Audience Size Assessment for ABM Display Campaigns

Your current audience is likely too small for effective ABM campaigns on most display platforms.

Realistic Audience Numbers

  • Starting contacts: 2,500
  • After data accuracy adjustment (85% from ZoomInfo): ~2,100 viable contacts
  • After job title/seniority filtering: Significantly reduced further
  • Result: Audience size becomes a limiting factor for scale

Cost Efficiency

  • Estimated 5% click rate at $7 CPC = <$1,000/month
  • While cost-effective, display ads function primarily as branding tools, not direct conversion drivers

Recommendations

  1. Use an ABM activation platform like nrich.io for:

    • Better account-level targeting
    • Improved engagement optimization

  2. Set realistic performance expectations:

    • Track approximately 1 display-attributed deal per quarter
    • Use linear attribution models for measurement

  3. Consider supplementing display campaigns with other ABM tactics to reach your audience size limitations
