Adwords
es….
Errores
en
SEO
Recordemos siempre que…
Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) vs. Customer
Lifetime Value (CLTV)
Para que sea sostenible, la ecuación tiene que lucir más bien así…..
CPA < CLTV
Depende de estrategias muy puntuales, tales como el Pedido Promedio * Average Order
Value (AOV) y sus márgenes

OTHER THINGS TO
CONSIDER & SOME MORE
TIPS
Don’t be afraid to test several channels and figure out what works for you
Don’t rely on one channel: have a mix
Data, data, data: Let the numbers be your guide
Depending on the channel mix, a good monthly test budget would be > £15,000-£20,000
Don’t forget to focus on the other fundamentals such as a strong, well-defined brand and
a flawless customer experience
And never forget: CPA < CLTV
