What to do
Last 7 days against the 7 before: Sales down 31%; Units sold down 23%; ad cost rose from 42.5% to 60.7% of all sales; the share of visitors who bought fell from 7.4% to 5.4% — I am finding the cause.
Why
Sales: $378: $546: down 31% — a weaker week. No money figure is on file for it. A move this size usually has one cause worth fixing.
If you approve
I make exactly this price / coupon / discount change — one product first, read back live on Amazon, then the rest — and post the proof on the ClickUp task.
If you deny
Nothing changes on Amazon. The task is closed with your reason and it will not come back in the brief.
Where it is tracked
not in ClickUp yet — the client's Cockpit page (http://100.82.186.49:7777/clients/PHY.html) shows it, and Approve files a task
How it ends
Ends when the cause is found and either fixed or put in front of you as a decision.
