before you get a sale? What should be your target conversion rate?
Expert Answer
Answer 1.:
No. Of Clicks that the advertiser receives before their budget is exhausted = Available Budget / Cost
Per Click (Or CPC)
= 1000 $ / 2.50 $ (Both Values are taken the same as given in the question)
= 400 Clicks
Answer 2.: The spending of an Advertiser = No.of Impressions X Click Through Rate X CPC
= 60000 X 0.018 X 1 (Kindly note that we have converted Click Through Rate (CTR) into the decimal
form)
= 1080 $
Answer 3-A:
First, find the current CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) as mentioned below:
Step a. First, find the no, of clicks needed for getting one conversion or sale.
Here, it's given that conversion rate is 5%. It means that 5 out of 100 clicks would result in sales. Hence,
1 sale (acquisition) will take place for every 20 clicks (100/5).
Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) = No. of clicks needed for 1 acquisition (See the result of Step a.) X CPC
= 20 X 0.50
= 10 $ CPA
Answer 3-B
Now find the No. of conversions that can be got for the budget of 3000 $, using the following formula:
= 3000 / 10
= 300 Conversions
Answer 4.: Here, we will use the following formula to find the Target CPA:
Target CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) = Retail Price - Wholesale Buying Cost - Shipping Cost - Target
Margin
Where Retail Price = 50 $, Wholesale Buying Cost = 10 $, Shipping Cost = 5 $, and Target Margin = 20 $
Answer 5-A.: Here, we will use the above answers to find the No. of Clicks we can get before we get a
sale, as mentioned below:
No. of Clicks we can get before we get a sale = Target CPA / CPC
Hence, No. of Clicks we can get before we get a sale = 15 / 3 = 5 Clicks
Answer 5-B.: Here, we will use the above answers to find the Target Conversion Rate, as mentioned
below:
Target Conversion Rate (%) = The ratio of 1 conversion to the no. of clicks needed to get 1 conversion
X 100
= 20 %
