The 1970 Store (Zippo)
1970store.com · Meta Ads · Google Ads
The 1970 Store — Bhawar Sales Corporation’s curated multi-brand store — used full-funnel paid to move Zippo lighters, fluid, inserts and collectors’ lines online, especially at gifting peaks.
The Challenge
- Zippo buyers are collectors and gifters — demand is spiky around festive and holiday windows.
- Premium pricing meant ads had to carry trust and gift context, not just product shots.
- A multi-brand Shopify store needed campaigns that respected each brand and collection, not blended spend.
What We Did — Role by Role
How each service worked inside the account, the funnel, and the website.
Google Ads
Brand-and-collection-aware search and Shopping — Zippo always measured as its own line, with gifting peaks planned months ahead.
- Collection keywords across "Zippo lighters in India", "Zippo refill", "Zippo fluid", plus collector terms like Anne Stokes editions.
- Gift-window campaigns scheduled for festive and holiday peaks with gift-oriented ad copy and sitelinks to the gifting collection.
- Shopping coverage via the store’s feed with Zippo product groups kept separate from Garmin/Casio/Samsung lines.
- Branded protection on "Zippo India" and "Zippo official" so the authorised storefront always claims the query.
- Budget shifting by brand line each month, reacting to sell-through and seasonal curve rather than a fixed split.

Collection-story creative that sells the emotion of Zippo — lighter + fluid cross-sell engineered into every funnel.
- Creative anchored to collections and themes ("Light The Dark", the flame wear’s colour, Anne Stokes) that collectors respond to.
- Dynamic retargeting from browse to cart, plus abandoned-cart recovery with urgency frames.
- Cross-sell campaigns pairing a lighter with fluid/inserts to lift average order value.
- Lookalike audiences from purchasers, refined by collections already bought.
- Seasonal creative calendar aligned with the same gift-window peaks as search, so both rails pull together.
The Outcome
- ✓Seasonal gift peaks captured with offer-led creative at the right weeks of the year.
- ✓Brand-level reporting that keeps Zippo cleanly separated from Garmin, Casio, Samsung and Weber lines.
- ✓Accessory cross-sell that lifts average order value without extra spend.
- ✓Spend shifted monthly based on hero-model sell-through and the festive demand curve.
