So are you looking to build broad audience pools to effectively test your products with the help of Facebook ad campaigns, or you’re aiming to hit the right people with your Facebook ads?

Well, it’s evident for eCommerce and other businesses to build a broad audience because almost 95% of product launches fail.

95% of product launches fail— even regularly in light of the fact that a brand pushes them to dispatch ceaselessly to see whether the item is something individuals really need. Indeed, even the most experienced leaders battle to settle on the correct decisions without contribution from their intended interest group.

So if you’re going to launch your product and want its effective testing, you’ll discover how to build a target audience for your Facebook ads in this article.

Broad Audience Pool

With a broad audience pool or right targeting implies that a marketer, product launcher, or you (looking to test your product) can reach individuals who are interested or showed some interest in your products before. These products can be similar to the product you’re going to test, even if they haven’t visited your website or app yet.

At the point when you focus on a larger audience, people in this crowd naturally observe items from your index that are likely applicable/relevant to them.

This broad audience pool assists you in checking the Audience Insights or ad reporting. You can learn more about the people of different countries, demographics, and behaviors to test your product. You can find the people how they reacted to your ads.

For instance, a business running an enormous scope brand mindfulness mission might need to target comprehensively. It could target individuals 18-65 years of age in the United States.

Kinds of Pool Audience

Facebook Ads campaigns make you eligible to make your pool of audience targeting the men, women, and the people of different ages, countries, and broad interests or past behaviors of the people.

For anyone whose product has variations or differs and is based on age, for instance, health and insurance companies, you’re probably targeting the people of specific age or gender and demography. And if not, time to get started! Select different age ranges for your Facebook ad of a product, and point them at either women or men.

You can Target the Pool Audience by customizing the following options available while setting the Facebook ads.

● Location
● Age
● Language
● Gender
● Industries
● Interests

From the above list, you can see how to change the location, language, and demography for your product testing. Click on each option/segmentation one by one and enter your desired location and other credentials to run your Facebook ad campaign to attract many people/customers and effectively test your product.

Requirements for broad Facebook Product Ad Audiences

● Facebook pixel: You’ll need a Facebook pixel executed on your site and should utilize standard occasions to report which item IDs from your list are being seen, added to the bin, and bought. You may need to work with a site designer to set up your Facebook pixel and standard occasions.

● Catalog/Inventory: You’ll need a list to utilize dynamic promotions. If you don’t have one yet, figure out how to make an index. Much of the time, you can utilize a current channel from other internet shopping gateways with one of Facebook’s outsider reconciliations.

Broad Audience Product Testing for eCommerce Retailers

Generally, Facebook Dynamic Ads have been more qualified to bigger eCommerce stores as they have more site traffic to build a broad Facebook ad audience range. This has demonstrated prohibitively for those with little amounts of traffic or less brand mindfulness.

Since the update permits eCommerce giants or retailers to discover new audiences, this helps both littler and bigger eCommerce locales. The litter retailers with less traffic going to their site can contact new individuals that they would not have conventionally had the option to reach. This assists with advancing the items available to be purchased just as building brand mindfulness.

Bigger retailers can likewise profit as they can contact new crowds that might not have interfaced with something else, permitting the other retailer audience to go after their items.

Maybe you launched a 1k budget campaign in the past, maybe you didn’t.

In this article I want to give you few insights, how I launch and how I kill big budget campaigns. Also why to even launch 1k campaigns. 🙂

Topic can be useful for beginners and advanced marketers.

Why You Should Launch a Big Budget Campaign

While most marketers and entrepreneurs are probably scared of big budget campaigns, I must admit that I was too. Many times. And I still am, when I don’t give enough time to understand the account.

You can obviously test and see what will happen, but probably 90% of the time you won’t do it again. CPC will go up, CTR down, CPA up, ROAS down. FB will quickly spend 50% of budget and results will suck.

You will kill it at 30% of budget spend probably, as you will see CPA 3-5x than what you used to have. Or you will wait till the budget is spent, and next day or third day you will kill it as it will make no sense for you. And yes, I believe 70% big budget campaigns will not work. Probably 80%.

