Summary

How Honeybalm grew revenue 123% with server-side conversion tracking.

Honeybalm is an emerging skincare brand on Shopify that was losing conversion data to incomplete tracking from Cometly, with events missing from Meta in particular. After switching to TrackBee for server-side tracking, Honeybalm captured the conversions its old setup had missed and sent accurate, enriched data back to Meta. In the first three months, revenue grew 123% (from $103,000 to $229,000, about €95,000 to €212,000), ROAS doubled, and CPM dropped 60%. Better conversion data gave Meta's algorithm more to optimise on, and the performance followed.

The challenge

Tracking obstacles with Cometly.

Early on, Honeybalm had underestimated how crucial tracking was, and had never really considered switching tools. While using Cometly, they ran into a string of obstacles:

  • Incomplete tracking, with data missing particularly from Facebook
  • High monthly costs despite the limitations
  • Poor customer support that fell short of their expectations
  • A limited dashboard that needed constant manual checks
  • A lack of deeper insight beyond ROAS and CPA
  • Complex, challenging integration

"Initially, we didn't fully understand how crucial tracking was, and we had never really considered switching to another tracking solution. Luckily, we got in touch with TrackBee."

What we did

Optimising ad campaigns with TrackBee.

TrackBee took over Honeybalm's server-side tracking, capturing conversion events server-side and enriching them with first-party data, then delivering key events like Add to Cart, Checkout, and Purchase back to Meta through the Conversions API. That gave Honeybalm complete visibility across the customer journey and recovered events their previous tools had missed.

  • Accurate data tracking across the full customer journey
  • Easy integration that needed minimal technical resources

"TrackBee has helped us in optimizing our ad campaigns. Since using the tool, our statistics have improved significantly. From the beginning we saw great results."

ROAS doubled as Meta received accurate, complete conversion data to optimise on.

Meta · CPM
-60%

CPM fell 60%, from $10.80 (about €10) to $4.32 (about €4), as the ads became more relevant.

Cost savings from day one

Honeybalm saved significantly by switching to TrackBee, with the first $54,000 (about €50,000) of tracking free and reasonable costs after that. The pricing grew with their growth, which suited them perfectly as a start-up.

Real-time data, real-time decisions

TrackBee let Honeybalm monitor results in real time inside the ad platforms, so they could make quick adjustments for better campaign performance. Sending accurate data back to Meta lowered their CPM and made every euro work harder.

What does TrackBee do for Shopify brands?

TrackBee captures conversion events server-side and enriches them with first-party data, then sends clean, well-matched signals to Meta, Google, TikTok, Pinterest, GA4 & Klaviyo.
