When in Doubt, Do More – Volume Is the Secret

When a marketing campaign doesn’t perform, most people start tweaking the wrong things.

They rewrite the headline.
Change the colors.
Adjust the call-to-action.
Maybe even pause the whole thing to “rethink the strategy.”

But in reality, the problem isn’t always the offer or the landing page.
More often, it’s a lack of volume.

Volume reveals the truth

One ad campaign with five creatives is not enough.
You need 30. Maybe 50.

Why?
Because the difference between a losing ad and a winning one can be subtle.
Sometimes a 1% difference in click-through rate turns a breakeven campaign into a profitable one.

And you can’t find that 1% by sitting and guessing.
You find it by testing more variations.

Volume removes emotion from decision-making

If you only test one idea, you’ll get emotionally attached.
You’ll keep trying to fix it.
But with 30 ideas running, your mindset shifts from “how do I fix this” to “which one works best?”

Volume turns marketing into data.
And data tells you what to scale — without bias.

Volume wins because humans aren’t perfect

Even the best copywriters and designers don’t know exactly what will work.
That’s why top-performing teams don’t rely on inspiration.
They rely on iteration.

They don’t run one angle.
They test five.
They don’t make one ad.
They launch ten — then kill the nine that don’t work.

It’s not magic. It’s math.
