In a digital-first economy, brands no longer thrive on guesswork — they grow with data. That’s why performance marketing has taken center stage in 2025. It’s no longer about being seen; it’s about being seen by the right audience, at the right time, with measurable results. Whether you run a D2C brand or an established enterprise, selecting the right performance marketing channel is key to maximizing ROI. In this blog, we’ll explore seven powerful channels that can deliver high returns when executed with the right strategy.
Google Search Ads – Capture High-Intent Buyers
Google Search Ads remain one of the strongest performance marketing channels for businesses aiming to reach customers ready to convert. With intent-driven targeting, these ads show up when users are actively searching for your product or service. When optimized with the right keywords, ad extensions, and landing pages, Google Search Ads deliver high-quality leads and measurable ROI. At Badiya Brand, we recommend starting with a small budget, split-testing ad copy, and refining based on data. Google’s reporting tools also help fine-tune campaigns for maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Meta (Facebook & Instagram) Ads – Best for Visual Brands
Meta platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, provide unrivaled audience targeting capabilities. Their unique visual formats — reels, carousels, and stories — are ideal for creating brand stories. If you are performing advertising on Meta platforms, they have solid capabilities to help you achieve performance marketing objectives related to conversions, lead generation and catalogue sales. Their A/B testing (split testing) options enable you to conduct various tests, and pixel tracking ensures you will be able to track every rupee you spend. Visual appeal and engaging creative is truly important on this platform, so your ad creative must match your brand identity.
Badiya Brand will help you build scroll-stopping ads and set up performance marketing campaigns which properly develop your audience for maximum engagement and conversion.
LinkedIn Ads – Ideal for B2B Growth
For B2B organizations, performance marketing through LinkedIn is a paradise. LinkedIn Ads allows you to target the decision makers by industry, title, company size and more. You can use LinkedIn’s Sponsored InMail, lead gen forms, as well as carousel ads to promote whitepapers, case studies, and webinars. The average cost-per-click is usually higher on LinkedIn, but often the quality of conversions will make that cost worth it. If you set clear goals, you can report your ROI in pipeline metrics like qualified leads and demo requests.
Badiya Brand provides strategic Ad planning suited to your B2B objectives and audience personas.
YouTube Ads – Build Awareness That Converts
YouTube is the world’s second-largest search engine and an important performance marketing channel. This platform can leverage skippable and non-skippable video advertisements and bumper ads as well as YouTube Shorts, and can utilize storytelling while also advertising targeted media. You can use Google Ads and target by interests, behavior, or custom intent. YouTube also includes powerful remarketing options for businesses and brands to reconnect with viewers that have engaged yet did not convert.
At Badiya Brand, we can pen, shoot and optimize your video advertisements, and retain the attention of your audience in the first 5 seconds of viewing — which is the single most important window for conversions.
Affiliate Marketing – Pay Only for Results
Affiliate marketing is one of the lowest cost performance marketing channels, since you only pay if an affiliate sells something or drives a lead. This channel works best for eCommerce, SaaS, and other services that scale online rapidly. The main challenge is building a trusted affiliate network and managing its performance, in other words it pays to manage an affiliate program well. Good to make sure you’re using a proper tracking system, such as Impact, ShareASale, etc. Then you will want to ensure you’re providing high-quality creatives and probably good commission, so affiliates will push harder on your products.
Badiya Brand works, not only to help you find the right affiliates but to also build a forefront tracking system, measurably and transparently to help you scale your business as profitably as possible.
Programmatic Display Ads – Target at Scale
Programmatic advertising is a method for automating the purchase of display advertisements across millions of websites and apps. Programmatic display ads utilize real-time bidding (RTB), allowing us to reach hyper-targeted audiences based on variables such as: behavior, device, geolocation, and beyond. Programmatic display ads are particularly effective for retargeting campaigns or enhancing brand recall — particularly during longer sales cycles. If you’re engaged in performance marketing, a programmatic display ad campaign should be aligned to KPIs such as CPA, ROAS, or conversion volume.
Badiya Brand is using its Direct Supply Partner platforms to launch programmatic display ads that can target the desired audience and provide data to campaigns to help scale visibility without sacrificing your budget.
Email Retargeting & Automation – Drive Repeat Conversions
Email is still the unsung hero of performance marketing. Retargeting workflows and automation offer opportunities to get in front of users who filled-up their cart, signed up, checked in, or simply visited your site, but did not buy. You can use email apps such as Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or HubSpot to create relevant segmented campaigns that speak to the intent of the user. You can send emails for promotions, educational emails, or simply emails to build trust with your customer to keep your product in their mind.
At Badiya Brand we build customized email plans with A/B testing and analytics to increase your open rates, click-throughs, and revenue from repeat customers.
Bonus: Combine Channels for Full-Funnel Results
Every channel plays a role at every stage of the customer journey. Google Ads captures the high intent traffic, Meta captures the discovery stage, while email nurtures the leads directing them to conversion. An effective performance marketing strategy leverages these channels together to impact the entire funnel. Take for instance, a customer may first see your ad on Instagram, and then search you on Google, before converting from a retargeting email. At Badiya Brand, we specialize in creating omnichannel strategies to unify the messaging, budgets, and reports through all customer touchpoints that engine measurable growth
