What went wrong and how we fixed it
1. Expensive auction at peak season
- Problem
- December is the most competitive month in US e-commerce. Bids spike, and a budget mistake costs real money.
- Solution
- We optimized bids for conversion value, not volume. Every day we checked that campaigns stayed profitable and didn't overspend.
364% ROAS$1.16 per click
2. Scaling without junk traffic
- Problem
- At peak demand it's easy to attract irrelevant traffic and burn the budget for nothing.
- Solution
- We launched Performance Max with custom audiences and an optimized product feed. Added dynamic remarketing for users who browsed but didn't buy.
2,308 conversions~$19.70 per conversion
3. Result stability
- Problem
- Results can't depend on a single "lucky" campaign — one hiccup and the whole month is gone.
- Solution
- Three core campaigns took 85% of the budget, and each returned 3.4× to 6.2× the investment. No single campaign was a single point of failure.
