Traffic is expensive. Fixing the basics is not.
If your creative asset has text that is too small, font weights that are too thin, or copy forced into hard-to-read ALL CAPS, you are leaking conversion on every single click.
Most brands are preparing to pour even more budget into media buying eyeballs.
But driving paid traffic to unreadable, untested assets simply burns money faster.
2027 could easily become a retail media money pit if you treat traffic as the solution to poor creative fundamentals.
Fix the unreadable text. Remove the visual friction.
Stop overpaying for traffic just to compensate for unreadable assets.
When your assets are glance-readable, your conversion beats the competition.
I proved this at Unilever. We saw higher click-through rates on banners with text that passed Contrast and Clarity testing.
The choice is yours: keep funding expensive traffic, or fix the basics.
