🚀 Simplifying Meta Ads for Scalable Success

Insights from Chewonthis

Managing Meta ads in 2024 isn’t about complex tricks—it’s about eliminating unnecessary complications. Many brands unknowingly hurt their efficiency with overly intricate account structures. Here’s how to simplify your Meta strategy for maximum returns.

Key Strategies for Simplifying Meta Ads

1️⃣ Reduce Account Complexity
Overloading your Meta account with dozens of campaigns creates chaos. Instead of optimizing, you risk auction overlap, where your campaigns compete against each other, driving up costs. Simplify your setup by focusing on fewer, streamlined campaigns to eliminate internal competition.

2️⃣ Adopt a Three-Campaign Framework
At Obvi, simplicity drives success. We rely on just three campaigns:

• One Testing Campaign: Dedicated to experimenting with new angles and creatives. Each ad set focuses on one concept, ensuring clean data and actionable insights.

• Two Scaling Campaigns:

  • An Advantage+ Shopping Campaign (ASC) where proven creatives shine without targeting restrictions.

  • A CBO campaign split between broad targeting and high-intent Proxima AI audiences.

The golden rule: Each creative lives in only one campaign at a time, keeping performance data clear and actionable.

3️⃣ Master the Learning Phase
Meta needs 50 conversions per week to exit the learning phase. Calculate your weekly budget by multiplying your CPA by 50. For instance, with a $40 CPA, allocate $2,000 weekly per ad set. Without sufficient data, Meta’s algorithm can’t optimize effectively.

The Takeaway
Simpler account structures lead to better data, smoother scaling, and lower costs. By focusing on streamlined campaigns, clear attribution, and a data-driven approach, you’ll unlock Meta’s full potential in 2024.

🚀 Boost Sales With Slanted Promotions
Insights from Ariyh

The smallest design choices can often yield the biggest results in marketing. One such choice? Italics. Research shows that slanted fonts create a sense of urgency, encouraging faster decision-making and higher engagement. Here’s how this subtle tweak can amplify your campaigns.

Why Italics Drive Action

1️⃣ Signal Urgency With a Subtle Cue
Italicized text leans forward, subconsciously signaling momentum and urgency. This visual cue nudges people to act faster, as they perceive the promotion as fleeting. For example, in a study, participants were 30% more likely to consider a deal urgent when the offer was italicized versus regular text.

2️⃣ Amplify Clicks and Conversions
In tests, italics increased click-through rates for promotional emails by 3x. Deals like “Buy a $5 gift card for $4” performed significantly better when italicized, creating a psychological push to avoid missing out.

3️⃣ Complement With the Right Audience
Not all shoppers are equally sensitive to deal-based messaging. Italics work best with bargain hunters and frequent promotion enthusiasts. Pair your italicized campaigns with targeted audiences for maximum impact.

The Takeaway
Italics aren’t just a stylistic choice—they’re a behavioral trigger. Using slanted fonts for promotions can enhance urgency, engagement, and purchase intent. Incorporate this technique thoughtfully, pairing it with deal-sensitive audiences and clear, concise messaging.