Depends on the campaign budget, ad account data, pixel, product, landing page. But 20% of campaigns can work, and those 20% will make more revenue than all the lost 80%!

So is it worth trying?  Depends on your business model and your cash flow. By business model I mean that you need to decide which path you want to go. You can sell 1000 items per month with $10 profit or 10.000 items with $1 profit.

What is your goal and how you want to move?

Example above will give you the same profit, but here is the catch. Second option which was made with a big budget will also give you 9x more customers.

Now the question: Which list size is more profitable, the 1k list or the 10k list?

If the conversion on emails is 1%, you can get 10 or 100 more sales on top of the above example. If the profit is now $20 as you don’t have to pay for ads, then the second option is obviously more profitable. You will get 2k on top of your 10k profit. And I believe if you hire a good email marketer who can do a 4% offer instead of 1%, your profit will now be 8k on top of your FB revenue.

Now we are talking about 18k compared to 10k and few email sales with your 1k list. But the story doesn’t end here. Here is the advanced course. 🙂

What if you send 5 emails per week to your existing email list? Do you know what can happen after 30 days? You can figure out or you can test on your own if you want.

I guarantee that you will be close to 30 or even 50k of revenue. Compared to the 1k list I think your revenue will double with big budget campaigns. But, I know. We’re all afraid of spending a lot on FB if we get lower margins. And the cash flow is always the biggest struggle since banks just don’t trust us or can’t raise the limit quickly.

Now let’s go back to the main topic and how to launch and kill a big budget campaign.

How to Launch a 1K/Day Facebook Ad Campaign

I assume that by now you realized that more customers equals more profit. So when you have spent some money and time in your account, then it’s time for testing with $500 – 1k.

I believe in this FB DNA, you have 3 levels of budgets. 

1. Below or equal $100
2. Below or equal $500
3. Below or equal $1000

We start testing campaigns most of the time at $100. After a while we know where we are and how much we can scale those $100 campaigns.

Many times we see the CPA go nuts when we come near $300 or $500. So we stop and go back. We repeat the testing, scaling, downscaling and turning off.

If we can work at 2nd level below the $500 budget on campaign, we can scale the account pretty big.

Scaling to 10K/Day in Facebook Ad Spend

If we want to scale even more (10k or more per day), obviously we will have to start testing 1k campaigns.And launching a 1k campaign is pretty simple. You put the budget at 1k and launch it. Then you wait for 30-50% spend and you react.

If you’re below 2x of regular CPA, we leave it run and don’t touch. If we see a huge increase or no sales, we leave it at 50% and then turn off.

Next day’s results will probably be better but if still low, kill. If after 3 days you are near where your KPI is, then let it run. You found a 20% campaign! Congrats. Let it run and analyze what works.

If CPA is way below your KPI, scale it to 2k or even 5k. If CPA is just a little below, scale it by 20% daily. Now you already see what is working, so try to duplicate and try other interests and creatives.

Launch 10 more 1k campaigns!  (I know, don’t tell me… but, you’re a big man / company by now)

Next day kill 80% and scale 20%. At the end of the week you can have 5-10 big budget campaigns easily. Then all you need to do daily is ride the wave of CPA to be near or under your desired KPI.

I scaled one account by this method from 5k to 15k in just 2 days. It was easy but I was scared as hell! And it was not my money. Imagine how scared I would be if I had to put all my savings in. But, this is the risk and you know this right – ‘Big risk takers will someday made it’. Or not. Depends on many factors. 

I don’t want you to risk with ‘empty’ head as so many young entrepreneurs and marketers do, but please educate yourself first, analyze your account, and then start testing. Slowly. See how your account reacts.

When you will learn the pixel algo and account whispering, then you’ll be able to decide when is the right time to launch and scale big budget campaigns.

We all know video ads work. If you don’t use video creatives to tell your brand story, you’re missing a lot.

