If you’re in marketing, business, an entrepreneur – you will know too well that the iOs14 update and the global pandemic have had repercussions on our industry! But Smart Marketer’s Molly Pittman and John Grimshaw are here to help! Their team has just completed a massive Industry Report, pulling data from 30 different businesses with a combined total of $57 million in Ad spend on Facebook. Listen today if you want to hear what the data shows, get the big takeaways, and see where you stack up (based on business types most similar to yours).
In this episode (Part 2), you will hear the Key Takeaways on two of the four most important metrics for paid traffic success: Cost Per Click and (the big one) Return On Ad Spend.
“It is not the end of the world as we know it. No, it’s just a little bit more complicated, and that’s why the best marketers will continue to get better. Those of us that are willing to invest in this that are willing to figure out workarounds – we will continue to win.” Molly Pittman.
You will learn:
- Which business type has it best on the current Facebook Ads Platform.
- Campaign settings that the top-performing brands all had in common (that will both decrease your CPC and increase your ROAS).
- What your Ad MUST do if you want maximum returns.
- What YOU can do to counteract the loss of data on the Facebook Ads platform.
And more!
“People still be shopping! I mean, people want to go buy those sneakers, right? Nobody said, Hey, you know what? Let’s just stop spending money as an entire world population. No. The Spend is still happening” John Grimshaw.
