Meta Ads Aren’t Dead. Not Anytime Soon.
Yes, it’s tougher than it was before iOS14.
But here’s some great news to end the year on.
Meta ads aren’t dead. Far from it!
What’s better? Meta seems to be outperforming all other platforms too!
Don’t believe us? Hear it from the ever-reliable @hermanndigital:
This weekend across the board was bigger and more profitable than I could have imagined.
People are buying right now and Meta is absolutely winning on all fronts.

Operating In A Saturated Market? Learn How This Brand Did It.
There’s a lot of talk about picking the right niche for your business.
But what if you were operating in an overcrowded market?
Would you give up?
Mattress brand Purple didn’t. Instead, they went from a crowdfunded eCom product to a major brand.
Want to see how they did it? Check out this thread by @blvckledge:

Want to read more about the brand? Here’s how the brand uses video to advertise.
#FeaturedAd - Bombas
Brand: BombasCategory: Apparel & AccessoriesFormat: Video
Caption: Incredibly soft, cozy, and in colors you'll love. Don't be surprised if our socks become your favorite. Heading: Take 20% Off Your First Order With Code: COMFORT20
WHY IT WORKS:
Who doesn’t shop for socks for holiday gifts?
If you’re in the sock market, creating colorful and cute holiday videos with your most festive products will help keep your product on top of shoppers’ minds. The ad showcases four different use cases- stuff them in holiday stockings, wear them to cozy hikes, pad around them in the house (and kiss under the mistletoe!), and even use them for early presents!
The products look great, and the ad caption reinforces quality and comfort. Who offers a lifetime guarantee AND 100% refund on socks?! With a 20% off coupon code for first-time orders, it’s hard to resist shopping from them!
