SkomEnterprises

Multi-channel e-commerce operations for beauty and skincare brands.

Most agencies grow your sales. We grow what you keep.

Run by an operator, not an account manager. We manage a US skincare brand across Shopify, Amazon, Walmart and TikTok Shop every day, and we bring that same operating discipline to yours.

Beauty brands rarely have a revenue problem. They have a margin problem.

Sales grow, the team grows, the channels multiply, and net margin quietly shrinks. It happens in the same three places on almost every account we open.

Ad spend that follows sales instead of driving them
Budgets set as a share of last month and defended, with nobody checking what each campaign returns after fees.
Channel silos
Four storefronts, four prices, four inventory guesses, and no one report that shows what the brand actually keeps.
Fee and listing decay
Storage on slow SKUs, unclaimed reimbursements, returns nobody reads, and ranked listings losing images and modules month by month.

A US skincare brand, 2022 to 2026

We have run this brand's day-to-day operations since September 2022, starting with Amazon and Shopify and adding Walmart Marketplace and a TikTok Shop. The numbers are real. The brand stays unnamed at their request.

Advertising was rebuilt around a target cost of sales per product rather than a budget per account. Advertising fell from about 24% of revenue to 8.5%. Revenue rose. Net margin went from roughly 45% to 60.87%.

What do you actually keep?

Put in rough numbers. The calculator shows contribution margin after advertising, marketplace fees, returns and product cost, and what changes if advertising ran at the ratio we hold on the skincare brand we operate.

$
You keep each month $10,500 21% contribution margin
Advertising
$12,000
Fees
$15,000
Returns
$2,500
Product cost
$10,000

At 8.5% advertising, the ratio we hold on the skincare brand we operate, you would keep $7,750 more a month, $93,000 a year.

Find out where yours is going

Rough model, not a forecast. Real fees depend on size tier, storage age, promotions and category. The audit replaces these sliders with your actual numbers.

How an engagement runs

  1. Audit

    Free. We review your channels against a fixed checklist and send written findings with the three highest-value fixes first.

  2. Fix

    The first four to six weeks go on corrections: advertising structure, fee leakage, listing health, pricing parity. These move margin fastest.

  3. Operate

    A weekly rhythm across every channel you hand us: inventory, advertising, content, creators, promotions.

  4. Report

    One page every Friday. Revenue, ad spend, fees, returns and contribution margin per channel, and the total you keep.

Kamran Tariq

An operator, not an account manager

Kamran Tariq runs every Skom engagement personally, and runs a US skincare brand across four channels every working day. That is the difference between a team that has read about TikTok Shop compliance and a team that dealt with it on Tuesday.

Skom Enterprises LLC is registered in the USA; a distributed team of 14 runs operations remotely from Malaysia. On Upwork: Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success, 4,900+ verified hours across 24 contracts.

What clients say on Upwork

Verbatim, from verified contracts.

Exceeded all expectations. Excellent attention to detail and work ethic. Kamran is one of the few freelancers on Upwork that is actually honest about the number of hours he works. A rare find indeed.

Questions founders ask first

Do you only work with beauty and skincare brands?

Yes. Skincare, cosmetics, hair, body and personal care. Narrow focus is the point: the fee structures, compliance rules, creator dynamics and return patterns in beauty are specific, and we run them every day for a live brand rather than learning them on your account.

What does the free margin audit actually include?

A review of your active channels against a fixed checklist: advertising cost of sales by campaign, marketplace fees and storage, listing quality and conversion, returns and refunds, and how your channels overlap. You get a short written findings document with the three highest-value fixes first. There is no obligation to hire us afterwards.

Who does the work, and where?

Kamran Tariq leads every account and runs the operating rhythm personally. Skom Enterprises LLC is registered in the USA and execution is shared with a distributed team of 14 operating remotely from Malaysia, which is how we keep pricing well below US agency rates without outsourcing to strangers.

Do we keep ownership of our accounts and data?

Always. We work inside your Seller Central, Shopify admin, Walmart and TikTok Shop accounts as authorised users. Every listing, campaign, creator relationship and report belongs to you, and access is removed the day an engagement ends.

How quickly can results show up?

Advertising waste and fee leakage usually change within the first four to six weeks because they are corrections, not growth bets. Ranking, conversion and creator programs compound more slowly. We report weekly so you see the direction early rather than waiting for a quarter.

Can you launch a channel we are not on yet?

Yes. Launch is a fixed-scope, one-time engagement for Amazon, Walmart or TikTok Shop, including catalog, content, compliance and an advertising structure ready to run. Most brands move into an Operate plan afterwards, but it is not required.
