September is 120% of plan through Sep 12 on the back of the sale; the post-sale week ran 73% of plan on 84% of planned spend, and the September batch of 37 creatives is in the auction ahead of the Free Shipping window
Creative first: how evergreen creative held before, during and after the sale, every launch since Sep 7, winners and iterations, then plan pacing and channels.
Statlas actuals against the September plan. Sep 13 closes in Statlas overnight and is shown from Shopify and the ad platforms where noted.
The sale put the month ahead on revenue and margin; the days since are a seasonal trough, with the week's spend under its plan. $372.2K vs $311.2K and contribution margin $80.6K vs $58.1K; returning revenue 148% of plan carries the total. New customers 244 vs 244 at $225 CAC vs $206, most of that gap from the post-sale days.

Google non-brand is over its plan on both spend and revenue; Meta acquisition is under its spend plan with revenue 142% of plan. Google non-brand $18.6K of $11.0K for $72.7K vs $31.3K; Meta acquisition $34.6K of $37.0K for $93.3K vs $65.8K; Meta retention $85.7K on $5.9K; Google brand $43.8K on $1.7K.
The first full week after the sale (Aug 28 to Sep 3). Revenue $76.6K vs $105.0K (73%) on $19.0K of a $22.8K spend plan, so $3.7K of the week's budget is still available.
Returning revenue held its plan; new customer revenue is where the week ran light. Returning $38.8K vs $41.2K (94%); new customer revenue $37.8K vs $63.8K (59%) with 61 new customers vs 96 at $291 CAC vs $217. Every new order is worth $605 this week, so a handful of orders moves the daily number.

Two days carried the week; the pattern is order timing, not a trend. Sep 7 $19.6K and Sep 10 $18.0K ran near plan (85% and 97%); Sep 9 $8.2K and Sep 11 $5.3K were the light days. With orders this size, a single order is worth 3 to 6% of a typical day; read the week, not the day.
Three Motion windows: the seven days before the sale (Aug 21 to Aug 27), the sale (Aug 28 to Sep 3) and the days after (Sep 4 to Sep 13). Sale assets = creative in the Labor Day campaigns; everything else is evergreen. Meta pixel throughout.
Evergreen earned the click as well after the sale as during it; what changed is how many of those visits bought. Evergreen outbound CTR 2.5% → 2.7% → 2.8%; CVR 0.6% → 0.8% → 0.4%; cost per purchase $268 → $203 → $404. The post-sale window is 51 evergreen purchases on $20.6K, so each read below rests on a handful of orders.

Every creative with a Motion launch date between Sep 7 and Sep 13, measured over its life within the week. Offer-led launches first, then evergreen. Tints vs the account rate over the same span; none of these has enough spend for a verdict yet.

The September batch landed early in the month, persona-split as briefed; it is in the auction but not yet funded. 29 Welcome Offer launches have $754 between them (1 purchase on Foodie Love Crab at $222, 1 on Host Free Field Goal); the 8 evergreen launches have $78. Hosts, First Timers, Foodies, Gifters and Skeptics are all represented; the cold-start read is next week.
99 ads have their first spend in September, 104% of the pace the 220-ad floor implies by Sep 13; the count is on pace, the persona mix is not yet. First Timer holds 49% of September ads against a 16.8% target, because the Labor Day last-chance set and the Welcome Offer batch were both written to first timers and skeptics, and Host is on pace (26 ads against 24 due); Gifter (5 of 20), Foodie (11 of 24) and Splurger (3 of 11) are the lanes with room. Image is 40% of launches against a 35% target, so the image build is ahead. On moments, the Labor Day last-chance set (28 ads on Sep 2) closed the August window; Birthdays and fall occasions has 1 of 11 and One Last Smoke (Sep 13) has none yet. The Giveaway, Free Shipping and Redeem Your Points windows open Sep 15 to 21, and the free shipping kit is already in next steps.

Winner bar: $300+ spend, 3+ purchases, ROAS at or above the account rate this week (AKC orders are few and large, so 3+ is a signal, not a settled result). Attribute tables use the Motion taxonomy; iteration calls follow the funded winners.
With 34 purchases across the whole account, the winner list is a signal list; the two names on it are the same two that led before the sale. First Timer Behind the Scenes $1,662, 5 purchases, 2.25x (vs 1.68x last week); Host Not a Chef $424, 3 purchases, 5.75x. Together 8 purchases, 24% of the account.

Social Hosts, How To hooks and Montage cuts lead on real spend; gifting and Massive Size messages sit under the rate. Social Hosts 3.26x on $3.6K (10 purchases); Montage 1.88x on $6.7K; UGC 1.94x on $10.2K. Perfect Gift 0.16x on $1,224 and Massive Size 0.16x on $1,095 are the two messages to rest until a moment gives them an offer.

Next batch: Social Hosts and First Timers, How To and Social Proof openings, Montage and UGC video with a price line, no discount required; gifting and size claims wait for a moment with an offer. UGC Mashup (1.59x on $2.1K) is held rather than paused.
The twelve biggest spenders of the week (59% of spend) with chips vs last week, then the weakest funded creatives. Click a thumbnail to play; Curve + notes opens retention, why and the iteration.
Behind the Scenes improved on less spend; the two 4lbs Not Enough cuts and the Insense gifting video are the lines to read again next week. Behind the Scenes $1,662, 5 purchases, 2.25x vs 1.68x on $3,701; 4lbs Not Enough $1,520 per cut at 1.49x with 2 purchases each; Shannon Lee Gifting $749, 1 purchase, 0.26x vs 1.55x. Every card is a handful of orders; the chips show direction, not verdicts.

The weakest funded creatives are the May to August evergreen cuts that have not converted since the sale ended. Foodie First Time Fulfillment Highlight $392, 0 purchases, 0.00x; Host Feed Your Whole Party static $361, 0 purchases, 0.00x; Gifter Crab is the Gift $341, 0 purchases, 0.00x. Monitor through the Free Shipping window; if they stay at zero purchases, brief replacements for the same personas rather than pausing the campaign.
Mon Sep 7 to Sun Sep 13 against Aug 31 to Sep 6. Shopify for the store, each platform for its own channel. Last week was the sale week for every comparison below.
Every comparison is against the sale week, so the direction is expected; spend came down with it and CAC is the number to watch. Shopify $88.4K on 147 orders vs $372.2K on 529; 68 first orders vs 229; paid spend $21.8K vs $52.5K; MER 4.06x vs 7.10x, aMER 1.89x vs 2.88x, CAC $321 vs $229.

Ranked by this week's spend; tints against the account rate.
The Welcome Offer campaign, which received the September batch, is the acquisition line above the rate; Evergreen Testing is the one to review. Welcome Offer $3,535, 11 purchases, 2.03x; Evergreen August Batch $3,828, 7, 1.12x; Evergreen Testing $3,825, 1 purchase, 0.17x; retention $1,041, 5, 4.51x.

The sale and retention campaigns are the movers by design; Evergreen Testing is the evergreen line to monitor. Evergreen Testing $3,825 for 1 purchase this week vs 26 last week; its creative is the May and June set on the watch list. Read again after the Free Shipping window before restructuring.
Google conversions are model based and keep filling in for a few days after the week closes; read ROAS against the same campaign last week.
Non-brand search kept converting after the sale; Performance Max Crab did not. NB Search Crab 12 conversions on $2,316 at 3.90x vs 5.56x; PMax Crab 9 on $3,981 at 1.22x vs 4.37x; brand search 32.99x on $278.
