How do I calculate Cyber Monday ROI?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm struggling to accurately measure the true return on investment for our Cyber Monday campaigns. I need a comprehensive method to track not just immediate sales, but the long-term value generated by these promotional efforts. How can I break down the complex metrics, attribute revenue correctly, and understand whether our Cyber Monday strategies are genuinely profitable beyond the single-day event?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

CM ROI = (CM Revenue - CM Total Costs) / CM Total Costs x 100. Total costs include COGS, ad spend, staffing, app costs, and fulfillment. Many stores have positive revenue but thin or negative ROI when all costs are included.

How to Calculate Cyber Monday ROI

Revenue is what you celebrate on CM night. ROI is what you calculate the following week. Many stores discover their CM was less profitable than it appeared when all costs are properly accounted for.

CM ROI Formula

CM ROI = (Net CM Profit / Total CM Investment) x 100

Net CM Profit = Revenue - COGS - Ad Spend - Fulfillment - Staffing - App costs - Returns
