  • Terrific guy

    Great information, and so much value. Facebook advertising drives me nuts, but just reading his newsletters and listening to his podcast has saved me so much time and aggravation. I can’t wait to book some time with him when I’m ready.

Why Campaigns Start Strong Then Decline

Campaigns often decline in performance after initial success because the audience most likely to convert, referred to as 'low-hanging fruit', gets exhausted, leading to a lower conversion rate as the campaign progresses.
When to Use Multiple Campaigns or Ad Sets
Q: Are there situations today where you'd still recommend multiple campaigns, and why?
There are always exceptions when you want to add complexity, but too often, advertisers create separate campaigns unnecessarily.
