Real-World Calculation Example
Scenario: E-commerce Fashion Brand
A fashion brand runs a TikTok campaign to drive sales. They want to calculate their cost efficiency.
Cost Per Acquisition: $2,500 / 125 = $20.00
This is excellent for an $85 AOV—only 23.5% of revenue goes to customer acquisition.
Total Revenue: 125 × $85 = $10,625
ROI: ($10,625 - $2,500) / $2,500 = 325% (highly profitable)
Conclusion: At $20 CPA with $85 AOV, this campaign is extremely profitable. The brand should scale budget aggressively while maintaining this efficiency.