But you also know that it’s pretty hard to come up with very awesome videos for cold traffic that will convert at your desired ROAS or CPA. You have to constantly test them to find the best CTR, CPM and CPC.

Testing Video Creatives

When you have a very promising video, you need to analyze it and re-edit to create even better performance of it. You need to change scroll-stopping thumbnails with custom made graphics or weird screenshot extracts from your videos. You also need to re-edit the first 3s many times, so you find a winning combination for clicks.

You also need to add in a few happy customers screenshots from your website, a few customer satisfaction pics and statements, and also few sayings like ‘We’ve just sold 100k of this product!’ 

(If you really sold many, if not please don’t. Trying to over potent your brand if you’re just making few sales everyday, will probably ruin your brand image.)

But yes, try to show them success data as relevant as possible, and as many times as possible in that one video. And when you find your winning video creative, that is doing an amazing job on the cold traffic, you need to push it as much as you can.

How? Create 10 – 50 campaigns with it and boost it with PPE to get lots of engagements.

Why PPE? We experienced that ad IDs with over 50 comments starts to bring great performance.

Next step then is that when you get 1MM or more views on all combined videos, you create few special custom audiences.

Of course you can do them before and retarget with smaller budgets, but things start to change with lots of people in those campaigns. And for that you need to first spend some money to get views. 

(Beware: Top notch secret from here on!)

Read More: Are You Really Testing Creatives On Facebook or Is It Luck of the Draw?

Creating Custom Audiences From Successful Video Creatives

Create a custom audience with 95% of people who viewed all your cold traffic videos together in the last 180 days. Also make 95% for the last 30 and 90 days, 75% for 30, 90 and 180 days, 50% for 30 and 90, and 25% for 30 days. (We see based on the past days those audiences react very differently.)

Then the last audience you will need is the ThruPlay audience in the last 180 days.

What Creatives to Use with Your Custom Audiences

Now before you will start uploading all those audiences, let me tell you what creatives you will use in them.

First and most popular are UGC creatives. Pics works great here but you should also have videos.

I’m sure if you sold lot’s of products on your website, and if you have a review app installed, then you can take screenshots and use them.

If not, you can get them by sending a few emails to your buyers list and giving away some discount codes as a way to say thank you.

Or you can make them by asking a few friends or family members to try or wear your product with a big happy smile on their faces. 🙂 They will of course do this for free and you will also have a great time doing this together with them. Maybe this can be your social thing every month? (just saying)

In ad copy you will obviously say something great to potential buyers. Something that you find out they all like and what changes their thoughts after they bought it.

You will put it in “…”, so we all know that they really said that. 🙂

Then you will make two types of retargeting video viewers campaigns. 

Read More: What Creative Works Best In In-Stream Video Ad Placement?

Building the Campaigns

One will be dynamic ads and the other will be regular ads.

In dynamics you will put 10 pics, or vids, or both combinations in, together with 5 ad copies and few subject descriptions. So FB can show different creatives to that audience based on their daily performance.

Same you will do with standard solo ads, but you need to have it at least 5-10 in each ad set. More the better, as FB will also show them based on daily performance.

Then at the last but not the least, you have to upload all these campaigns on your account. And start testing, and optimizing, and scaling best performers.

Here you can do three approaches:

1. Upload all audiences in one ad set and start with a bigger budget. (you will have one dynamic ad campaign and one solo ad campaign)
2. Upload all audiences in several ad sets with each audience in separate ad set (2 campaigns – yes each ad set will have one dynamic or multi solo ads)
3. Upload all audiences in separate campaigns (Many campaigns – currently my preferred way)

This of course will differ based on your past account data, so I would go one by one and test all slowly.

When you find your winning combination, you will also find that this strategy is pure gold. It can bring your average CPA down a lot.  Usually these campaigns work at a half or a third TOF CPA cost! So use it smart in different segments of your product funnels!

(Hint: You can take same approach also in other audiences)

If you think this is too advanced or too hard for you, you can always sign up with us and make your life easier. And your business will grow more as this can be pretty time consuming. 

