Question: Take a look at the sample advertised product report shown below and analyze the different performance metrics. Which is the best performing campaign for advertising cost of sales (ACOS)?
- Designer fashion
- Fashion for all
- High street fashion
Explanation
Advertising cost of sales measures ad spend as a percentage of attributed sales. The strongest campaign for this metric is the one with the lowest ACOS because it uses less ad spend to generate sales. A lower ACOS indicates better cost efficiency, assuming the campaign is still meeting sales and growth goals. This metric is especially useful when comparing campaigns focused on profitability or efficient sales generation.
Why the other options are incorrect
Designer fashion has a higher ACOS, so it is less cost-efficient.
High street fashion has a higher ACOS, so it does not perform best for cost efficiency.
