Running Ads on Meta

With the holidays officially here and Black Friday Cyber Monday (BFCM) right around the corner, it’s time to take advantage of the prime ad space now that political campaigns are winding down. As the dust settles from election season, ad costs are expected to drop, making this the perfect moment to push your holiday marketing campaigns full throttle on Meta.

Holidays bring a unique, high-intent audience. Consumers are actively searching for gifts, special deals, and inspiration for memorable experiences, which gives brands an incredible opportunity to capture this attention and turn it into revenue. And since most brands are competing for holiday dollars, it’s essential to keep a close eye on which of your ad sets are performing best. One effective way to do this is by using Meta’s Ads Manager reporting tools to visualize your data and optimize your approach.

A good place to start is by creating a report at Meta Ads Manager Reporting. Begin by tracking Click-Through Rate (CTR) per ad set. This metric is crucial as it shows which ads are compelling enough to drive user action. A high CTR generally signals that your ad is resonating with your target audience, while a low CTR may indicate a need for adjustments in creative, copy, or targeting.

Consider adding metrics like impressions and frequency to your report to get a broader view of each ad set’s health. Impressions will show you how often your ad is being viewed, while frequency reveals how many times the same person is seeing it. Keeping frequency in check helps prevent ad fatigue, which can harm performance. Regularly reviewing these metrics helps you make informed adjustments, ensuring that your holiday campaigns stay competitive and cost-effective.

UGC Photo Updates for Your Website 

This holiday season, let user-generated content (UGC) and quality product images work for you. UGC is a trust-builder: 84% of consumers say they’re more likely to buy from brands featuring authentic customer photos and reviews. In fact, recent studies show UGC boosts purchase decisions for nearly 80% of shoppers.

Take a page from Meehan Formulations’ playbook—they refreshed their site with lifestyle photos and UGC, which elevated engagement and conversions. For your brand, pair customer photos with pro product shots to drive credibility and stand out in the holiday rush. It’s the perfect combo for turning holiday traffic into loyal customers.
