Testing Creatives? Should You Pick ABO Or CBO Settings On Meta?

Wondering what’s the best structure for testing ad creatives in your Meta ad account? 

Should you pick ABO or CBO campaigns to decide which creative to scale? 

Here’s a good approach by @cmikulin that we’re using for testing ads right now: 

DON’T MISS: Andrew J Faris takes CBO testing a step further by launching new creatives as new ad sets in existing CBO bid-capped campaigns.
Yes, you can use the same strategy with cost-capped/minimum ROAS campaigns.

A high CPA can indicate all kinds of problems for your brand— from issues with product-market fit to ad creatives that don’t resonate.

#FeaturedAd - Supernatural Being

Brand: Supernatural Being
Category: Home Goods
Format: Static Image (Feed)

WHY IT WORKS:

Maybe we’ve been looking for sustainable cleaning products. 

Or maybe it was the unusual garden-of-Eden-inspired visual with the 25% discount sticker that caught our attention.

Whatever it was, this static ad by Supernatural Being stood out for us.

But the visual wasn’t the only catchy thing here! 

The copy in the ad felt just right and made us take the next action, all the way to that click on the ad and to their website.

Let’s take a look:

• The review in the caption on top kept us wanting to know more (after all, we had to know — how can a cleaning kit “blow you away”?

• The 25% off copy in the headline reinforced the sticker on the visual and encouraged us to click through to the website. 

• Finally, the description — ethically sourced natural ingredients made us want to find out more. 

Just goes to show how an ad that knows how to get its target audience’s attention and use copy well doesn’t need a lot of bells and whistles.

#BrandedCatalog Spotlight - perfectwhitetee

Brand: perfectwhitetee
Category: Apparel
Template type: 2-image (lifestyle) template with logo

WHY IT WORKS:

• The template uses the brand’s lifestyle images to showcase their apparel’s great fits and fun vibe.

• 2 vertical images are used next to each other to remove the problem of white bars (on either side of vertical images) from their catalogs and showcase different angles.

• The store’s logo is added to its minimalist template to improve brand recall.

Use lifestyle images in your catalog ads. Learn more about using additional images with Socioh’s Branded Catalogs here.