Yes, we will upload all that and more for you!

Many marketers and e-commerce entrepreneurs are familiar with different Facebook Ads strategies. From basic cold traffic campaigns to sophisticated retargeting and upsell/cross sale campaigns. Their basic goal is to get conversion at the cost that is still profitable for your business, after you exclude all the other costs that you have with your advertising product or service.

Running Facebook ad campaigns for your e-commerce business in 2020 is so competitive, that it requires a lot of special skills if you want to make them work in your business. However, what many people don’t realize is that with setting up the right Facebook  structure of your campaigns, results will out beat your competition.

With 1.39 billion monthly active users & with typical ROI from Facebook ads at 152%, Facebook ads are the tool every business needs if they want to grow big today. If an e-commerce business is not advertising on their platform, then that business is on a huge mistake and lost in the desert.

Are you ready to get started with Facebook Advertising strategies for your e-commerce business? Well, let’s dive into the core … 

Cold Traffic, Up-Sell and Cross-Sell Campaigns

The first thing you need to do for running campaigns for your e-commerce business on Facebook, is to set up Facebook ads on an already established or a new business page. Fulfill all the basic ad requirements before running an ad campaign. These basic requirements are: content, stunning video or catchy image, well-detailed product description, call to action, and good headline and description. It’s suggested to run first cold traffic ads that will target an audience based on selected keywords that you think are related to your product or service. These types of ads will introduce your brand to the general public and show them reasons why they need to buy or contact you.

Furthermore you will need to create also retargeting ads that will catch the audience who viewed your website or view social media profiles in different time segments. This we call retargeting (or remarketing), and can be highly profitable if used in the right way.
Will go more into detail later.

And then you have upsell and cross-sale campaigns, that will try to sell to your existing buyers more of your product or services. Mission about those is to spike your AOV (average order value), so you can spend more on the cold traffic successfully.

Example: If someone visits your site and purchases green t-shirts, you can cross-sell complementary socks or shoes to that customer.

One more clear example, say a visitor purchases an airline ticket for a vacation in New York; you have access to cross-sell him a hotel or a car rental, making his/her further plan their trip more comfortable. Then you can grow to keep in view the customer’s views.

Video Ads vs Picture Ads

Today, your Facebook ads for e-commerce should be in a video format, and it is because Facebook says that most of the users on Facebook watch videos rather than other content. This is why Facebook suggests and ranks those ads higher than others.

According to reports:

• 39% of e-commerce businesses and marketers say Facebook is the number one social media site that enables them to generate more interactions with video content.
• 34% of e-commerce businesses pick Instagram as another alternative and the best social media website for generating a return on investment.

But images can work too! It’s always good to test both as some businesses will benefit more with picture ads. Especially if you use them in the right segment of your funnel.

Create Custom Audiences & Stay In Touch With Customers 24/7

When a visitor visits a specific product page, or collection, or posts a message to your Facebook page, you can add them to a little ‘bucket’ called custom audience.  

Since it’s more expensive to find new customers than to retain current customers, retargeting is an essential strategy for any online store/e-commerce business that wants to grow their revenue. Retargeting campaigns are way cheaper to get a conversion, and they can also increase engagements and build an audience in real-time.

However, when it comes to retargeting on Facebook, Custom Audiences are a core feature that allows e-commerce businesses to portray their Facebook ads to an audience from any online or offline marketing channel. 

For instance, by setting up a Pixel for your website or SDK on your app, you can create a list of customers and show them your ads relevant to their behaviors as per the searches.

In addition to above, you have further opportunities to:

• Upload a list of customers as a file or submit this data manually
• Add offline activity data like sales or phone calls 
• Create a list from new Instagram & Facebook users

The Custom Audiences feature has a little cousin called Lookalike Audiences that is mainly based on any Custom Audience you specify. It’s the best method to find prospecting customers who have the best intentions to buy products as per the previous engagement history and site behaviors according to AI.

