Speaker 1: We really need to take a hard look at these initial launch numbers.

Speaker 2: I saw the report this morning, and honestly, the turnout was pretty dismal.

Speaker 1: Yeah, getting less than twenty sign-ups over the entire weekend is rough.

Speaker 2: It definitely is, especially after how much effort went into the ad campaign.

Speaker 1: Do you think our targeting was just completely off from the start?

Speaker 2: Well, the click-through rates were decent, but nobody stuck around on the landing page.

Speaker 2: Exactly, which explains why the conversion rate dropped off a cliff.

Speaker 1: Let's pause the paid ads for now so we don't burn through our budget.

Speaker 2: Good call, we can tweak the headline and test a cleaner layout tomorrow.
