Radomski asserts that a third measurement needs to happen before the campaign begins or terms the “pre-campaign measurement” to optimize performance further. He explains that “pre-campaign measurement in the form of experiments and testing can help marketers optimize campaigns before they run.”

How to Scale Facebook Ads for More Leads and Sales

By Tara Zirker | Jan 11, 2021

Read the article here.

You have your Facebook Ads running, and now you want to scale your results. Tara Zirker introduces two scaling concepts: verticle and horizontal scaling to drive more leads and sales. Vertical ad scaling is when you put small ad budgets across a lot of audiences. One of the benefits is that you’re less dependent on individual audiences. When you have many audiences performing well, it’s not as problematic if one audience stops performing. Horizontal ad scaling is when you have far fewer audiences at a bigger budget, letting the algorithm work in your favor. It doesn’t work for all businesses, so you need to test audiences with horizontal scaling.
