The "Risk Arbitrage" Secret to Profitably Scaling Advertising Campaigns 🚀 I recently spoke with a business owner who was spending $50k a month on ads, getting a 3-4X ROAS (return on ad spend). He told me he wanted to scale but was worried about if it didn't work. I asked him if he was familiar with a concept called "Risk Arbitrage" And I proceeded to explain how he should think about the decision to scale an ad campaign based on the arbitrage opportunity that he has. Here's how it works: Know Your Goal: First, get crystal clear on what you're aiming for. Is it maximizing revenue? Increasing profit? Maintaining a specific ROAS? Do the Math: Let's say you're spending $50k and making $150k (3X return). What happens if you spend an extra $25k? - Good case: You maintain 3X and make an additional $75k - Bad case: You lose the $25k - Breakeven: You make back the $25k Spot the Arbitrage: Here's where it gets exciting. You're risking $25k for a potential gain of $75k. That's Risk Arbitrage - when your potential upside outweighs your downside. (note this is a simplistic example - you also want to factor in your costs & see where there are opportunities to optimize your existing ads) Make the Call: If you're aiming to maximize revenue, this is a no-brainer. Even if you don't hit the best-case scenario, you're likely to come out ahead. Think of it like this: If you walked into a Vegas casino and saw a game where you could triple your money 75% of the time, and only lose your initial bet 25% of the time, you'd play all day long! That's the power of Risk Arbitrage in advertising. But What If It Doesn't Work? Here's the kicker - even if you don't hit that 3X return, you're still winning. Why? Because you're gaining invaluable data about your ad performance and your scaling limits. This knowledge is pure gold for future campaigns. Remember, in marketing, we either WIN or we LEARN. There's no losing when you look at it that way! The Bottom Line - If your goal is to maximize revenue and profit, and you're seeing strong returns, don't be afraid to scale. Use the Risk Arbitrage framework to make informed decisions about when to push your ad spend. Of course, if you're looking to maintain a specific ROAS or have other constraints, you might need to approach scaling differently. But for many businesses, this concept can be a total game-changer. I remember a client we were working with who wanted to hit $100k/mo - and he didn't know why he kept getting stuck at $70-80k/mo, I took a look at his numbers and he was getting a 5x+ ROAS, I pointed out that he could simply increase his ad spend by $10k & even if his ROAS dropped a bit he would likely hit his target. That's exactly what he did & he overshot that target & ended up at over $110k the next month! That's the power of Risk Arbitrage!
