Performance Based Ads for Retailers. 5X ROAS or You Don't Pay.
Built for retailers who've been burned by agencies. No setup fees. No retainers. No contracts. You only pay when we deliver.
Performance-Based Marketing That Works
Most agencies charge setup fees, monthly retainers, and/or a percentage of your ad spend , regardless of results. Our model is different: we guarantee 5X ROAS, or you owe us nothing.
Mutual Risk
If we spend $1,000 of your ad budget and generate $5,000 in revenue, you pay us a percentage. If we only generate $4,999? Our work is free. Our success is tied to your business growth.
The 5X Floor
The 5X Guarantee is measured monthly. We send you a report showing ad spend, revenue, and ROAS. If revenue directly attributable to ads is 5X spend or higher, we invoice. Below 5X, your bill is $0.
Direct Attribution Only
Say someone sees your ad but doesn't click—then buys online or walks into your store and makes a purchase? That sale is 100% yours. No charge. We only count sales from ad clicks tracked using the GA4 or Google Ads pixel.
The Dealbreakers
kPixies is not for everyone. For some business owners, the following two questions are dealbreakers and we can respect that:
1. Are You Ok with Us Owning the Ad Account? You own the other platform accounts (Shopify, GA4, Merchant Center, etc.), but the ad account we build is our IP.
2. Are You Willing to Pay More When We Earn You More? If we're underperforming, our work is free. But are you comfortable paying for results when we're earning you more sales?

Is a 5X ROAS guarantee realistic?
According to 2026 e-commerce ad benchmarks, Google Shopping delivers a median ROAS of 4.2X, with top-quartile performers reaching 7X+. Google Performance Max campaigns typically land between 3.5X–5X. Our 5X floor sits at the upper range of what average campaigns produce—and when we fall short, you pay $0.
This model works because we pre-qualify every client. We only accept businesses where the fundamentals (product demand, functional e-commerce, competitive pricing) support a realistic path to 5X+. When those conditions are met, our expertise in Google Ads consistently delivers above the median.

Audit. Restructure. Scale.
Audit
Phase 1
We audit your GA4 tracking, Merchant Center feeds, Google Search Console, and existing ads. Identify potential issues like data leaks and incomplete setup, as well as optimization wins and marketing opportunities.
Implement
Phase 2
We address any setup issues, configure conversion tracking, and start to build your Google Ads campaigns from scratch. All setup is free.
Launch
Phase 3
Campaigns go live. We monitor your account, confirm conversions are tracking correctly, adjust campaigns, bids, keywords, and work to optimize ROAS continuously.
Optimize, Report & Scale
Ongoing
In addition to being able to check the activity of your ads anytime you wish in Google Analytics, you'll receive easy-to-read monthly reports. If we hit 5X+, we invoice you. If we fall short, you pay $0. Once you're consistently reaching 10X or more, we usually suggest scaling your budget. But that is always up to you.

"kPixies exists so retailers never have to gamble on 'traffic' again. Only pay for provable sales."
Built by a Retailer. For Retailers.
Peter Benes helped grow a brick-and-mortar dancewear store into the largest retailer in its national vertical. Operating a 13,000 sq ft space with warehouse and nationwide shipping.
Along the way, he spent his own money on advertising that promised results and delivered reports. He learned Google Ads, Shopify, and analytics by necessity, because when it's your store and your money, you learn fast.
kPixies exists because Peter believes the agency model is broken for small retailers. Instead of charging you whether he wins or loses, he built a model where he only earns when you earn.
"I built this system because I was tired of burning cash on 'traffic' instead of sales. When you've spent your own money on ads that don't convert, you learn exactly what matters for a small business, and what doesn't."
"I only get paid when you get paid.
That's not marketing, that's a strategic partnership."
Credentials
Today, kPixies is a small, dedicated team managing 10–20 stores at a time. We don't hand you off to junior account managers or automate away the expertise. Every client gets hands-on attention from people who understand both the retail business and the technical side of performance marketing.

Are We A Match?
Our performance based marketing model works best for specific types of businesses. Before applying, confirm you meet our criteria.
You have a physical store location AND a functional e-commerce site (like Shopify) already generating online sales.
Your business generates between $1M - $5M in annual revenue—enough to invest in Google Ads but still needing every dollar to count.
You're tired of paying agencies for "traffic" that doesn't convert into actual sales and revenue.
You want transparent, results-driven performance marketing where you only pay when we deliver measurable results.
Not for dropshippers, service businesses, or companies without existing e-commerce revenue. Our model requires established product sales to measure against.
$5M–$20M in annual revenue? We offer a hybrid retainer + performance model built for larger operations. Schedule a consultation.
About the kPixies Offer
What happens if you don't hit 5X ROAS?
You pay us $0. That's the guarantee. If your campaigns don't generate at least 5X return on ad spend in any given month, we don't invoice you anything. We absorb the risk because we're confident in our methodology.
What's the minimum ad spend required?
We can start with a minimum monthly ad spend as low as $500. We actually encourage you to start small and grow your budget only when we're demonstrating returns. Any unused ad budget rolls over to the following month.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There are no long-term contracts. You can stop at any time. We believe in earning your continued business through trust and mutual benefit, not locking you into a contract.
How do you track which sales come from ads?
Through precise conversion tracking in your Google Analytics (GA4) account. We configure e-commerce tracking to attribute revenue directly to ad clicks. Only directly attributable online sales count toward our ROAS calculation. View-throughs and in-store visits driven by ad impressions are yours free. We don't charge for those. You have 24/7 access to the same data we use, so everything is independently verifiable.
Do you manage Meta/Facebook/Instagram ads?
No. We focus exclusively on Google Ads at the moment, including Search, Shopping, and YouTube video campaigns. This specialization allows us to deliver exceptional results on the platform most effective for retailers with high-intent search traffic.
What's the catch?
No catch. We absorb all the risk. If we don't hit 5X ROAS, you pay $0 and we eat our operational costs. This model works because we pre-qualify every client before accepting them. We only take on engagements where success is realistic. Peter's 25+ years of retail marketing experience means he's not gambling; he's leveraging decades of expertise and trusting in his ability to get sales from ads.
How long until I see results?
Most campaigns begin generating trackable revenue within the first month. Optimization is ongoing. Campaigns typically strengthen over the first 60–90 days as data accumulates and targeting refines. You'll receive monthly reports showing exact ROAS, revenue breakdown, and cost per conversion. Our goal is to get you to a 5X within the first 3 months and then grow from there.
What industries do you work with?
We work with brick-and-mortar retailers across categories including clothing and fashion, home goods and decor, sports and recreation, toys and games, dancewear, jewelry, and some niche manufacturing & distribution B2B businesses. The common thread: a physical location with a functional e-commerce site (Shopify preferred) doing $1M–$5M in annual revenue.