Lots of you know that broad audiences can be scaled a lot. We’re talking here min $1-2k per campaign budgets with 1-10 interests. If we have interests inside with 1-10MM audiences, we will start campaigns with $300-$500.

Lately most of them they will stop working when we scale to $1k or more per day, but some of them will. Depends on your account as they all perform very differently.

What about smaller audiences? Can they also be scaled to the same ad spend per day?

Most gurus will tell no, but we have a strategy that can work very well. And if executed correctly, it can bring 2-3x better ROAS that broad campaigns.

So what is the strategy you will ask. Let me tell you first about segmentation and how to make proper campaigns setup for smaller audiences.

Segmentation and Proper Campaign Set Up for Smaller Audiences

Segmentation means that based on our testing data, we will create segmented plan for our ‘pocket’ campaigns.

First we will test the hell out of broad interests and LLAs. I’m talking here about 20-30 campaigns, sometimes 50. We will get enough data so we understand our account and audiences. Placement will obviously be mobile and FB feed is our winner in 80%. But IG feed and stories performs very well too.

We know that online shopping interest works well, and that Female gender is bringing 70% of all sales. Best LLA is Pur 2% and 4% but IC and ATC works too. As we sell worldwide, we know that US, AU and UK are our Top 3.

ROAS for the last 30 days is 1.9 and our client is making 5% net profit.

Not much but we tested a lot and we didn’t lose money. That is a win because client just signed with DimNiko Agency, and before they didn’t know what they were doing.

They spent near 55k on ads in their fresh account, and they ended at -7k loss after 3 months of all kinds of ‘testings’.

And what now?  DimNiko media buyer who is taking care of their account is now, ready to go into ROUND 2 of testings.

Strategy: Pocket

Budget: 1k per day
Testing campaigns: 10
Budget of each campaigns: $100
Campaigns breakdown:

• 1- best INT 1 – 3 adsets – narrow down – suggestion mix – Female only – Mob – FB feed only – Country: US+UK+AU 
• 2- best INT 1 – 3 adsets – narrow down – suggestion mix – Female only – Mob – IG feed + stories – Country: US+UK+AU 
• 3- best INT 2 – 3 adsets – narrow down – suggestion mix – Female only – Mob – FB feed only – Country: US+UK+AU 
• 2- best INT 2 – 3 adsets – narrow down – suggestion mix – Female only – Mob – IG feed + stories – Country: US+UK+AU 
• 5- PUR 30d LLA – 10 adsets – 2,4,6,8,10% – narrow down best INT1 mix – Female only – Mob – FB feed only – Country: US+UK+AU 
• 2- PUR 30d LLA – 10 adsets – 2,4,6,8,10% – narrow down best INT1 mix – Female only – Mob – IG feed + stories – Country: US+UK+AU 
• 7- PUR 90d LLA – 10 adsets – 2,4,6,8,10% – narrow down best INT2 mix – Female only – Mob – FB feed only – Country: US+UK+AU 
• 2- PUR 90d LLA – 10 adsets – 2,4,6,8,10% – narrow down best INT2 mix – Female only – Mob – IG feed + stories – Country: US+UK+AU 
• 9- IC 180d LLA – 10 adsets – 2,4,6,8,10% – narrow down best INT1+2 mix – Female only – Mob – FB feed only – Country: US+UK+AU 
• 2- ATC 180d LLA – 10 adsets – 2,4,6,8,10% – narrow down best INT1+2 mix – Female only – Mob – IG feed + stories – Country: US+UK+AU 

Besides all above, we also have MOF and BOF that are working really well and bringing ROAS around 3.2.

We also have few other broad campaigns that are working well.

Overall, only 30% of our whole daily budget is set for the Round 2 testing phase. After 7-14 days and many turned off ad sets during our optimization process, we can mark our first few ‘big winners’ of ROUND 2, for which we already know they will work for another month or two.

Sometimes even 3-6 months, depends on the creatives and competition.

We noticed that with this segmentation, specially with LLAs, we can find pockets of traffic where we dominate and where our ads can work for a really long time.

