TESCO targeted couponing campaign delivered an average ROI of 400 percent

Really…?
Question:
How do you calculate ROI without knowing the margin of each manufacturer ... ?
Ans:
Spend 1000 GBP, we expect 4000 GBP sales…. Ahhhhhhhhh…..
Truth is ……..
ROI should be calculated based on incremental profit accrued from
the activity.
8.0% margin on average
Sales = 4000 X 8.0% = 320
Cost = 1000 400 % OR 32%
ROI = 320 / 1000 = 0.32 or 32%
