Ad Campaign Managing Strategies: Funnel Strategy

In Facebook advertising, an ad or a group of ads (ad set) may not perform as well the following day as they did the previous one. One of the main goals of automation is to spot poor performance as early as possible, switching off poor performing ads while leaving better performing ads running.

This strategy is called Funnel Strategy due to the strong connection with a conversion funnel, for example:

2. If you notice that a creative ad spend has already spent a lot, greater than n% of your goal CPA, and didn’t result in any sales, then there’s a high probability it won’t perform well today. So, according to our assumption above we shut off this ad if CPC >$2 & SPEND > $30:
