ā ļøHave you adapted your Facebook ad strategy since the iOS-14 update? Here are 3 things you should be doing right nowā¼ļø
šš²Running a Reel strategy. *Not a typo. Instagram Reels ads are here! And theyāre awesome for three reasons. 1. When done right, Reel ads feel like content your friends would post. Good ads donāt feel like ads, and Reels are brilliant way to reach your target audience. 2. Reel placements are cheap! Average CPMs (cost/1000 impressions) $2-$4, where as average CPMs for other placements are $12-$20+. 3. You can retarget Reel viewers on other placements! If youāre not testing this placement, or even worse, running the same ads you are on stories or main placements here, youāre not only missing out, you could be making your brand look bad.
šš»Breaking down campaigns by device. Part of growing a business is scaling your ad spend. Another part of growing a business is reducing wasted spend. Since the IOS-14 update, Facebook is missing some of the data it previously had to run highly effective ads to those on Apple devices. Lucky for you, youāre able to see if running ads to iOS users is still as profitable as it once was, and if or where you might need to reduce spend, increase spend or pivot next.
ššRunning lead gen campaigns. Since iOS-14 online businesses need to be even more focused on first party data and owning a relationship with past and future customers. Facebookās Lead gen campaigns, (aka email acquisition campaigns), are a great way to build your email list (aka first party data), especially leading up to the holiday season. I like to highlight here as many businesses are āchannel hoppingā - you can acquire an email address for $1.50 from Facebook ads, or you can pay $1.50 for someone to visit your site from a Google Ad. Which would you rather have? Both are important but I cannot stress enough how valuable these kinds of campaigns are for your overall marketing right now.
