Daily ad budget planning turns a monthly goal into a spend plan that can be checked during the month.
Example: If the monthly budget is 9,000 for a 30-day month, the simple daily budget is 300. If the first 10 days spend 3,900, the campaign is ahead of pace. The remaining 20 days have 5,100 left, or 255 per day.
Daily budgets should also reflect campaign learning, weekend demand, promotion dates, and inventory limits. A flat daily budget is easy to manage, but it may not match buyer behavior.
Budget planning should connect to revenue targets. If the store needs 45,000 in revenue from a 9,000 budget, the target ROAS is 5.0 before checking margin and profit.
