Is Your CPM Too High? Immediate Actions to Lower Your Facebook Ad Costs

When running Facebook ads, it is a common problem that the CPM (cost per thousand impressions) is too high. Although reducing CPM can save advertising costs, the ultimate goal is advertising effectiveness, that is, achieving higher sales or conversion rates through advertising. Therefore, we need to consider CPM, ROAS (return on advertising expenditure), conversion costs and other factors.

The following are five key factors to solve the problem of too high CPM of Facebook ads

Advertising goals

Advertising goals directly affect CPM. When choosing to buy advertising goals, Facebook will show ads to potential buyers. The CPM of such ads is usually higher than that of interactive ads. Because the value of buying customers is higher, the competition is more intense. Adjust the delivery strategy according to different advertising goals.

Advertising quality and experience

Ad quality and user experience are also important factors affecting CPM. If the advertising material is excellent, the user interaction is positive, and there is less negative feedback, Facebook will reduce CPM and increase advertising coverage. Test through a variety of advertising materials and select the material with the best interactive effect for purchasing ads.

Competition

Facebook has millions of advertisers, and the competition for advertising space is fierce. The CPM of different markets varies greatly. Consider choosing less competitive markets for advertising, or optimizing your ad audience to make it more targeted to reduce the number of competitors. In addition, you can try different ad placements and choose those that are less competitive but still effective.

Audience size

Audience size is closely related to the degree of competition. If the target audience size is too small, the competition between advertisers will be more intense, resulting in an increase in CPM. Generally speaking, it is ideal for the pointer of the ad audience size to be in the middle. Set the audience size reasonably to avoid too small an audience group. You can refer to the pointer in the audience information of the ad group to ensure that the audience size is moderate. For beginners, you can start with a larger audience group and then gradually refine and optimize.

Placement

Different ad placements have different levels of competition and effectiveness. Generally, Facebook News Feed and Instagram News Feed have better results, but if you only choose these placements, the CPM may be very high. It is recommended that beginners use automatic placements to let the Facebook system optimize itself according to the advertising results and select the best placement combination. As experience accumulates, you can try different placement combinations for testing to find the best delivery strategy.

Through the above strategies, we can effectively deal with the problem of Facebook advertising CPM being too high, improve advertising effectiveness, and achieve a higher return on investment. Combining these factors and solutions, we can develop a more comprehensive and effective advertising plan to ensure that while controlling costs, we maximize advertising effectiveness.
