๐Ÿ’ก ROAS: Measuring Advertising Efficiency

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) is the fundamental metric for evaluating advertising performance. It answers one critical question: for every dollar spent on advertising, how many dollars of revenue does it generate? ROAS = Revenue from Ads รท Ad Spend.

A ROAS of 5ร— means every $1 in ad spend generates $5 in revenue. However, ROAS alone doesn't tell you if you're profitable โ€” you must also consider product costs, fulfillment, and overhead. A 5ร— ROAS with 60% gross margins yields $3 in gross profit per $1 spent โ€” healthy. The same 5ร— ROAS with 20% margins yields only $1 โ€” barely breaking even.

$50K revenue from $10K ad spend = 5ร— ROAS. After 50% gross margin, your actual profit from ads is $15K โ€” a 150% return on your marketing investment.
