Ad fatigue kills performance. Fast. But instead of endlessly relaunching campaigns, we use a tight, scalable Meta structure that keeps things fresh without overcomplicating. Here’s how we do it:
1. Split CBO for Stability
Run your top ads in a Campaign Budget Optimisation (CBO) campaign, but split them across 2-3 ad sets.
- Assign each a minimum spend (e.g. £100/day)
- Prevents Facebook from dumping all budget into one fading ad set
- Keeps volume steady when performance shifts
This setup helped one of our retail clients scale from £2k/day to £6k/day without spiking CPAs.
2. Promote New Winners Weekly
Every 3-4 days, review your testing campaigns.
- Move new winners into your CBO rotation
- Retire underperformers before they drag down results
It’s a simple rhythm: test, promote, repeat. Keeps your best ideas in front of fresh eyes.
3. Recycle “Failed” Ads
Set up a low-cost Advantage+ Shopping Campaign (ASC) with a cost cap.
- Drop in creative that missed in testing
- Minimal risk, easy incremental lift
We’ve seen a 10-15% revenue bump from ads we nearly killed off.
Why It Works
- Simple: Easy to manage, even at scale
- Measurable: Clear structure for testing and scaling
- Repeatable: Works across accounts, verticals, and budgets
If your ads keep stalling out, you don’t need more tricks – you need a system. This one works.
