UGC is authenticity in its purest form. Harvest the raw material, refine (edit) it until its highly concentrated video. Then slap some TikTok captions on there and use it full funnel.
Use Pinterest / Snap audience insights to inform new creative and audience testing on FB. ex. "Snowboarding" at a 1.9x on Snap PUR? Make UGC with ski/snowboard talent + your product then target that interest.
3 creative types in one adset. Carousel + Static + Video. Run as 3 adsets, in the TOFU, MOFU, and BOFO. This will quickly isolate and identify which creative type resonates with your audience.
Pixel-based retargeting audiences issues with iOS 14? Rebound by targeting people who engaged with any FB/IG post or ad over the last x days for retargeting & LAL for prospecting. Clicks by definition are a form of engagement. 🤯
Run ads with dynamic checkout URLs (that pull in product they visited w/ auto applied discount code) that goes straight to checkout (skipping pdp/cart) to 1 day visitors (excluding PUR).
Breaking out your high priced SKUs into their own product set for DPAs. Target your best cold audiences to date. Let Facebook find users who can afford to purchase those high end SKUs.
Partner with an influencer to create single testimonial UGC content for your brand. Run those ads through their account via Branded Partnerships (aka whitelisting). Target these ads to your best ToFu audiences to date.
Launch a CBO of 3 top performing audiences (or staged %LL) & every 48-72hrs increase budget or turn off ad sets until you have a single ad set(lone wolf) that continues to scale. (Duplicate the CBO & remove the Lone Wolf to repeat process)
Run your conversion campaigns to a third-world country for a few days to get a ton of likes/comments, then change the back to your original country so when your target audience sees the ads for the first time, it looks well established.
Prospecting campaigns are conversion-optimized, but all retargeting is reach optimized. This audience has higher buying intent so it can be "reached" for much lower costs that produce higher volume than traditional conversion retargeting.
Segment countries or locations in CBOs by performance: Tier 1 is UK/US/CA, Tier 2 is next top 5, Tier 3 is RoW. Each location in a different ad set except for Tier 3. Scale and discover new territories to own. Broad if possible or Int or LLA.
When using influencer white-labeling, in addition to Custom Audiences based on their fans/engagers, create LAAs based on those audiences and use for TOF. Test both running ads with the Influencer Page and Brand Page to these LAAs.
Segment an audience of purchasers of your most popular SKU in Klaviyo. Create custom audience and link to Facebook. Use to market w/ “If you love SKU you’ll love....” rhetoric.
That's it! Give it up for these super-sharp contenders with some ❤️ and RTs.
But this thread will help you narrow it down, AND THEN FIX IT.
Let's get started. 👇
ROAS is just the last stop on the line. A poor ROAS is usually due to a poor CPM, CTR, or CR. So let's figure out which one is not working right.
In FB ads manager, in the time frame section tick the "compare slider". Then look at various time frames. Instability comes standard with FB ads, but swings of 25% could activate your mental "check engine light".🚨
You've made some recent audience changes, or suspect it's audience related.

Choosing your audience is choosing your CPM. A smaller and carefully crafted audience means FB has a limited pool to fish in and there is little room to optimize for value.
Let's fix!
For prospecting, try broadening the audience, even into the millions, using Look-a-likes or broad interests.
Even if the segment isn't perfect, FB is good at finding those perfect people, and has some room to find them at a cheaper price.
A Feedback Score under 2.0 will cause an immediate CPM increase. We've seen 30% increases. A score under 2.0 or 1.0 for older pages will disable the ad account.
This is fixable by fixing the underlying business issues that are listed and then waiting a few weeks for the score to return. If it's shipping related, you can adjust the expected shipping time to match what is actually happening.
Your account structure has a lot of campaigns and adsets. Click here to diagnose. 👈
If you have similar or the same audiences running in different campaigns, you maybe causing auction overlap and be bidding against yourself.
It's easy enough to diagnose. Just hover over an adset and click the little "inspect" label. Then scroll down to the auction overlap graph. You want to see this under 10%. AO is most common with retargeting, but can happen in prospecting at higher spends.
