How everyone measures clients wise.
2
:CPA ROAS like what am I getting cost
per conversion, blah, blah, blah.
3
:But there's the return on ad spend.
4
:these are the metrics that
we should be counting.
5
:Typically, this is how
everyone measures client wise.
6
:no CPA ROAS, like what am I getting
cost per conversion buble one,
7
:but there's a return on ad spend.
8
:these are the metrics that
we should be counting.
9
:This is something that all of these
will have a correlation to each other.
10
:They all work together.
11
:obviously CPC is going to be
different than ECPNV, which is
12
:the effective cost per new visit.
13
:that's how scalable a campaign is.
14
:there's more here.
15
:Obviously, there's frequency, which is
good, but that's an app platform metrics.
16
:Most of these that you'll see here on the
screen, CPCs in app CPN rows are an app.
17
:Everything else is not really in
app, like in metal or in Google,
18
:in email clients, whatever it is.
19
:so by scaling as example, if
you're a CPNB is too high, Okay.
20
:It's really difficult to scale your CPC
could be low, but depending upon campaign
21
:type by channel, if your is too high,
that's what actually is going to be.
22
:It's going to be scaling because
as you add in dollars, your is
23
:what you're adding dollars to.
24
:So that's when you said, the
CPC is maybe not what they were.
25
:They want it as well.
26
:It could be or it could not be.
27
:it all depends on what the difference
between the e ccp NV and the CPC is.
28
:CPC is indicative of just
a click from a network.
29
:E ccp, NV is how many are new.
30
:A lot of times, those are
way different metrics.
31
:so that's one of the thing that I'm
gonna be, giving that speech about.
32
:but that's also something that to
give you, I'll just do, this last
33
:seven days, for example, on Facebook,
I think, like the 3 range, like 2.
34
:90 3 range, but it actually is
costing him 5 for every new visit.
35
:So when you're looking at the
difference between Facebook and
36
:Amazon, we'll discuss this part later.
37
:But when they started to pull
back, they're like, oh, we'll
38
:have an economy of scale.
39
:we'll pull back the spend
here and we'll do better.
40
:And it didn't.
41
:And that's because they started
losing more new visits that returning.
42
:So scaling up or scaling down is
having the same effect because
43
:they're not actually controlling the
difference between CPC and ECP and me.
44
:So when they pull back, everything hurts.
45
:So that's, what's interesting.
46
:All these are correlated.
47
:and that's why I'm saying it's so unique.
48
:It's really, it's the customer journey
and that's the real unique part is
49
:you never want to pull back more
new visits than returning visits.
50
:Then your economy is
scale moving up or down.
51
:So this is a really complicated scenario.
52
:Cause just massive and has
millions of users like a month, but
53
:that's just like the thing where.
54
:We really have to go one by one to make
sure that if we're going to scale up,
55
:we don't use the current performance in
app because that is a snapshot in time.
56
:That's one, maybe fifth
of the user journey.
57
:so that's how we want to make sure we
think about this traffic is if it's
58
:scalable, why or why isn't it scalable?
59
:The other part, actually, what's
funny is in that same presentation,
60
:this part here, This is just
something that's good for everyone.
61
:The glass ceiling of diminishing
profitable returns misinterpreted by ROAS.
62
:The red line is where you hit
a point of diminishing returns.
63
:And so Google, people
usually overspend on Google.
64
:We overspend on Google,
because we're a Google agency.
65
:Typically we have been, and that's
where it's yeah, but you guys
66
:are the ones that should go where
maybe that's not necessarily true.
67
:The diminishing profitable return
at the point of diminishing returns.
68
:Cause Anything that over attributes, you
can scale that thing right up to the moon.
69
:And it just always get a, show
you a good profit return, but
70
:it's not affected by the backend.
71
:Meta is typically under utilized
because it always has like a 1.
72
:5 return because it's always
started the customer journey.
73
:And then Google's always overspent
because it's always like the last
74
:30 percent of the customer journey
that we get attribute, which means
75
:that it's always going to look good.
76
:So this one's understanding this
one's overspending and then.
77
:We are always person on
the other end of the call.
78
:That's Hey, solutions, eight.
79
:why don't you spend more?
80
:You're doing better than meta
and you gotta save my ship here.
81
:But that's because we haven't
identified the glass ceiling.
82
:So when we're scaling a client, my
always thing is, what are they doing?
83
:What channels are they running?
84
:Apple levels?
85
:What is the customer journey
that they're going through?
86
:Are we starting a lot of the journey on
meta that we're overspending on Google
87
:and overspending on Amazon because,
we don't control Amazon and people
88
:are just dumping in brand spend there
and it shows a 10 X return, but it's
89
:started by something else like YouTube.
90
:So these are always those kinds of
like points where we look at is when
91
:you're looking at omnichannel traffic,
we can scale, but should we scale?
92
:are we in that part
here in this, scenario?
93
:we're already here, we're
past point dimension returns.
94
:And Regina, you're asked, take it up here.
95
:It may not be a good idea.
96
:what other things are we doing?
97
:And are we under utilizing any
other channels at the time?
98
:or that's why I think that we're
thinking about a customer journey.
99
:We're really simple.
100
:We're in a war of attention with
everybody else for a product people want.
101
:Period.
102
:That's as simple as this really gets.
103
:That's why meta does so well.
104
:And it looks like it does poor
is when is the war of attention
105
:because they have a higher frequency
where Google gets like one click.
106
:so those are ways to think about it.
