Weekly Performance Pulse
WK26 was Prime Day week. Donna's Recipe had limited event participation, so the read is stabilization over event lift.
Five-Week Trend
Prime Day created context, but limited participation means the core read is mix shift and paid-sales softness.

Next Week Focus
Keep the plan practical: protect the organic lift, rebuild efficient paid sales, and avoid chasing Prime Day noise.
Recover ad-attributed sales quality
WK26 ad sales fell to $11.7K and campaign ROAS dropped to 2.90. Reallocate from low-converting spend before increasing budgets.
- Audit top spend targets with CVR below account average.
- Protect exact/high-intent campaigns.
- Separate defensive brand from growth tests.
Use Prime Day as a benchmark, not an excuse
Limited event participation kept sales nearly flat, not breakout. Use WK26 to identify which ASINs held demand without relying on promo depth.
- Compare hero ASIN sales against WK25.
- Flag SKUs where organic dollars grew.
- Do not over-read event traffic lift.
Validate organic ratio strength
Organic ratio rose sharply because organic sales improved and ad sales declined. The next test is whether organic dollars can hold while paid quality improves.
- Monitor rank and branded query demand.
- Keep support on winners with healthy CVR.
- Avoid blanket bid cuts.
Budget
Hold Marketplace TACOS near 18-20% while shifting spend toward campaigns with stronger conversion and stable CPC.
Traffic Quality
CTR improved to 0.74%, but conversion rate fell to 15.86%. Prioritize landing quality and search-term intent over more reach.
Scale Path
Once campaign ROAS returns above 3.3, open controlled growth budgets on proven non-brand and Sponsored Brand Video tests.
Hold marketplace TACOS around 18-20% while bringing campaign ROAS back above 3.3.
The goal is controlled stabilization after Prime Day week: keep product sales above $27K, protect organic sales above $15K, and rebuild paid sales without expanding inefficient traffic.
