Why ad spend planning matters

Most brands either overspend (burning cash on untested creative) or underspend (never reaching critical mass). The right budget hits the sweet spot - enough to learn what works, scaled to stay profitable.

Stop guessing

A formula beats intuition. Know your ceiling before you launch a single campaign.

Diversify across platforms

Putting 100% on one platform is a risk. Balanced allocation lets you find where your audience actually converts.

Protect your margins

ROAS-based budgeting ensures every dollar you spend should come back multiplied. No more "hope marketing."

Scale with confidence

When you hit your ROAS target, you know exactly how much room you have to increase spend.

FAQ

How do you calculate the recommended ad spend? +

We divide your monthly revenue by your target ROAS to get your recommended budget. For example, if you make $50,000/month and want a 5x ROAS, we recommend $10,000/month in ad spend.

Why those specific platform percentages? +

The 40/30/20/10 split (Meta, Google, TikTok, Other) reflects typical D2C allocation benchmarks. Most brands start here and adjust based on where their audience converts best.

Should I spend my entire recommended budget right away? +

No. Start with 50-60% of the recommendation and scale up as you validate what works. Overspending before you have winning creative is the fastest way to burn budget.

What is a good target ROAS? +

It depends on your margins. Most e-commerce brands target 3-5x ROAS. High-margin products (software, digital) can afford 2x. Low-margin products need 5x or higher to stay profitable.

Does this account for retargeting vs prospecting? +

This is a top-level allocation. As a general rule, put 70% toward prospecting (new customers) and 30% toward retargeting (warm audiences). Mani can help you build both.
