Meta Ads Performance Dashboard
Jul 1 – Jul 31, 2026. The full-funnel structure came online and became the account's primary growth driver, lifting spend and purchases while holding cost per purchase flat.
Main highlight
Profit margins are strong
The account is buying customers at $39 while the average order value climbed from $79.93 to $87.79. The original benchmark was a $30 CPA on a $50 cart, or 60% of cart value. At the current AOV, that same ratio gives a break-even CPA of $52.67, so the actual CPA is well inside the safety zone.

Next Moves
Priorities for August, based on what July proved.
- 01Shift more budget into MTBF retargeting. It still has room to scale before efficiency erodes.
- 02Keep the sub-$1 traffic campaign feeding the funnel that MTBF and BOF depend on.
- 03Consolidate spend into the winner of the Cost Cap vs. target-ROAS bidding test.
- 04Expand the Bundles creative angle into MTBF and BOF, plus cart-abandonment creative for catalog.
August Snapshot
Early August numbers show the scaling is holding up.
Scaling fast, still profitable
August is outpacing July
The account is scaling quickly and efficiency is improving. Average order value has jumped to $101.07 while cost per purchase has dropped to $27. That is well below the scaled break-even CPA of $52.67, so margins are expanding as spend grows.
