What is Return On Marketing Investment?
As a percentage ratio, ROMI demonstrates profitability or waste of an initial sum of money invested. Calculate ROMI with the following formula:ROMI = ((income from marketing – cost of goods – marketing expenditures) / marketing expenditures) * 100.If ROMI is less than 100%, then marketing investments were wasteful. If its more than 100%, they were profitable.For example, we need to understand the effectiveness of a LinkedIn Ads campaign. Monthly spending was $2,400, and the campaign generated sales of $31,200. Taking into account the cost of goods sold equals $24,960, calculate the effectiveness of the advertising campaign with the formula:ROMI = ((31,200 – 24,960 – 2,400) / 2,400) * 100 = 160%In this case, the ROMI equals 160% for the LinkedIn Ads campaign. That means that the campaign is profitable. The campaign, therefore, generated $1.60 of income for every dollar spent on marketing.
What is Return On Ad Spend?
Return on ad spend (ROAS) is one of the most specific revenue-based metrics to measure. To calculate ROAS, divide the total revenue generated in a particular marketing channel (like LinkedIn PPC) by the total spend.ROAS is an indicator of return on investment in advertising and is similar to ROMI. Calculate ROAS using the following formula:ROAS = income from marketing / marketing expendituresSuch a metric is similar to the ROMI formula without deducting the cost of goods and advertising expenditures.For example:ROAS = 31,200 / 2,400 = 13For each dollar spent, we gained $13, which at first glance seems like a lot, although from the return on marketing investment calculation, we know that ROMI is only 160%.
