An investment of $9,600 to generate 1,600 conversions with a CPA of $6
An investment of $9,800 to generate 1,400 conversions and a CPA of $7
Explanation
Analysis of Correct Answer(s) - The primary marketing goal is to sell excess inventory. This means the advertiser needs to increase the total number of conversions. - The current campaign generates 1,400 conversions. The correct plan projects an increase to 1,600 conversions. - This is the only option that directly supports the objective of selling more products. - It aligns with the advertiser's stated willingness to increase both the total investment (from $7,000 to $9,600) and the CPA (from $5 to $6) to achieve higher sales volume.
Analysis of Incorrect Options - An investment of $8,400 to generate 1,400 conversions: This option fails because it does not increase the number of conversions, which is the main goal. The campaign becomes less efficient without generating more sales. - An investment of $9,800 to generate 1,400 conversions: Similar to the previous option, this plan does not help sell more inventory as the conversion volume remains unchanged. - An investment of $9,100 to generate 1,300 conversions: This option is incorrect because it projects fewer conversions than the current campaign, which is the opposite of the advertiser's objective.
