We structured everything in 3 different phases
PHASE 1: TESTING.
Here is where you test New Creatives, New Audiences, Winning Creatives with New Audiences, and New Creatives with Winning Audiences.
The purpose of this campaign is to get purchases at lowest acquisition costs.
From there, based on the data. I will see what headlines work, the ad copy, images, videos, and audiences.
Then I will take it to Phase 2.
PHASE 2. TESTING POTENTIAL WINNERS
I would duplicate the ad sets from Phase 1 and put it into Phase 2 campaigns. I would then slowly start increasing the budget by either duplicating the performing ad set within the same campaign and increasing the budget or duplicating it and increasing the budget.
For each duplicated ad set, I would duplicate it 5-6x and turn off the bad performing ad sets within 2-3 days.
In this account, $200, $60, and $20 ad set budgets performed best.
Phase 2 CBO level campaigns were also used.
I would get the winners from Phase 2 ABO campaign and put it into CBO. Duplicate the campaign 5x and either set it at different budgets or keep it all at the same budget and see which one at the best CPAs.
Within Phase 2, I would test different placement, devices, and countries from the best performing ad sets of Phase 2 campaigns.
And as always, being strict with my KPIs and turning off any bad performers.
Lots of scaling was done within Phase 2.
- Duplicating winning ad sets and keeping the same budget.
- Duplicating winning ad sets and increasing budget.
- Targeting several countries at once based on winning creatives and winning audiences.
- Stacking Interest stacks with Lookalike audiences within the same ad set. And repeating what I mentioned in the first 2 bullets.
PHASE 3: SCALING
Here is the Best Scaling Strategies We Used:
Cloud Method: We got the best/winning Ad sets from Phase 2 in one CBO campaign. 10-15 ad sets in the campaign. Set the CBO Budget at $3,000 / Day.
1 Million Dollars in less than 6 Months.
