Your Lookalikes Audiences Need More Love

Are you using your email marketing tool to create lookalike audiences on Facebook? 

THIS IS A PROBLEM.

And like most things Meta, this is especially true post-iOS 14.5. 

Why?

Most email marketing tools do not send your customer value when syncing past buyers with Facebook.

This is definitely true of Klaviyo’s native integration with Facebook. But what if you’re using CLTV-based customer lists? 

You’ve still got a problem. 

Our CEO and founder, Karan Jassar, explains why in his blog here.
(BONUS: He also tells you what you can do about it! 🥳)

Bottom line? If you’re not sending RFM values with your customer lists, you’re LOSING OUT.

#FeaturedAd - Death Wish Coffee

Brand: Death Wish Coffee
Category: Beverage
Format: Video

WHY IT WORKS:

Not everyone’s cuppa, perhaps, but this brand knows its target audience - serious coffee junkies nostalgic about their Death Metal days.

The ad uses a dark background, and bold, high-contrast lettering to stand out in a white feed, pulling the focus to the product. And don't miss the last screen, which includes a product showcase to great effect. Goes to show how you don’t need a pro-grade set up to create good ads - good product shots, bold, high-contrast text, and speaking to your customers will go a long way.

Branded Catalog Spotlight - Tengo Sport

Brand: Tengo Sport
Category: Sporting Goods
Template type: Background removed with cut-price

WHY IT WORKS:

• Rotating background with pastel gradients brings attention to the ad in a predominantly white feed.
• The catalog subtly creates FOMO for past pucrhasers by showing them ‘back in stock’ products that are likely to sell out soon.
• Sale stickers and cut prices are used to highlight discounts to help shoppers convert faster. ('REA' means sale in Swedish.)

Branded Catalogs help design and automate your product feed. Learn more here.
