<p><strong>Hello and welcome to today’s podcast on the Economics of CRO.</strong> I’m Nick Powell, Optimization Architect with Digital Operative.</p> <p>Here is a question I get almost daily. Is it better to improve conversion rates before increasing my media spend? Or can I do both at the same time? So, today, we are going to take a look at how conversion rate optimization (CRO) can increase the impact of your marketing dollars.</p> <p>Here is the reality marketers are facing today. Media costs are rising.</p> <p><a href="https://www.martechadvisor.com/news/ads/85-of-marketers-worried-about-increasing-costs-on-facebook-reports-liveintent/"><u>LiveIntent</u></a> reported in an October 2019 survey that cost per impressions (CPM) on Facebook have grown 90% YoY for marketers, and that number only continues to grow. In that same study, 47% of the marketers worry that if costs continue to rise, they could be priced out of Facebook advertising.</p> <p><strong>Here’s where CRO can help.</strong></p> <p>Let’s start by setting up the following scenario, let’s call this scenario A.</p> <p>Let’s assume that you are spending $20K to generate 100K new visitors per month. Let’s also assume your current conversion rate is 2% and average order value $50.</p> <p>In this scenario, that amounts to $100k in revenue and a 5:1 Return On Ad Spend. This is a solid, profitable ratio on the surface. However as marketing costs increase due to more competition and other factors, your Return On Ad Spend will inherently decrease over time.</p> <p>This is where having a CRO program matters most. Improving site metrics has a direct and lasting impact on your Return On Ad Spend.</p> <p>So, let’s play out another scenario and then we will review some tactics that you can start executing.</p> <p>Let’s assume your media costs increase 50% to acquire that same 100k new users. Now your spend went from $20k to $30K. But at the same time, let's also assume you have increased conversion rates from 2% to 3% and AOV from $50 to $55 Your Return On Ad Spend is now 5.5:1, even with the substantial increase in costs.</p> <p>The obvious question is, great, so what can I do to impact CR and AOV.</p> <p>Well here are a couple basic tactics to get you started.</p> <p><strong>Conversion Rates are</strong> really just about driving quality product views by matching your content with incoming customer motivations. Behavioral data through testing as well as customer surveys can help to pinpoint these motivations.</p> <p>Learn more about <a href="https://www.digitaloperative.com/blog/2020/driving-digital-marketing-ROI-with-CRO/">Conversion Rate Optimization & Digital Marketing on our blog.</a></p> <p><br></p>
