** Middle of Funnel (MOF)
- 50% of daily ad spend budget is allocated to MOF campaigns
- retargeting WARM AUDIENCES
- testing targeting cold audiences with offer or "sale ad"

*** event goal campaign
- Conversion Objective > Purchase
- could be selling or collecting leads

- have facebook find and optimize ads for users most likely to CONVERT
- build Custom Audiences with most likely to convert

*** start a retargeting campaign
- you can start a retargeting campaign with as little as ONE person in the custom audience

- best to have 1000 in custom audience before retargeting



** buyer retargeting
- facebook campaigns work better at retargeting than emailing

*** testimonials + user generated content
- photos / videos of customers using the product
- create a contest to get past customers to create content for you

*** reach campaign for past buysers
- set conversion to Awareness (REACH)
- use that instead of SALES

*** strategies
**** purchase event in 7 days
***** process
1. create a custom audience of users who have made a PURCHASE event in the past 7 days
2. retardget this audience with an Awareness (REACH) objective campaign
3. at the AD SET level, set the *Frequence Cap* to 1 impression every 3 days
4. Create an ad with a selfie video (best engagement results by far for us)
   - say something like: ~Thank you so much for your purchase from [company name]! We are so excited to have you as part of our community! If you need anything, please feel free to reach out to us! Thanks again!~

***** why does this work
- extremely effective
- people appreciate being appreciated!

**** purchase event 30 and 60 days
create two Custom Audiences of users who made a PURCHASE event in the past 30 and 60 days.

***** 30 days
-  Let customers use your product/ service for 30 days before asking for a review via email
- this eliminates the users that are unhappy or already claimed a refund in the first 30 days

***** 60 days
1. gamify (ie contest) the creation of user generated content
   - e.g. tesimonial / review
     - videos
     - photos
2. create an ad targeting "Purchase in past 60 days" Custom Audience and *exclude* "Purchase in past 30 days" Audience
   - we are targeting buyers between 31-60 days

** optimize for conversions
- facebook is seeking users that are most likely to CONVERT (view content, signup, buy, etc)
  - target that user as much as possible

- SALES conversion campaigns are the most expensive / high CPM user to market
  - split test other campaigns
    - Video
    - Traffic
    - etc

| sales conversion type | goal         |
|-----------------------+--------------|
| TOF                   | View Content |
