DID YOU KNOW?

Half your ad spend is wasted on the wrong people

Many brands are still pouring money into ads with broad, low-performing audience segments without realizing how much it’s costing them.

Data shows that:

‍

60% of ad spend is wasted on people unlikely to convert—meaning half your budget often goes to the wrong audience.
Customer contact data decays by 2.1% per month, resulting in over 22% of your audience becoming obsolete within a year.
Segmenting by demographics or interests often fails; broad assumptions overshadow real purchase signals.

Get the most from your ads

Turn data-driven targeting into your competitive edge

Your webshop already has the data to segment audiences based on behavior and intent. The more you use it in your ads, the better the results:

By honing in on high-intent buyers and tailoring your ad campaigns, you can drive stronger, more consistent growth of your business.

AI-built lookalike audiences deliver lower CAC by up to 40%.
Segmented campaigns combining email and ads generate 760% more revenue than generic, one-size-fits-all blasts.
Businesses using personalized audience segments see up to an 80% increase in lead quality.
