The Secret of the 2% of Stores That Won Big on 8/3: Knowing Their Communication Cost Limit
Author: Height Media Commercial Strategy Director | Topic: Optimise Performance
For an 8/3 campaign to achieve a surge in traffic, collaborating with content creators (KOCs/KOLs) or running advertisements directly on the marketplace is almost essential. However, an alarming situation is that 98% of brands are spending heavily on communications without any tool to measure how much their profit margins can withstand.
They spend 30 million VND hiring a celebrity to film a product review, but do not know how many orders they need to sell to recover that cost.
1. Gaps in Communication Cost Allocation
On major occasions celebrating women, brands often invest heavily in their image and messaging. Producing meaningful films that express appreciation for half the world's population always requires a substantial content production budget.
If you distribute this huge communication expense across each product's selling price without careful calculation, prices become too high and competitiveness suffers. Conversely, sacrificing your profit to keep prices low means working for nothing.
2. Your Budget-Control “Weapon”: The Profit and Loss Calculator
What sets the leading 2% of brands apart is this: they always know when to stop. Cost calculation toolkit was created to solve precisely this budget allocation challenge.
-
Estimate costs per unit: The tool lets you enter the total advertising budget and creator hiring costs, then allocate this expense across the expected number of orders. You immediately see how much marketing cost each product sold has to carry.
-
Prepare response scenarios: The tool provides simulations. If a promotional video does not spread as expected and purchases are 50% lower, how will your profit change? Seeing the worst-case scenario ahead of time helps you adjust advertising bids or messaging before it is too late.
3. Mastering Business Economics
8/3 is an excellent opportunity for brands to impress customers with quality products and attentive service. However, behind the romance of gifts, businesspeople must keep a cool head. Every decision to release a discount code or sign a communication contract needs detailed calculations to support it.
