The Bottom Line

Your ROAS improved 56% in just 8 days under new management. The foundation is solid.

The $58 AOV is your only bottleneck.

With aggressive bundling, better creative targeting blue-collar pride, and strategic budget reallocation to Google's 2.17x ROAS, FARM can hit $100+ AOV and 2.5x+ blended ROAS by October.

Time to stop raising morons about marketing strategy.
