Meta is doing what it is designed to do: finding the easiest conversions.

World Cat has invested approximately $2,000–$5,000 per month in Meta advertising this year and generated 1,678 leads.

Performance has been strong, but lead volume has been concentrated predominantly in Florida.

At the current budget level, consolidating spend gives Meta the greatest opportunity to generate leads efficiently. The tradeoff is that markets already producing conversions can absorb a disproportionate share of the budget.

02
THE OPPORTUNITY

Stop asking every market
to compete for the same dollar.

01

Dedicated Markets

Commit budget to priority regions so each market has the opportunity to develop independently.

02

Season Audiences

Maintain consistent visibility long enough for Meta to learn which audiences and creative perform locally.

03

Regional Creative

Align models, boating lifestyles, dealer activity and events with the markets where they are most relevant.

04

Better Measurement

Evaluate lead generation and campaign performance by market rather than only at the national level.

03
CAMPAIGN SYSTEM

Two objectives.
One growth system.

01 AWARENESS + CONSIDERATION

Build Demand

Introduce World Cat to qualified boat shoppers and continuously build audiences that can later be moved toward conversion.

GOAL

Qualified website traffic and audience development.

CONTENT

Lifestyle boating, photography, fishing, cruising, family use, model introductions and feature content.

02 LEAD GENERATION

Capture Intent

Convert engaged prospects into actionable sales opportunities for World Cat and its dealer network.

PRIMARY CTA

Schedule a Sea Trial
Contact a Dealer
Meta Lead Form

CONTENT

Model-specific ads, direct-response creative, interest-led messaging, dealers and events.

03
RETARGETING Stay in front of the people already showing intent.

Aggressive retargeting across Meta and Google moves engaged users toward dealer contact, lead forms and sea-trial requests.

PER MONTH

Regional Growth

The $7,000 plan provides the strongest balance between increased market coverage and efficient use of budget.

Every priority region receives consistent investment while World Cat maintains its core national campaign. Performance can then determine where additional budget should be deployed.

EXPECTED OUTCOME

Build regional demand.
Support the dealer network.
Scale what works.

The goal is not simply to purchase more impressions or generate more leads.

The increased budget creates a deliberate regional growth system capable of developing markets outside Florida, building stronger local audiences and producing a more geographically balanced sales pipeline.
