What this means
Cost per follower is campaign spend divided by the followers gained — the standard unit for judging audience-buying efficiency. It only makes sense relative to the audience's value: 10 cents per follower that never buys is worse than $2 per follower that purchases. Including customers and average order value puts a revenue side on the balance sheet via ROAS (revenue ÷ spend).
Recommendations
- Compare CPF across channels — the cheapest follower isn't necessarily the best customer.
- Judge campaigns by CPF + conversion together, never CPF alone.
- Retarget the followers you paid for — a warm audience is where the real ROAS lives.
Watch out
- Buying followers inflates counts but not revenue; the number only counts if the followers are real and relevant.
- One-off campaign CPF says little — track it over months to see trends.
