Automated Bestsellers Promotion

In 2017, Facebook introduced dynamic ads for broad audiences. Dynamic ads pull product images and details from a retailer’s catalogue, automatically populating ads for the selected product. Facebook chooses which products to promote by combining its repository of demographic and behavioral data with product-specific statistics gathered from your Facebook Pixel, App SDK or external offline sets. With this data, Facebook determines an optimal to come up with the optimal product recommendations for each individual. 

Dynamic ads allowed for the creation of automated prospecting campaigns that performed even better than the manual campaigns.

What's the issue?

If the online retailer has a particularly large product catalogue, Facebook’s algorithm will optimize for the metrics that Facebook is interested in (such as engagement) rather than those the retailer is interested in. This focus can lead Facebook to continue offering the same products over and over again. In fact, Facebook often displays less than 50% of what’s in the catalogue, and in some cases, as little at 10%.

Marketers need the ability to optimize their campaigns based on what is being promoted, rather than just who it’s being promoted to, and what bids & budgets are set.

What's the fix?
