ROAS: The road to success

Today, we'll take a look together at an invaluable tool for every marketer, which is the ROAS metric.

What is ROAS?

ROAS (Return On Ad Spend) is an invaluable tool for every marketer. It is a key metric to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Simply put, ROAS represents how much money you make for every penny you invest in advertising. In other words, how much we earned per penny invested in advertising.

How is ROAS calculated?

The formula for calculating ROAS is fairly simple. Simply divide the total revenue generated by your advertising by the total cost of that advertising. The result is given as a percentage.

ROAS = (Total Revenue / Cost of Advertising) * 100

Let's take a simple example, if you have spent 5000 CZK on your advertisement and at the same time this advertisement has brought you 15 000 CZK worth of sales, we will calculate ROAS as follows:

ROAS = (15000 / 5000) * 100 = 300%

This means that for every crown you invested in advertising, you got 3 CZK back.

If ROAS works out for you:

• Less than 100%, it means that the campaign is losing money, because 1 CZK invested in advertising will earn you less than 1 CZK. For this reason, it is not worth investing and continuing this advertising campaign.
• A 100% equal means that every 1 Kč invested will bring you 1 Kč back. Simply put, you have earned the same amount you invested in the ad.
• More than 100% does not immediately mean you are in profit. It just means that the sales have reached a higher value than the costs invested. But it's always good to remember that the higher the ROAS, the better.

How to increase ROAS?

There are several ways to increase ROAS, the main ones being improved advertising, more precise targeting and optimised bidding strategies. Below are some tips that can help you increase ROAS.

1. Ad optimization: regularly review and refine your ads to maximise their reach. Test different variations of ad copy and graphic visuals to get a chance to see what works best.
2. Targeting: A properly targeted audience gives you a higher likelihood of conversions.
3. Bidding strategies: adjust your strategies, use automated tools to help you achieve better results and in most cases reduce your costs.
4. Data Analysis: As in other parts of marketing, it is essential to analyse the performance of your campaigns and determine which areas are working and which ones need improvement. The data collected will help you in decision making, optimization and planning for future campaigns.
5. Personalisation: With personalization, you can increase the relevance of your ad and thus the interest of your audience to generate conversions.

It is clear from today's article that ROAS is an essential and indispensable indicator for anyone in marketing and business. Regular optimization and careful monitoring of this metric leads to improved campaign effectiveness and better results.