With ROAS at 2-3x bigger than with our broad campaigns strategies. So the key to finding good pocket traffic is of course – TESTING.

And with testing we mean testing every small pocket of traffic you can find. At small budget, middle or big budget.

Small for us now is $50 per day, middle is $100-200, and big is $300-$500.

At the beginning of 2020 we would say this differently, but now this is our favorite spot.

There are few exemptions but in general, small budget is used for interest below 1MM, middle is 1-10MM and big is 10MM or more.

Then you might guess, next step is ROUND 3, where we gonna test MALE gender and AUTO placements. Then in 3rd month, we gonna try new creatives and ad copy with our proven winners we got so far. And after that, we will go for video viewers 95% LLAs and Top spenders 5,10 and 25% LLAs.

The end goal is to find enough of ‘small pocket’ traffic, where we can by putting lots of campaigns there, scale to the same budget per day as with few broad campaigns.

Yeah we know, it’s a lot of work but that’s why our results are much better than yours.Not many media buyers and business owners, have time and knowledge to do our way of segmentation.

And not many businesses out there know how to plan testings strategically.

If you know how to make a strategic testings plan for 3-6 months, then you are already ahead of the curve. 

Probably for you this knowledge is nothing special so you don’t need us. But if you think you need somebody to execute your 3-6 month scaling strategy, then book a call with us:

Damn guys, you nailed it. Let’s make a top notch scaling strategy for 2021!

Facebook became a powerful advertising platform in recent years. Many small and big companies are growing tremendously using the advantages of facebook advertising. And also many companies are dying and losing money every day, because they don’t have a proper knowledge about how Facebook ads work.

There are many gurus online who will teach you how to create successful campaigns that will make thousands of revenue in just a few days. They had some success when the ecom craziness appeared near 2015 and seduced many young and old online entrepreneurs. Some of them are running great brands today, selling thousands of products everyday. And some of them decided to continue as online teachers and educators, as this is their best bang for their buck.

In recent years Facebook changed a lot. They are growing big that is for sure, but they are also taking care of their customers. There are many benefits of Facebook advertising but if you are not prepared to lose some money at the beginning for testing and learning, then you will not succeed.

So Is It Worth Advertising on Facebook?

Yes it is.

There are many advantages of using Facebook for marketing in your company. Proper strategy will help you to sell more of your products or services. It will also help you to get followers on different social media platforms, if you re-engage with them after you show them your ads.

We got asked almost everyday if facebook advertising is still effective. For sure it’s not so easy as back in 2015, where you can pop up whatever product on a feed and there will be many hungry buyers who will buy it. As the whole advertising game changed a lot in recent years because of many fake businesses and products, companies who want to market on Facebook today need to come up with a detailed strategy and creative plan.

As many online marketers in the past took advantage of their platform and started to promote bad quality China products with long shipping terms, buyers started to complain on Facebook about inappropriate videos, product quality and long shipping times. They also started to complain about the quantity of ads they saw everyday in their news feeds.

So Facebook started to ban accounts and companies who were not shipping fast, were using stolen or branded creatives, and in general were not selling under Facebook advertising terms. This term became very strict in 2020 and many companies are struggling with their advertising accounts to not being banned.

Sometimes just a little mistake in ad copy can get you out of Facebook advertising platform.

So the answer to all you who are still thinking if the Facebook ads are worth jumping on it in 2020, is – hell-yea. With the right mindset, plan of action and the right experts behind your back, you can grow your company exponentially in a very short period of time.

For sure you must be careful what and how you advertise, what creative you upload and how your website is made, but in general if you pay attention to Facebook advertising terms which sometimes can be little ‘unrealistic’, you’re on a good path and you can make some crazy scaling.

But of course there are also companies that don’t want to advertise on Facebook. The biggest reason why you or your company should not be on facebook is still privacy. Many people and businesses are afraid to show their faces, or to share private moments.

But as our technology and society evolves very fast, privacy is something we should take into consideration as good and bad at the same time.

