@JordanPlatten I used to work at Vayner, Gary is a G. His concept of patience and life is long is more about playing the Wong game with the things that you do less about trying to achieve random wins. Guy was one of the most genuine owners I’ve ever worked with.

From June 1 to June 30 we are going to run one of the biggest cost cap versus highest volume experiments in Facebook ads ever. The results of this test will likely inform the strategy that we use for the remainder of 2024 for meta ads.

@ashvinmelwani You pay 100% no question. The recruiter has vetted and pre determined that this person is ready and capable for you. That’s their entire job. They only blur info so everyone doesn’t cheat the system and do this.

@nkecom Could not physically agree more with this. We transferred every single account that we operate to cost Caps and a few to bid Caps within the last year. Not only did our results get better across-the-board but our hands-on management took significantly less time. This is the way

At the beginning of the year we started to shift our Facebook ad strategy across our clients from highest volume to cost caps. I was nervous at first but I truly can’t imagine running an account without college controls at this point.

@nkecom I’m all about it and want this to be the case for nearly everyone but in the accounts that we have let this rip we have generally seen worse performance than a few basic breakdowns. I’m not saying we need hundreds of interest anymore but a few breakdowns, and keeping everything

@zachmstuck It is quite concerning how many brands come to us wanting to expand into more channels when they are only spending $30,000 a month in Facebook and Google

This morning me and my team audited a small brand spending around $30,000 per month across Meta and Google… Here are the 5 BIG red flags that we found. 🚩 using a mix of cost cap and lowest cost in meta 🚩 Over segmentation , 22 unique ad sets, nearly all in learning 🚩

@NudeCurtis @JordanPlatten I think its also important to mention that Garys advice is actually very helpful even tho it is generic. Patience and playing the long game is such incredible advice when you get to the next stage in business. It is not tactical for sure.

@blvckledge Most true thing in my feed today. It’s incredible how lower pricing leads to worse clients and higher churn. We revisited all of our pricing at the beginning of this year. now everyone on the team is not staffed on as many accounts but making better margins

Business idea: we made too much food SMS list. Example – bakery closes at 5 PM, 30 minutes before close and SMS goes out with a list of the items that they made too much of. There’s a sale with delivery options sent to a text list. Call it leftovers.
