We teamed up with @shoelace to put together 7 big insights from over 10,000 campaigns run in the past year 👀

Here are the highlights 👇🧵
INSIGHT #1 //

Audiences are relying more on authentic ad experiences to identify with brands and build trust.

@shoelace found that leveraging UGC outperformed ads with traditional creatives - especially when the UGC aligns with content the audience typically consumes. 👀
INSIGHT #2 //

When creating lookalikes, brands should dive deeper than conventional past purchasers.

Narrowing down LLA audiences by seasonality & specific product purchases showed higher performance than broader audience LLAs, even at a higher lookalike percentage!
INSIGHT #3 //

Audiences prefer more immersive ad experiences, provided the messaging and creatives are of high quality.

In experiments, @shoelace noticed that Instant Experience ads with the catalog sales objective outperformed the traditional Dynamic Product Ad carousel. 🎠

Compared to other industries, apparel brands often have a larger catalog with a broad range of pricing.

As a result, ads must be structured strategically with AOV and acquisition costs in mind to achieve a sustainable return over time. ⏰

Click to Messenger Ads allow brands to directly engage audiences.

We found that leveraging a conversational approach to Facebook Ads resulted in 6-14x higher ROAS and increased audience engagement compared to other ad types.
