We love acronyms. But just in case you're feeling a bit puzzled, we've thrown in a handy glossary at the end.
Return On Ad Spend (ROAS) is like the financial compass of the marketing world. It's the metric that reveals the magic happening behind your campaigns. For every pound you invest, ROAS calculates how much you make back. Essentially, it shows you the return of your advertising efforts.
ROAS plays a vital role in assessing the effectiveness of your marketing strategy, whether you're looking at the big picture or scrutinising the results of specific campaigns or individual ads. It's the tool that helps you make informed decisions and optimise your advertising investments.
Return On Investment (ROI) helps assess the effectiveness and profitability of marketing campaigns, advertising efforts and other investments. It allows businesses to make informed decisions about where to allocate resources and prioritise investments based on their potential returns.
In essence, ROAS specialises in evaluating the success of campaigns in revenue generation, while ROI offers a broader perspective by assessing the profitability of various investments, including marketing initiatives within a business.
ROAS: For example, if you invest £100 in an ad and it generates £500, your ROAS would be 5:1 or 500%.
ROI: The formula for calculating ROI is: net profit divided by the cost of investment, multiplied by 100. For example, if you spend £1,000 on marketing and yield £2,000 in profit, your ROI would be 100% ((£2,000 - £1,000) / £1,000 x 100 = 100).
The ideal ROAS can vary drastically depending on a few factors, such as the industry, your business objectives and the advertising platforms used. What would be considered a good ROAS for one business may not be for another. Having said that, there are some general guidelines to assess.
