Key Takeaway
The campaign scaled spend 3.8x week-over-week and purchases grew 10x (4 → 40), which is a strong signal. But over half the budget is going to countries that don’t convert. By excluding the top waste countries and reallocating toward the 17 purchasing markets, cost per purchase should drop significantly from the current $59 average.
