Would agree with 15-20 as being healthy^
(Hitting this with one of our brands). I would argue it s a sign of a very strategic and relatively lean team.

Similar or same @Jared Mortensen
@Jesse Tilner like i said in some cases same as meta and other cases worse
#marketing-paid - October 29, 2025 at 07:05 PM
where its outperforming its spending upwards of $3k/day
#marketing-paid - October 29, 2025 at 07:04 PM
I have some accounts where its outperforming meta and others where its under performing but still doing well enough to sustain like $500/day in spend
#marketing-creatives-lp - September 26, 2025 at 07:14 PM
it is hella expensive - we use frame but air looks tempting. Curious if anyone has solid alternatives
#marketing-paid - September 16, 2025 at 08:23 PM
decreasing spend should help with efficiency but not with overall volume. Theres usually a sweet spot though- but yeah if the current performance is not viable and you can get same or better amounts of CM at lower spend, id do it
#marketing-paid - September 16, 2025 at 12:28 PM
Curious - how are you measuring this? And is this mainly new or returning customers?
#marketing-paid - August 11, 2025 at 06:40 PM
No
#jobs-and-talent - August 11, 2025 at 03:38 PM
Looking for individuals, no agencies please.

Looking to hire a direct response copywriter.

Ive seen different effects at various brands where Ive led growth.
Ive seen having amazon open as a channel actually detoriate blended MER across both channels.
Ive also seen having amazon open improve overall MER.
The key here is to consolidate the revenue, marketing spend, and contribution margin into one dashboard so you can track it properly. Then its just a matter of running hold out tests. When you increase spend, does Amazon rev. increase? Or, when amazon is not open, does your overall MER stay the same? If yes then it may not be worth having it open at this stage.
Lots of things to consider

@Alex Schinasi I would find a dev that can create a simple notification system that looks for this. Extremely doable and should not take more than 10 hours to setup.
#ops-supply-chain - April 22, 2025 at 02:36 PM
@Alex Schinasi apparently all tools will have a margin of error and the best route is to setup shopify automation flows to signal you when theres an order over $x amount for manual review
#ops-supply-chain - April 15, 2025 at 02:45 PM
Anyone have any recommendations for shopify fraud detection apps? Had someone circumvent shopifys detection system on one of my brands.
#marketing-paid - March 27, 2025 at 04:56 PM
it happens
#marketing-paid - March 27, 2025 at 04:55 PM
ya im not taking any risks then
#marketing-paid - March 27, 2025 at 04:53 PM
if thats getting messed with, then Id personally kill immediately
#marketing-paid - March 27, 2025 at 04:53 PM
just to clarify, when I say blended cac I mean All Spend / New Customers
#marketing-paid - March 27, 2025 at 04:51 PM
If its messing up my blended cac or something, almost immediately. If my blended biz metrics are okay, but my blended inplatform-CPA on the campaign is bad, I might let it run for a day or 2 to see what happens
#marketing-paid - March 27, 2025 at 04:48 PM
It happens - the machine isnt 100% right. If blended cpa of campaign doesnt improve or your blended business metrics are out of whack, kill it

#general-chat - January 09, 2025 at 09:09 PM
Appstle is the best hands down
#marketing-paid - December 16, 2024 at 09:24 PM
Yeah use to find the feedback score
#marketing-paid - December 16, 2024 at 09:23 PM
Yeah that can play into it but usually they would disable as soon as payment fails - did you check if its currently failing?
#marketing-paid - December 16, 2024 at 08:54 PM
But yeah meta is the worst company in the world to deal with re: support
#marketing-paid - December 16, 2024 at 08:54 PM
Check your feedback score as well
#marketing-paid - December 16, 2024 at 08:54 PM
Any payment fails?

#general-chat - December 02, 2024 at 07:50 PM
yep same
#general-chat - November 13, 2024 at 09:34 PM
Wow… kind of a wild case study
#marketing-paid - July 01, 2024 at 04:19 PM
@Charles Tichenor IV So you’re saying if I look at top spending creative, headline, primary text, and then find the post id that has all of those, its still not necessarily the top spending post id?
#marketing-paid - July 01, 2024 at 04:10 PM
You could figure out which post id got most spend though by looking at breakdowns by each element.
#marketing-paid - July 01, 2024 at 03:20 PM
Maybe - but you cant see how much spend each post id is getting with flexible ads
#marketing-paid - July 01, 2024 at 03:12 PM
I know. Its a widely reported issue rn.
#marketing-paid - July 01, 2024 at 03:11 PM
As of right now, you dont 😕
#marketing-creatives-lp - June 29, 2024 at 02:04 PM
Wait so, no one can put links in their bio anymore? RIP Dropshippers
#marketing-paid - June 12, 2024 at 05:56 PM
ahh the dreaded {{product.brand}} bug - i have no fix there unfortunately.
#marketing-paid - June 12, 2024 at 05:50 PM
and then the url will have the pfbid in it - copy that value and that is your post id
#marketing-paid - June 12, 2024 at 05:50 PM
open the preview, then click the date on the post
#marketing-paid - June 12, 2024 at 05:50 PM
ad preview + facebook comments works for the top spender only these days unfortunately.
but it does work.
#general-chat - April 29, 2024 at 04:49 PM
pretty normal! lots of people prefer to use paypal. usually once paypal is added, some stores will see a rev. bump
#marketing-creatives-lp - April 25, 2024 at 05:05 PM
Question for anyone using Lifetimely to pull LTV data:
How do you ultimately land on the final LTV figure that you trust? Here’s what I mean:
• lifetimely cohort analysis may show you an $100 accumulated average by month 6 (accumulating bc it includes all new cohorts that started on month 2,3,4, etc.)
• lifetimley order repurchase rate report also gives you a certain multiple that some plug in to this formula: AOV x Purchase Frequency
• others ignore lifetimely and just do total rev / total customers and use that.
Is one of the above more accurate than the other? Is there no true metric and you kinda just have to weigh everything against each other?
Would love some insight in how others view this. Thanks!
#marketing-creatives-lp - April 25, 2024 at 12:16 PM
new customers for sure. assumably, you as the offer owner would provide… the offer. So, in most AM cases within ecom they wouldnt be able to affect aov as much anyway.
