Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good DTC advertising strategy?
A strong DTC strategy integrates multiple channels (paid ads, email, SMS) with cohesive messaging and clear customer journey mapping. It focuses on acquiring the right customers at profitable costs while building systems for repeat purchases and lifetime value growth.
How much should we budget for DTC advertising?
Budget depends on your business model, margins, and growth goals. Most DTC brands allocate 15-30% of revenue to marketing, with paid advertising representing 40-60% of that. We help optimize budget allocation based on channel performance and your target customer acquisition cost.
How long before we see results from DTC advertising?
Initial data comes within 2-4 weeks, but meaningful insights and optimization typically take 6-8 weeks as we gather enough data to make confident decisions. Performance improves significantly over 3-6 months as we refine targeting, creative, and messaging.
Can you help with creative development for our ads?
Yes. We develop creative strategy, messaging frameworks, and work with designers and copywriters to produce high-performing ad creative for Meta, Google, and AppLovin. We also provide landing page copy and email content optimization as part of our strategy.
