offer
Every ad pointed to an Aisle landing page: enter your phone number, buy 3 cans of SUPER FUEL at your local retailer, then text a photo of the receipt to be reimbursed via Venmo or PayPal within 24–48 hours.
03
Trackable in-store redemptions
The receipt-reimbursement mechanic turned anonymous retail purchases into measurable, attributable redemptions — so every ad dollar was tied to a real in-store sale and a new, identifiable customer.
The Results

Incremental new customers
The free-can offer was built to win trial from first-time buyers — driving genuinely incremental customers into retail rather than subsidizing existing fans.
In-store sales, finally trackable
Receipt verification turned anonymous shelf purchases into attributable redemptions, so paid social could be measured against real retail sell-through.
Paid social that moves product
Meta creative didn't just earn clicks — it sent shoppers to the shelf and put SUPER FUEL in carts at retailers nationwide.
