Your Social Media Suggestions Could Be Right
Social media platforms are like a dynamic playground for advertisers, each with its own rules.
If you’re rocking a social media campaign on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok, consider following their recommendations to refresh your creatives every 1-2 weeks.
While we understand it might not always be feasible, the key takeaway is clear – social media thrives on freshness, so don’t let your campaigns grow stale.
Observe Your Metrics
Metrics are the breadcrumbs that lead you through the advertising wilderness. Pay close attention to your campaign metrics, mainly frequency and click-through rate (CTR). If your frequency is climbing and your CTR is taking a nosedive, it’s a sign to shake things up.
Don’t panic at the first sight of trouble; instead, observe the trends. If a downward spiral persists, it’s a red flag indicating it’s time for a creative refresh.
Be Sensitive to Seasonal Ads
Picture this: a Christmas billboard still haunting the streets in January. Not a good look, right? Seasonal ads have their moment, and it’s crucial to keep them from lingering past their prime.
An out-of-season ad doesn’t just feel irrelevant; it can turn off your target audience. Be mindful of holidays and seasons, and plan your campaigns accordingly. Your audience will thank you for staying in sync with the calendar.
Refresh Quarterly to Clear Doubts
When facing uncertainty, establishing a routine can be your compass. If you find yourself scratching your head about when to refresh, consider a quarterly schedule.
Refreshing your ads every three months not only aligns with the changing seasons but also ensures your audience is treated to something new regularly.
It’s a sweet spot that strikes a balance between consistency and novelty.
Reach Out to Your Agency
Navigating the intricate landscape of advertising metrics can be like deciphering a foreign language.
That’s where an agency steps in. Trust the experts–your media agency–to provide valuable insights. They know your campaign inside out and bring years of experience to the table.
