Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ecommerce acquisition strategy?
An ecommerce acquisition strategy is a comprehensive plan to attract and convert new customers across multiple channels—paid ads, email, SMS, and more. It defines which audiences to target, which channels to use, what budget to allocate, and how to optimize for profitable customer growth.
How much should I spend on customer acquisition?
It depends on your margins and customer lifetime value. A good starting point is to spend enough to acquire customers at a CAC (customer acquisition cost) thats 3-5x lower than their expected lifetime value. We help you find that sweet spot through testing and optimization.
Which channels are best for ecommerce acquisition?
The best channels depend on your product, audience, and margins. Meta Ads and Google Ads are foundational for most ecommerce brands, while AppLovin in-app ads, email, and SMS add volume and diversification. We test channels to see whats most profitable for your specific business.
How long does it take to see results from acquisition campaigns?
Most channels show initial data within 1-2 weeks, but true optimization takes 30-60 days to gather enough data for solid conclusions. Email and SMS can show results faster, while paid ads need time to find and scale to your best-performing audiences.
