What is a good return on ad spend

Two common questions I get from clients are: How much should I spend on advertising and what is a good return on ad spend?

Andrew and I are tackling these questions today by breaking down the calculations you need to do to determine what a good ROAS is for your business.

We also discuss how to have an open conversation with your advertising agency and the first question you really need to ask yourself before you can realistically estimate the ROAS you need to be successful.

Enjoy!
