FAQs
1. What does ROI mean in influencer marketing?
ROI measures how much profit a campaign generates relative to total campaign cost. A positive ROI means revenue exceeded cost. A negative ROI means the campaign lost money.
2. What is the difference between ROI and ROAS?
ROAS compares revenue to spend, while ROI compares profit to total cost. ROI is stricter because it includes costs beyond media spend, such as product seeding and agency fees.
3. Should I use manual revenue or calculated revenue?
Use manual revenue when your attribution platform already reports final campaign revenue. Leave it blank when you want the calculator to estimate revenue from conversions and average order value.
4. Why should I include shipping and discount costs?
These costs reduce real campaign profit. Excluding them can make an influencer campaign appear more efficient than it actually was, especially for product-heavy or coupon-led promotions.
5. What is a good influencer campaign ROI?
A good ROI depends on your brand goals, margin structure, and lifecycle stage. Performance brands often want strong positive ROI, while awareness campaigns may accept lower short-term returns.
6. Can this calculator compare creators across channels?
Yes. Run the calculator separately for each creator or channel, then compare ROI, ROAS, CPA, and engagement quality. This helps identify efficient partnerships and weak placements.
7. Why is my ROI negative even with strong engagement?
High engagement does not guarantee profitable conversions. Negative ROI usually means costs were too high, conversions were too low, or the attributed revenue was insufficient.
8. What does break-even revenue tell me?
Break-even revenue shows the minimum revenue required to cover campaign cost. If attributed revenue stays below this level, the campaign does not generate profit.
