🚨 Stop Losing Sales with Bad Signal
Insights from Jake Abrams
Did you know poor signal accuracy could be draining $200,000 from your brand every month? Even if your creative, landing pages, and offers are perfect, without optimized signal transmission, you’re leaving money on the table. Let’s explore the four main reasons why this happens and how 8-figure DTC brands can turn things around by maximizing signal quality.
1. Poor Event Accuracy
Meta relies on high-quality event data to target the right audience accurately. If you’re in paid social, you likely know about the Conversion API (CAPI), which uses server-side data to match users better.
Brands using advanced tools often see:
Better attribution
Lower customer acquisition costs (CACs)
If you’re a 7- or 8-figure brand, don’t settle for a basic CAPI setup—it’s the minimum, not the max.
2. Wasted Spend on Existing Customers
Many ad accounts waste spend on customers who would have bought anyway, especially for subscription-based brands. To fix this:
Differentiate between recurring customers and new acquisitions
Use custom conversions for “new customer purchases”
Track cost-per-new customer
This helps you understand whether your ads are truly driving new sales, rather than taking credit for purchases that were going to happen anyway.
3. Missing Retargeting & Email Audiences
You could be losing 15-20% of email revenue because your site isn’t identifying returning visitors. By implementing identity resolution tools and integrating them with your email platform, you’ll:
Add more people to abandoned cart (AC) and browse abandonment (BA) segments
Send more AC and BA emails
Drive more revenue from email flows
The better you can identify returning visitors, the more effective your offers become.
4. Lack of Predictive Lifetime Value (LTV)
To supercharge your signal, consider optimizing for predictive LTV. By feeding LTV data into Meta, you’ll:
Target customers with higher long-term value
Create columns in Ads Manager for pLTV and PLTV ROAS
