The Retargeting Trap: More New Customers on Half the Spend

By Scott Desgrosseilliers on Dec 12, 2025 9:00:00 AM

What is the Retargeting Trap?

The Retargeting Trap is a marketing failure where brands unknowingly dedicate their budget to re-acquiring existing customers rather than finding new ones. This leads to a "Treacherous Paradox": platform ROAS appears high (6x–10x), but actual new customer growth remains flat. By using FunnelVision to audit retargeting loops, brands like SweetLegs have generated more revenue on 50% less spend.

The Direct Conversion Black Hole: Why 40% of Your Revenue Is Untracked (And How to Fix It)

By Scott Desgrosseilliers on Dec 11, 2025 3:39:51 AM

What is the Direct Conversion Black Hole?

The Direct Conversion Black Hole is an attribution failure where platforms like GA4 or Shopify attribute 30-40% of sales to the "Direct" channel, masking the original marketing clicks. This happens when a customer's journey begins with a paid ad but ends with a direct URL entry days later. Wicked Reports fixes this by linking Top-of-Funnel (TOF) clicks to final conversions, typically reducing "Direct" revenue reports to under 10%.

wicked reports: get accurate roi on pinterest ads

It's new! Pinterest cost integration is available now with Wicked Reports.

First party attribution data from Wicked Reports captures the entire buying cycle of leads generated from all your marketing activities. The tricky part with Pinterest is that these leads are often in the research phase and can take a long time to buy. Other marketing activities may help generate the sale, but you want to attribute that sale back to Pinterest for the most accurate ROI possible