If you’re hiding something or you’re not prepared for the consequences, for sure it can harm your life or business. But if you’re well educated and prepared, transparency about your life and business can bring so much more from the promotional point of view.

Let’s make an example: Business owner of a small company shares funny photos of his family while they took a road trip on the company’s Facebook page. Followers of his brand see them and engage with him personally.

You think his company would sell less or more during the engagement time on Facebook? Depends on the product but in 99% the answer will be yes. We’ve seen it so many times and we believe your business strategy in 2020 should include some kind of ‘human engagement’ on Facebook. With ads or without. Depends how much ‘more’ you want to sell.

With the help of Facebook algorithm learning machine, called Facebook pixel, you can sell a lot more after you leave this pixel to optimize and learn about your customers.

And you can put all your followers and engagers into small buckets, from where you can then remarket them with special ads. Depending on the journey they went with you, you can make so many combinations as no other advertising platform can. And that is really powerful.

If you don’t know how to start and plan the right strategy, contact us and we’ll be glad to help you. Also if you’re already spending 5 or 10k per day, we can make your ROAS even higher.

We overview 2MM of monthly spend through different accounts and we know a thing or two about Facebook. At the end of the day what is important is the advertising partner, who will listen, execute and help you to grow your business exponentially.

One of the best tools that Facebook offers for businesses to grow their fans and customers are Lead Ads.

What Is One of the Major Benefits of Facebook Lead Ads?

They allow advertisers to collect information from prospects directly from mobile ads. That’s key for Facebook’s 88 percent share of mobile users–especially since it typically takes 40 percent longer to complete forms on desktop.

With lead ads you don’t send traffic to an external webpage where you show lead opt-in and then customers must fill that form and press submit, but you make an ad where prospect’s information (name and email) is pre-populated so they just have to hit submit.

Another advantage Facebook lead generation ads offer is that generated leads can be synced directly with your company’s customer-relationship management system or downloaded as a .CSV file. This allows marketers to follow-up more efficiently, which is vital for closing the deal.

How Do I Optimize Lead Ads on Facebook?

If you’ve created some campaigns till now on Facebook, then you know that optimization is everything. Process to optimize lead campaigns is the same as with conversion campaigns or with any other objective.

Usually we start with some general targeting based on the audience we want to reach. We upload one piece of content and we add some text. Depending on the budget, we have to wait to see what kind of performance we will get.

If we get bad CPC, then we know something is wrong with our ad or targeting and we need to tweak it. Same is with CPL (cost per lead). If we get too high CPL that is not profitable or breakeven for our business, then we need to optimize it.

There are many strategies on how to lower CPL and our media team has swiss-knife for every situation, but in general is very simple. Test, test, test. Till you don’t find a perfect combination of good creative and good ad copy that is giving good CPL at desired budget.

How Much Do Facebook Lead Ads Cost?

Every year from 2015 we see cost per leads or conversions are slightly increasing. This is due to Facebook growing and becoming a better tool, with millions of advertisers who are competing for their clicks. Same happened with Google in early days when CPC went from few cents to few dozen cents.

With Facebook we assume it’s gonna be a very similar story, so be ready to spend more for your leads in upcoming years.
Our lead campaigns for clients are very different. We’ve had clients whose CPL was below $5, and we have clients who are happy with CPL around $30. That all depends on what product or service you’re selling and how much is your CLV (customer lifetime value).

Example: If you know that your CLV is $90, but your product you sell costs only $45, then you know that you can spend more than $45 to acquire a new customer. How much more is based on your other costs and processes in your business.

How Do I Download Lead Ads from Facebook?

When your Lead campaign is live and is bringing you leads, you need to download those leads and import them into your CRM or email marketing tools. How you do this is pretty simple.

You just need to go to the Publishing Tools tab at the top of your Facebook page and click Forms Library on the left side of the screen. You need to have administrator access to view forms. After that you just select Form Library to access your forms.

Facebook Leads Ad Examples

Below are a few different examples of lead forms found online, just to generate a few ideas of how you can use this tool in your business.

