An app developer has a mobile game that monetizes through in-app purchases. A large number of players are making payments, but the players quit engaging with the game after a few days. The developer decides it needs to mitigate both CPI and ROAS when buying media to account for the expected low LTV. This means that the developer buys for 20% ROAS by Day 7 and wants to maintain an average $5 CPI across all campaigns.
As a test, the developer wants to see if the LTV can be improved by buying slightly more expensive installs. The developer runs a Multi-cell lift test holding audiences, creatives and budgets constant across the two. In cell 1, the developer buys against the 20% Day 7 ROAS goal and $5 CPI, and in cell 2, buys only for the 20% goal ignoring CPI. The results are below:
Test cell | $ Spend | CPI | CPA(cost per engagement) | D7 ROAS | Additional CPA | Additional ROAS | % Lift in purchases |
Cell 1 (ROAS and CPI) | $10,000 | $4.83 | $79.36 | 22.5% | $5.50 | 0.22x | 102% |
Cell 2 (ROAS only) | $20,000 | $5.31 | $67.30 | 21.1% | $5.15 | 0.28x | 194% |
What should the developer do to maximize ROAS?
- Optimize both for CPI and ROAS
- Decrease CPI threshold and continue optimizing for both
- Increase CPI threshold and continue optimizing for both
- Optimize only for ROAS
