How to Read Your Results
Compare estimated revenue with total ad spend, but remember revenue is not the same as profit.
Cost per order is useful for judging whether your margin can support the ad cost.
ROAS above 1 means revenue exceeds ad spend, but other business costs may still reduce profitability.
Small changes in conversion rate or CPC can have a large effect on campaign performance.
Assumptions & Important Notes
- Each example assumes the daily budget is fully spent throughout the campaign.
- Conversion rate, CPC, and average order value are treated as steady averages.
- Revenue figures are gross order value only and do not include fees or fulfillment costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Etsy Ads example to compare with my shop?
Use the example closest to your own daily budget, CPC, conversion rate, and average order value. Then adjust the numbers to match your shop data.
Why do similar budgets produce very different results in the examples?
Because CPC, conversion rate, and order value can change efficiency more than budget alone.
Should I focus on ROAS or cost per order in these examples?
Both can help. ROAS shows revenue efficiency, while cost per order helps you compare ad cost with product margin.
Can I use these examples for weekly planning?
Yes. Change campaign length to 7 days to model a one-week campaign.