I’m running ads for a big client. We’re spending around 4-6k per day and his average day for the past 90 days was $30k of revenue. Last month they did $1.1MM in sales. And it was the same in April and March. From May 1st 2019 to May 1st 2020 they did 10MM of sales. Some months were below 1MM and some above. They never went under 700k per month.

Pretty epic ha?

Their online conversion store is 5.24% and they’re using Shopify.

Total orders in that period = 200K
Average order value = $50
Country: US

Now, what are they selling I won’t tell you…but what I can tell you is this.

• Their creatives are nothing special.
• Their landing page is nothing special.
• Their apps are nothing special.
• Their funnel is nothing special.

So what is special you will ask?

I would like to say that ‘the one’ who runs ads (Hint: ME)…but you know this is only a fraction of their sales. What is special here is the “branding” and they are the biggest in the US. Everybody knows them and they’re proud to be the best. But what I think is even more important than the branding is the product that soon goes off after some period.

So you need more of it. And more. And more. Like oil. Or gas. Or meat. Or milk. Etc.

What is the word for it? Perfect expiration product? Yes, if you have a great product that expires in 30 days, then you have an enormous advantage.

Hint: It doesn’t have to be food. I’m also not talking about cheap products that just die after a month here…I’m talking about products that are so good, you want to use them everyday. Then when you use them everyday, they slowly fade into nothing. You can’t eat or drink them because if you could, then probably it wouldn’t last even one day.The taste of them would be too magical to resist.

We have recipes for different scaling strategies. Small and big, branding and white-label ones. What you need is a partner who you can trust and who will grow with you hand in hand.

Have a wonderful day,

Matej – Senior media buyer at DimNiko

I have one client that I slowly scaled to 5k a day.

For 2 months now our daily budget is 4-5k per day.

Nothing amazing but what I like about this client is the longevity of his creatives.

I’m running one ad that brought in almost half of his revenue.

And he’s at 2MM of revenue right now.

So 1MM was made by this simple 30s ad, where you see people crying…and hugging…and kissing..and being loved.

If you ask me, yes, this is the success recipe.

And can it be useful for all products?

I believe so, yes!

With some creativity you can use every product to bring tears of joy or satisfaction in viewers eyes.

And your buyers want that. A lot!

Who would not check an ad out where people are laughing heavily or crying loud?

I would.

And many others would too.

Now why does this concept work?

Social media is all about sharing emotions.

We scroll down everyday for ten or hundred digital meters, (depending on how ‘trained’ you are for digital walking) and we watch for interesting pictures and clips.

We don’t read a lot as we just want to watch.

80% we watch, and 20% we listen.

If there is no sound, then we read.

But most of the time we watch first.

And when we see something weird, or spooky,

or loving, or caring, or sharing…

we then share, comment, click and check.

And if we see hugs or tears or kisses, we click even faster because we need to.

If landing pages shows something that no one has, and is optimized for conversions,
then we don’t have any issues to scale this ad to a few thousands sales per month.

And if you have good products, good comments, lots of shares, likes and good conversions, then the only thing you have to do is to optimize the budgets on a daily basis and campaigns to not spend too much or too little.

Ok there are other things in business for sure, but what I’m doing here is just looking for CPA and ROAS.

I stopped looking at CPC, ATC, IC, CPM and CPM at some point.

I have 15 campaigns that I optimized like crazy and I don’t have to do nothing except to let them run on their own.

FB algo is doing it all and when it breaks, I try to fix it as soon as possible.

How? I change a few things: duplicate, re-launch, segment, downscale or turn off.

So if you’re spending over $500 a day

And want to scale your brand

Book a call with us below:

You can be our next case that we scale to 5 or 10k per day.

Two of our clients are doing 1MM per month right now, so we know few things that others don’t.

And we enjoy sharing them.

In a simple and honest way.

This success game is very simple, if you mix the right ingredients.

Have a wonderful day,

Matej – Senior media buyer at DimNiko
