Deep dives
The Importance of Target ROAS Granularity
Many brands commonly set a blanket return on ad spend (ROAS) target across their entire product catalog, such as aiming for a 300% ROAS without analyzing individual product profitability. This one-size-fits-all approach can lead to significant financial misalignment, as products often vary widely in pricing and margins. For instance, a brand selling both high-margin and low-margin items could end up running unprofitable ads for certain SKUs while missing out on potential profits on others. To effectively compete in the market, it is crucial to assess SKUs individually and establish a more granular approach to ROAS that reflects the unique economics of each product.
