Setting a budget for your campaigns

Defining how much money to spend on a campaign is not an easy task. Below we share a few tips that might help:

Understand your revenue goals and work backward by analyzing the number of sales you would need. Then multiply that number by your Cost Per Purchase average.

The most important thing you can do as a business owner is learning the platform and KPIs to understand what is causing poor performance to allow for wise budget decisions. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to this.

And lastly, spending more does not directly equal better results.
