Facebook Ad Fatigue

Hey guys,

I'm currently running an ad campaign for my business and has become fatigued in just a couple of days. My targeting is local, so my potential reach is limited.

So far I've reached 2,600 people out of a potential 72,000, but I don't know how to reach more people in the audience that I have chosen. I'm not sure what the problem is. My daily budget is less than £5. Is this too small? Or does the problem lie in the ad, itself and I just need to keep split testing?

Is there any way of running more successful ads, without changing the targeting. Haven't had a lot of experience doing this, so some help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks.

  • Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but now isn't a good time to invest in Facebook. It's going crazy.

    You might opt to invest in placing your ads somewhere else at the moment. I hope this would be resolved the soonest because I am not happy with my loss because of FB ads.

      What makes you say that Facebook right now is crazy?
    • I agree with the above quote, Facebook is changing how they show ads especially on there news feed so it will be a lot harder to reach your audience.I have seen this affect myself when I have been running Facebook ads compared to last year.
  • You'll know if your daily budget is too low if it is being maxed out every day. Chances are, that's the case if you have only reached 3.6% of your target market. Then again, I suppose it is possible that only 3.6% of that potential market has signed into Facebook while your ads were running.

    • Thank you for your reply, dave.

      The first case that you said could be correct. Typically, my ads run throughout most of the day, and at times where fb is most active.

      My frequency is at 2.28, but I would prefer that the ad is exposed to more people who have not seen it before. The analytics show that there has been some engagement, so would it be best to scale up the ads that were most successful?

      Thanks again

  • What objective did you set? If your frequency is 2.28 you probably have it set for engagement or traffic. If you start a new campaign and use 'reach' as the objective you will reach more people but they will probably only see the ad once, which it sounds like is what you want.

    You can also edit your ad and go to the 'budget and schedule' section and look at 'Optimisation for ad delivery'. For most objectives, you can choose whether you want to reach the maximum number of people or reach people multiple times.

    • Thanks for your reply, Toby. The objective was set for traffic, and the ad itself was a discount offer. It's still hard to tell where the problem is.
