What is Performance Marketing? A Quick Guide for Everyone

Ever wondered what “performance marketing” actually means? 🤔 Whether you’re in design, product, finance, or customer support — understanding this is key for our growth.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

What is it? Performance marketing is when we pay for advertising only when it drives a specific, measurable action — like a sale, lead, app install, or website visit.

➡️ Unlike traditional marketing (TV, print) where you pay no matter the outcome, performance marketing is results-based. You set a goal, launch campaigns, and optimize for maximum ROI.


🎯 Common Goals:

  • Drive sales (e-commerce purchases)
  • Generate leads (emails, signups, demo requests)
  • Get app installs
  • Increase website traffic
  • Boost engagement (video views, clicks)

📱 Examples of Performance Marketing Channels:

  • Meta Ads (Facebook/Instagram)
  • Google Ads
  • Affiliate marketing
  • Influencer or partnership ads
  • Programmatic/display ads

🔎 Key Metrics Everyone Should Know:

  • CPA (Cost Per Acquisition): Cost to get a sale or lead
  • ROAS (Return on Ad Spend): Revenue generated per $1 spent
  • CPC (Cost Per Click)
  • CTR (Click-Through Rate)
  • Conversion Rate

💡 Why it matters for every team:

  • Designers: Your creatives directly impact ad performance.
  • Product & Engineering: User experience affects whether paid traffic converts.
  • Finance: Marketing spend ties directly to customer acquisition cost.
  • Customer Support: Campaigns can increase support volume.
  • Founders & Leaders: Performance marketing efficiency determines scalable growth.

Performance marketing lets us invest wisely and scale confidently. 🚀
