Why ROI Matters for Your Business
Return on Investment (ROI) is a simple yet powerful metric to understand if an investment is worth the cost. Whether it is a marketing campaign, a new piece of equipment, or a stock purchase, ROI tells you the efficiency of your capital.
A positive ROI means you have made a profit, while a negative ROI indicates a loss. Comparing ROIs across different projects helps businesses prioritize where to spend their budget.
