Budget Planning Tips

01

Start with 20% Test Budget

Allocate 20% of your total budget for creative & audience testing before scaling winning campaigns.

02

Diversify Channels Early

Avoid over-reliance on a single channel. A 3-channel mix reduces CPIs by 15–30% on average.

03

Track ROAS, Not Just CPI

A low CPI is meaningless without retention. Monitor Day-7 and Day-30 ROAS to find true efficiency.
