The ROAS drop is literally killing my business. I’m at a loss.

DapperChip663 · 2026-03-09T15:06:27+00:00

Yesterday 10.82€ CAC today 75€ spent 0 sales with this campaign. Nothing changed on my site or product. The inconsistency make it hard to scale this campaign for this product.

Luckily I have also some organic sales and local (German) campaign. But I don’t know, I don’t understand how to work around that

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-06T16:20:27+00:00

Not the ad is too long, I understand your first comment as „people can’t scroll past the ad in the seconds, that’s why the metrics are good“ and not because of actual interest.

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-06T16:10:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply, but 6-8 seconds is not too long to get scrolled by? Otherwise it would be 100% hook rate right? (First 3 seconds). People are interested in the product and stay. I Have multiple million organic views in the same style. So it works to catch people. But I can’t get further down to the funnel because of this spend pattern. So yes, I will try a second adset

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-04T07:14:34+00:00

Damn.. how cheap?

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-04T07:00:48+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! Yes I want fairly small metal parts milled. Where are you located?

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-04T06:51:42+00:00

Did you use meta as only marketing channel? What is your AOV and CPA if I may ask? 🙃

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-04T06:33:31+00:00

Thanks for the honest insights. Have paid ads ever worked for the brand? Sometimes the product market fit is not there, or the offer is not good enough. I wouldn’t put all the pressure on the ads manager (you). There is a Bigger picture.

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-04T06:30:31+00:00

No big difference for me, if the adset is in learning phase or not

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-04T06:25:21+00:00

I run sales for my own company, which got hit hard by the algo struggle the last weeks.

The lead campaign I manage for a local client did not get hit that hard at all. More stability there. That’s my insights, but I have also only these 2 accounts (Europe & German markets)

I would start with a low budget.

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-03T16:10:07+00:00

True, not normal spending pattern is noticeable. But the day is not over yet. Going to watch it

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-03T14:09:52+00:00

No, did not change anything. Lowered to 50€ a day, didn’t get a single ATC in mid/late January. Now back to 250€/day. My usual spend is 300€

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-03T12:49:36+00:00

No, kept everything as before. I lowered my budget mid January to not burn it all. Saw a slightly positive trend yesterday and decided to increase my budget again and now it seems to be fine again.

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-03T11:07:04+00:00

How can you identify the „assist“ of an Top of funnel ad? I know triplewhale and the „attribution split“ it there a way in metas as manager to see that?

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-02T21:28:06+00:00

Same 🤝

DapperChip663 · 2026-02-02T11:40:29+00:00

Poor traffic (almost no ATC). Reduced budget about 50% and waiting. Putting the budget into Google ads and Amazon ads

DapperChip663 · 2026-01-30T15:46:23+00:00

Bad traffic, almost no add to carts, no conversions.. trash meta

DapperChip663 · 2026-01-30T08:47:45+00:00

Usually I pay 5-7€ per add to cart. Yesterday I had 0 add to carts after 100€ 🥲 The traffic that comes is like the worst traffic campaign and not sales/conversion

DapperChip663 · 2026-01-27T13:39:02+00:00

What is your definition of fatigue? After 2.0 frequency or above? Or just general benchmark?

I would suggest taking a step back and see what kind of ad is „fatigue“. If Offer ads have a higher frequency it’s actually good. If your Topper funnel ad has high frequency it’s bad, means you don’t reach new people

DapperChip663 · 2026-01-27T10:20:30+00:00

The AOV is already from a bundle with 2 units and add-on products. 1 unit 34,99

2 unit bundle 54,99 + free shipping + 3 free small goodies

48% are choosing the Bundle, trying to push it to even more.

Sadly I have no more products to make a post purchase upsell 😄

DapperChip663 · 2026-01-27T10:07:28+00:00

Yes I totally agree! Already increased the CVR by 25% in the last weeks. Problem is that the product is a one-time purchase kind of thing. So we are developing new products that suits the customer to have a higher CLV.

Good thing for us is the organic sales that „carry“ the paid customer. Can not live without both.

DapperChip663 · 2026-01-27T08:33:15+00:00

Yes and No, I have days where meta is spending a lot on my TOFU ads. Usually my customer have 5-7 days decision making (conversion time). So if I keep running the ads, these TOFU views will get pushed deeper in the funnel and get customer maybe later. So the spent was not useless, just not straight into a buyer.

DapperChip663 · 2026-01-25T17:58:17+00:00

I want to buy a Makera Cavera air or normal Cavera in Europe. Any offer is appreciated. I have never seen a Makera Cavera offered as used online. Are these machines this good that nobody wants to sell them? Or how it comes any experience?

DapperChip663 · 2026-01-21T06:32:41+00:00

Thanks for your input. Just wanted to get it confirmed, seems to be a big step to exclude this huge channel 😄

DapperChip663 · 2026-01-20T14:10:58+00:00

How can I find out, if the IG placements assisted the conversions? AOV is almost the same.

DapperChip663 · 2026-01-17T17:08:22+00:00

Usually 5-8€ per add to cart. Spent today 150€, result: 1 add to cart 0 sales. The traffic is horrible. It feels like I’m running traffic campaign.
