08 — Key Findings
What the Data Says
Finding 01
CPA improved 26.3% year-over-year
$277.82 (2025) → $204.85 (2026 YTD). Despite higher daily spend (+30.7%), the account is generating more purchases per dollar. Purchase volume per day nearly doubled (4.3 → 7.7).
Finding 02
LSG's Audience Testing ABO is the CPA champion
$54.34 CPA on 12 purchases — lowest CPA across all 19 campaigns. Small spend ($652) but proves the audience targeting works. Scaling opportunity.
Finding 03
Video Views campaign spent $7,605 with zero purchases
LSG's Engagement Video Views CBO generated 1.14M impressions and 5,832 clicks but zero pixel purchases. It's optimizing for video views, not purchases — by design. Evaluate whether the brand awareness justifies the spend.
Finding 04
NRM's DPA TOF/BOF had the worst CPA at $316.61
$7,915 spent on 25 purchases. Dynamic Product Ads underperforming relative to prospecting campaigns. Now paused — correct decision.
Finding 05
MidFunnel ATC campaign at $393.48 CPA — worst efficiency
The PREV MidFunnel Hair ATC campaign optimized for add-to-cart events, not purchases. $5,509 spent on only 14 purchases. Optimizing for mid-funnel events doesn't guarantee purchase-level efficiency.
Finding 06
CTR dropped 40% while CPC rose 34%
2025: 1.43% CTR, $1.77 CPC. 2026: 0.85% CTR, $2.36 CPC. Fewer people clicking, each click costs more. Despite this, CPA improved — meaning post-click conversion rate improved significantly enough to offset the traffic efficiency decline.
Finding 07
Cart abandonment improved from 86.4% to 81.6%
4.8 percentage point improvement year-over-year. More people who add to cart are completing the purchase. Likely driven by better landing page experience or more qualified traffic.
Finding 08
Only 3 of 20 campaigns are currently active
85% of campaigns are paused. All 3 active campaigns are LSG. All NRM and PREV campaigns are paused. The account is running lean with concentrated spend.
