Step 1 :Given that the revenue attributable to a ski shop's radio ad is $30,000.
Step 2 :The cost to develop and play the ad is $8,000.
Step 3 :The contribution margin typically averages 70%.
Step 4 :First, calculate the net revenue by multiplying the revenue by the contribution margin. In this case, the net revenue is $30,000 * 0.7 = $21,000.
Step 5 :Then, calculate the Return on Marketing Investment (ROMI) by dividing the net revenue by the cost and multiplying by 100. In this case, the ROMI is \((\$21,000 / \$8,000) * 100 = 262.5\%\).
Step 6 :Final Answer: The ROMI is \(\boxed{262.5 \%}\).
