Four reported market launches shared a working sequence: repair the foundation, make the product data useful, then decide where additional budget is justified. The markets were the UK, US, Romania and Bulgaria.
Different currencies, fulfillment conditions and starting accounts make these separate cases. The former “identical growth curve” and “every graph above” wording is withdrawn: this note contains no comparable dated series demonstrating identical outcomes.
Three lessons remain practical:
- Inspect feed and measurement before scaling. Product facts, eligibility, event quality and the destination constrain what the campaigns can do. Feed work alone does not establish a fixed revenue gain.
- Allocate by contribution and role. Identify which products and campaigns can support more profitable demand. Do not assume a universal 80/20 split or spread budget evenly by default.
- Prepare seasonal work early enough to validate it. Catalog changes, creative, offers and fulfillment need time. September is a planning example for Q4, not a guarantee that an account starting later cannot succeed.
The original retrospective listed £7M+ for the UK, $1.84M for the US, BGN5.7M for Bulgaria and RON638K for Romania. Their common revenue definition, precise measurement periods and attribution were not established in this note, so those values are not a cross-market performance comparison.
Use the maintained multi-market framework to compare readiness, local constraints and contribution in the next country. A flat account can have structural issues, demand limits, poor economics or several of these at once; the diagnosis should remain open.
