How Lumin

scaled  from

$2M to $60M

with international expansion

A step-by-step look at how one brand broke past growth limits by going global.

Discover the Strategy Behind the $60M Scale

The $10M plateau

that almost broke them

Like many DTC brands, Lumin hit $10M in the U.S. and stalled. Every new dollar in ad spend felt more expensive. Competitors were squeezing margins. Growth slowed, but payroll, inventory, and investor expectations didn’t.

“It felt like we were running harder just to stay in place.”
- Lumin Founder

The call that changed

their trajectory

Instead of fighting harder in an overcrowded U.S. market, Lumin tested international. They didn’t expand operations overnight. They just asked: “What if we tried the same playbook, in a new market?”

Copy. Paste. Launch.

Lumin didn’t reinvent their funnel or hire a new team. They simply took what already worked and duplicated it into new markets.

Their first international test looked like this:

Kept the same funnels and creatives, no extra production

Copied their top U.S. ads into English-speaking markets

Activated streamlined shipping + tax settings already in place

Fifteen minutes later, they were live, running the exact same playbook, just in front of a bigger audience.

$2M → $60M,

faster than they thought possible.

In just 18 months, international markets went from 0% to 50% of total revenue. U.S. sales held steady, international became the multiplier.
