Advantage+ Campaigns Slowing Down? Distribute Your Spend

We’ve talked about Meta’s Advantage+ Shopping campaigns on several occasions.

From being advertiser favorites last year to this year’s best practices, these campaigns have remained relevant.

But are the gains from them slowing down?

Quite a few marketing experts seem to be saying so:

Some are even suggesting that over time, ASC will kill your account if not balanced right.

While we’re not sure about ‘kill’, but we’re seeing our regular prospecting ads do better than ASC in most accounts for the 4th of July promotions.

Here’s a considered tweet that tries to understand why this may be:

TL;DR

• Meta’s ASC targets warm audiences in other brands’ funnels

• They tend to fatigue faster than BAU (business-as-usual) campaigns

• However, they can do very well in accounts with lower spends, especially when first launched

So what should you do?

Since Meta does not provide any documentation for its ASC campaign, it is hard to know exactly how they work.

However, if the Advantage+ campaigns have slowed in your account, it is best to move budgets away from them and distribute the budget across retargeting and prospecting.

Just getting started with ads? Here’s a quick campaign structure you can use.

How YEVU Clothing Increased Its ROAS 30% Using Catalogs

With high customer acquisition costs and the need to scale, Yevu needed a tool well-suited for eCommerce.

But the apparel brand’s unique visual identity, reflected in its big, bold prints and relaxed yet unusual silhouettes, presented a unique challenge.

Not only did the brand need fun, topical creatives in line with its visual identity, but it also needed consistent results.

This is where Socioh’s Branded Catalogs came in.

#FeaturedAd - Our Place

Brand: Our Place
Category: Home Goods
Format: Video (Story)

WHY IT WORKS:

What’s better than a single image ad highlighting your product’s top feature(s)?

Using a video so your shoppers can see them for themselves.

In this ad, Our Place does just that with their ‘new Always Pan 2.0’ non-stick pan.

Not only do we see the pan being used to saute veggies, but we also see it going in, handle and everything, into the oven to finish off a lasagna.

Now there’s a wow moment. And no, we wouldn’t have believed it had we not seen it for ourselves!

#BrandedCatalog Spotlight - Couleur Nature

Brand: Couleur Nature
Category: Home Furnishings
Template type: Frame with discount code

WHY IT WORKS:

• The catalog uses a simple floral frame with a discount coupon to draw attention.

• Images are fitted into a container box to ensure that products of different dimensions do not interfere with the layout of the catalog.

• The addition of the logo helps improve brand recall.

Easily upload your own assets and frames to your catalogs. Get started here.
