Client Success Story – Med Spa in Michigan
$337,007 Revenue Generated from $35,688 Ad Spend (411 New Patients)
This case study represents our first 10 months of data (& counting). Launching a brand-new Med Spa is a notorious stressor for both agencies and practice owners, as there is immense pressure to succeed from day one without the safety net of an existing patient database. While many agencies shy away from startups for this exact reason, this case study proves that when a “power couple” duo pairs a disciplined business plan with elite service standards, the results can be record-breaking. By aligning our high-intent marketing strategy with their operational excellence, we bypassed the typical “startup slump” and hit the ground running. To date, we have generated $337,007 in revenue from just $35,688 in ad spend, acquiring 411 new patients with an outstanding 9x return on investment. Most impressively, 145 of those patients have already transitioned into a true second visit at least one month after their initial appointment, proving the long-term viability of the brand. Now pacing toward the seven-figure mark less than a year into business, this practice serves as a masterclass in what is possible when a visionary owner and a dialed-in agency partner toward a common goal.
Overview
Outlining the Strategy
The core of our strategy was built on a fundamental med spa principle: in the early stages of a practice, you have to prioritize getting “butts in seats” to create trust through direct interaction. You can’t build a reputation in a vacuum; you need a pulse of consistent patient activity to prove your value. To achieve this, we leaned heavily into injectables as our primary lever for growth—a move we prioritize because of the unique psychological and financial “stickiness” of the service.
Injectables serve as the ultimate gateway in the aesthetic industry. Because these treatments require consistent maintenance to keep the result, they provide a predictable recurring revenue stream and high lifetime value (LTV). Once a patient trusts a provider with their face and sees a transformative result, they tend to be incredibly loyal to that practice. By focusing our initial ad spend on these high-trust services, we weren’t just chasing one-off transactions; we were building a database of high-quality, long-term patients.
This “injectable-first” approach allowed the owners to showcase their elite service standards and clinical expertise immediately. By getting patients through the door for these specific procedures, we established a foundation of trust that converted first-time visitors into a “sticky” patient base. This strategic focus is exactly what drove our initial momentum, resulting in 411 new patients and a 35% retention rate into that critical second visit.

Breakdown & Details
Building Fast by Creating Trust Through Experience (Butts in Seats)
Challenge
Launching a brand-new med spa is a high-stakes endeavor that most agencies avoid due to the lack of brand equity and the immense pressure to perform from day one. Without an existing patient database or local reputation to lean on, there is zero margin for error. For these practice owners, the success of their entire business plan rested on our ability to generate immediate, high-quality patient volume while simultaneously building long-term trust in a competitive market.
Solution
We bypassed the typical “startup slump” by focusing on high-intent patient acquisition, using injectables as our primary growth lever. The strategy prioritized getting “butts in seats” early to create immediate trust through direct interaction, knowing that once a patient trusts a provider with their face, they become incredibly “sticky.” By targeting high-quality leads for services that require consistent maintenance, we built a predictable recurring revenue stream and a foundation of loyal patients who value results over discounts.
