You're spending Rs 1-10 Lakh / month on paid ads for your food brand in Kolkata. Platform ROAS looks fine but blended ROAS is weak + CAC is rising. The problem is not that paid marketing doesn't work - it's that you need attribution + creative velocity + retention loops working together, not isolated Meta or Google campaigns.
Who this playbook is for
This is for founders + marketing managers + growth leads at premium snacks, functional beverages, wellness foods in Kolkata. Whether you have launched 3 months ago or 2 years ago, whether you are at Rs 10 Lakh / month revenue or Rs 2 Crore, the frameworks here apply to your stage - adjusted for your AOV + category + revenue tier.
Why Kolkata is different for food + beverage brands
