What’s Driving ROI Right Now (And What’s Not)

You don’t need a bigger budget. You need a smarter one. 

Let’s be honest—uncertainty is the new normal. Costs are up. AI is changing the rules. Consumer behavior is evolving by the hour. And in boardrooms across every industry, one question keeps rising to the top: 

“How do we get more from every marketing dollar we spend?” 

At Primm, we’ve helped brands navigate every kind of economic cycle for over 50 years—from the dot-com crash to post-COVID pivots. What we’ve learned is this: the brands that win in unpredictable markets aren’t the ones spending the most. They’re the ones spending the smartest. 

Here’s how we help them do it. 

The Biggest Mistake? Going Silent.

When budgets tighten, the instinct is to pull back. To go dark. But here’s the truth: silence doesn’t sell. 

When you disappear from your audience’s feed, you don’t just pause your marketing—you deliver market share to your competitors. 

Where to Spend Smarter (and What to Cut) 

When The Shops at Carolina Furniture came to us, their social presence was active—but not impactful. Lots of content, low traction. 

Great marketing starts with clarity. That means using real tools to make real decisions. 

At Primm, we rely on:

• Google Analytics 4
• Meta Pixel
• AI-powered attribution models to map the customer journey and isolate what’s working.

Ask your agency: 

• What’s our true cost per acquisition—by channel?
• Which creatives convert best?
• Where are we wasting ad spend?

If they don’t have answers, you’ve got a bigger problem than your budget. 

The Tactics That Are Delivering ROI Right Now 

We’ve reviewed hundreds of campaigns this year across industries. The highest-performing ones have a few key things in common: 

What Your Agency Should Be Doing for You 

The right partner doesn’t just place media—they optimize performance in real time. They ask better questions. They adjust fast. They act like part of your team. 

At Primm, we don’t wait for reports. We build full-funnel strategies, deliver transparent results, and make creative that converts—not just “looks good.” 

Look for an agency that:

• Goes beyond impressions and into impact 

• Thinks strategically, not just tactically 

• Adjusts campaigns based on results—not guesswork 

Bottom Line: Spend Smarter. Perform Better. 

You don’t need to spend more—you need to spend with intention. 

With the right strategy, the right tools, and a team built for agility, you can get more leads, more revenue, and more clarity than ever—no matter what the market throws your way.
