- Ad clicks the budget buys
- 3,000
3,000 clicks should produce about 57 orders at the benchmark rate.
Deliberately cautious: it assumes you pay for stock, ads, packing and shipping before any money comes back. In practice couriers settle cash-on-delivery weekly, so some of that cash recycles and a real operation stretches further.
How much to spend to test this product
The smallest paid test that tells you whether people buy it: a small batch at home, a capped ad budget, and a rule for when to stop.
The plan
- 1Buy 17 units and spend up to €168.64 on ads — about 527 clicks.
- 2If €50.56 and 158 clicks bring no order, stop. At the benchmark rate they should have brought about 3, so the product converts worse than average.
- 3If you get 32 or more orders within the €168.64, the product passes.
Cash to have before you start
€530.93
Ad budget (maximum)
€168.64
Starter batch
17 units
Enough stock for the optimistic outcome, kept between 10 and 20 units so it fits at home and little money is at risk.

- €88.49
- Stop-loss
- €50.56 · 158 clicks
- Ad cost per order
- €16.84
- Earned per order before ads
- €5.31
Ads cost €16.84 per order, but one order earns only €5.31 before ads. To pay for the ads, 6% of clicks would have to turn into orders instead of 1.9% — more than even a well-tuned campaign brings. The test can show demand, not profit: raise the price, cut the supplier cost or try a cheaper channel first.
Click prices and conversion rates are Greek benchmarks, not measured figures for this product; real per-product click prices from Google Ads will replace them once that data source is connected. The total assumes every unit in the batch ships once and excludes monthly fixed costs.

Before you buy stock
- Ask the supplier for a landed price that includes delivery to you — a quote that excludes freight usually hides 10–20% of the real cost.
- Order one sample and ship it to yourself through the courier you chose. It verifies the packed weight, which is what the tariff is actually billed on.
- Check the cheapest offer on Skroutz every day for a week before committing. If it keeps dropping, sellers are clearing stock and your break-even moves with it.
- Treat the first advertising month as a cost of learning, not a profit centre. The "first campaign" band above is the honest starting assumption.
- If more than a tenth of your orders go to islands, quote a second courier for those addresses rather than averaging the cost across all customers.
The metrics above this section come from data providers. Everything in the calculator is a benchmark: published courier tariffs, typical Greek ad costs and standard platform fees. Replace any of them with your own numbers — none of it is a forecast of your sales. Assumes 24% Greek VAT, and the suggested price targets a 25% net margin. Both live in one config file and can be changed.
