🔍 Introduction: The Essence of Scaling


Scaling paid media isn't merely about increasing budgets; it's about enhancing efficiency and maximizing ROI. This paid media playbook provides a structured approach to scaling, ensuring each dollar spent contributes to sustainable growth.


🧱 Phase 1: Foundation Setup


Align Business and Marketing Objectives

  • Conversion Tracking: Implement robust tracking mechanisms (e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Tag Manager) to monitor conversions accurately.

  • Value Attribution: Ensure each conversion is assigned a monetary value to assess ROI effectively.

  • Enhanced Conversions: Utilize tools like Google’s Enhanced Conversions and Meta’s Conversions API for improved data accuracy.


Product Focus

  • Selection Criteria: Choose a product with high margins, lower competition, and a seamless customer experience.

  • Simplicity: Focus on one product initially to streamline marketing efforts and gather clear data.


Define Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)

  • Demographics: Age, gender, income level.

  • Psychographics: Interests, values, lifestyle.

  • Behavioral Data: Purchase history, brand interactions.


Geographic Targeting

  • Start Narrow: Focus on specific cities, states, or zip codes where your product has performed well.

  • Gradual Expansion: As data supports, expand to broader regions.



🚀 Phase 2: Campaign Launch


Smart Retargeting Segmentation

  • Engaged Users: Target users who have interacted with your site but haven't converted.

  • Non-Engaged Users: Re-engage users who bounced quickly with educational content.


Budget Allocation

  • 80% Acquisition: Allocate the majority of your budget to attract new customers.

  • 20% Retargeting: Use a portion of the budget to re-engage previous visitors.
