Your best-selling product is hiding how bad the rest of your catalog is.
I call it the hero product trap.
One product carries the ACoS.
The rest bleed budget quietly.
The overall number looks fine.
Until the hero has a bad month.
Then suddenly everything looks bad and nobody knows why.
Here's how to actually spread catalog performance:
→ Sort every product by percentage of total sales
→ Find the next 3 to 4 products already showing some momentum
→ Double down there, not at the bottom of the catalog
→ Run isolated campaigns per product, no cross-contamination
You can't scale what you can't see.
Be honest..
if your top product drops tomorrow,
what happens to your account?
