Biogena ONE USA spent ~$215,000 on Meta campaigns, generating 228 purchases at a blended cost per purchase of $942.48 and 0.09 ROAS. For products priced $60-$100, current spend is 10-18x revenue, highlighting significant profitability challenges.
The account recorded 1,520 adds to cart ($141.37 cost per ATC), but only 15% converted to purchases. Industry benchmark ROAS for health/wellness ecommerce is 1.8-2.5x. Optimization opportunities are primarily structural, not just bid-level.
Only 228 purchases across 112 ad sets (~2 per ad set) means few exit the learning phase (Meta needs ~50 conv/week). Fragmentation impedes algorithmic learning.
Campaign Performance: Top Spenders
Top four campaigns account for 63% of total spend ($136,049). Cost per purchase varies from $569 to $1,071.
Testing AO generated 78,235 clicks at $0.46 CPC. This CPC indicates inefficient traffic; the campaign is optimized for clicks, not purchases. Meta is finding clickers, not buyers.
112 ad sets use broad prospecting. Two "retargeting" campaigns ($870 + $250 spend) are misconfigured with exclusion logic, converting them to broad prospecting:
2025_Retargeting_AddtoCarts: $870 spend
2025_Retargeting_130225: $250 spend
Combined retargeting spend is 0.5% ($1,119 of $214,886 total spend), with no effective warm audience targeting in place.
Opportunity Assessment
Purchaser Exclusions
Only 8 of 109 ad sets exclude previous purchasers, amounting to $24,700 in spend. Over $190,000 of prospecting spend still targets existing customers.
92% of ad sets ($190K+) run with zero purchaser exclusions — advertising to existing customers.
Custom Audience Utilization
Only 2 ad sets ($5,160 spend, 2.4% of total) use custom (lookalike) audiences, indicating underutilized targeting potential.
Cart Abandonment Recovery
1,520 add-to-cart events yielded only 228 purchases (15% conversion). This leaves 1,292 high-intent prospects for strategic retargeting. Industry benchmarks show retargeting can recover 10-15% of abandoners at 1/3 the cost of cold prospecting.
Facebook Reels received $27,260 (12.7% of spend), generating 156,941 clicks at $0.17 CPC. This CPC is 10-12x cheaper than Feed placements ($2.03 CPC), but indicates low-intent traffic due to accidental taps from rapid vertical swiping, rarely leading to conversions.
Audience Network placements also received $2,336 with zero conversion value. Rewarded Video, for example, typically indicates low purchase intent.
Age Demographic Misallocation
The 65+ age group receives the most clicks (66,610) at the cheapest CPC ($0.55) with $36,373 spend. For a DTC supplement brand, this demographic yields high click volume but likely lower conversion. The current algorithm prioritizes low CPC, not high purchase intent.
Combined 55+ demographics account for 36.7% of total spend — representing segments with potentially lower purchase conversion.
Strategic restructuring can achieve industry-standard ROAS (2-3x) for DTC supplement brands. The performance gap is structural, indicating strong improvement potential.
