How do I measure the ROI of a social media campaign?

Use UTM parameters on all links, set up conversion tracking in Google Analytics or your e-commerce platform, and attribute revenue to the campaign source. Request post-campaign analytics reports from influencers including reach, impressions, and engagement data.

What is a good CPM for influencer campaigns?

Influencer CPMs vary widely: micro-influencers $5–$25 CPM, mid-tier $10–$50 CPM, mega-influencers $20–$100+ CPM. Niche and engagement rate matter more than follower count — a micro-influencer with 8% engagement may outperform a celebrity at 0.5% engagement.

Methodology Note

Click estimates assume 15% of engaged users click through — a conservative benchmark. Conversion rates from social vary widely by product, audience warmth, and landing page quality. Use these projections for planning, not guarantees.

How the Formula Works

Formula

Conversions = Reach × Conversion Rate Revenue = Conversions × Average Order Value ROI = (Revenue − Budget) / Budget × 100% ROAS = Revenue / Budget CPM = Budget / Reach × 1,000

Variables

ROASReturn on Ad Spend — revenue generated for every $1 spent

CPMCost per 1,000 impressions

Conversion RatePercentage of reach that completes a purchase (typically 0.5–3% for social)

Worked Example

$5,000 budget, 200,000 reach, 1.5% conversion, $75 AOV. Conversions = 3,000. Revenue = $225,000. ROI = 4,400%. ROAS = 45×. CPM = $25.

What Is a Good Social Media ROI?

A positive ROI (any number above 0%) means the campaign made money. A ROAS of 3–5× is considered a healthy baseline for e-commerce. Influencer campaigns in awareness-heavy niches may generate negative direct ROI but positive brand awareness ROI — track both metrics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Studies show influencer marketing delivers an average ROI of $5.20 for every $1 spent (ROAS of 5.2×). Top-performing campaigns in high-intent niches can achieve 10–20× ROAS. Below 2× ROAS typically signals poor audience-product fit.
