7 Tips to Maximize Your Facebook CPAS Performance

Advertising your Tokopedia products through Facebook CPAS doesn’t stop at just creating the campaign. There are several things you need to pay attention to.
  1. Use the Product Set feature in the catalog to group products into different sets
The product sets you have can be divided based on certain price ranges.
For example, Product Set A has a price range of Rp30,000 to Rp50,000, while Product Set B has a price range of Rp60,000 to Rp100,000.
Remember, avoid using product sets with fewer than 20 products so that your ad campaign can produce optimal results.
When creating a Product Set, you can arrange the custom label naming format included in the catalog, like the example below:
  • Custom label 0: contains the product category
  • Custom label 1: contains the product sub-category
For instance, if you are selling various souvenirs and want to create a product set specifically for keychains, you can fill in Custom label 0 with the category “gifts” and Custom label 1 with the sub-category “gifts,” namely “keychains.”

  1. Utilize the Audience feature
In advertising with Facebook CPAS, there are 2 types of available audiences: prospecting and retargeting.

It is recommended not to combine prospecting and retargeting audiences in the same campaign by activating Advantage Campaign Budget.
Doing so may cause the retargeting ad set’s audience to be expanded, which in turn could result in the underperformance of the prospecting ad set.
To achieve optimal results for both audiences, create two separate campaigns: one for prospecting and one for retargeting.
This way, both can perform better and deliver maximum outcomes.

  1. To achieve better sales results, activate optimization for conversion events
When first launching your ads, it is recommended to run 2 campaigns: one for prospecting and one for retargeting audiences.
For ads with prospecting audiences, it is recommended to use optimization for View content or Add to cart, as illustrated below.

For ads with retargeting targeting, we recommend using Purchase optimization.

  1. Activate Advantage Campaign Budget at the campaign level
By activating Campaign Budget Optimization or CBO, your ad budget will automatically be allocated to the ad set with better performance compared to the other ad sets.

  1. Use Advantage+ placements to display your ads in more placements efficiently
The more placements your ads appear in, the more potential buyers will see them.
This can help you reach new potential buyers and increase sales.

  1. In the Ad setup menu, create a minimum of 3 ads in 1 ad set for ideal results
When creating ads, it is recommended to create at least 3 ads in one ad set to give your ads more variety.
In addition, you can identify which ad format is more preferred by your audience and delivers the best performance.
Facebook will also be able to optimize your ads by rotating which ads are shown.
In the Format selection, it is recommended to combine Carousel and Collection formats so that audiences can see more varied ads.

Please note, the Facebook system needs about 7–14 days to learn your ad settings.
On day 15 and beyond, you can begin to monitor performance and optimize it for even better results.
Take a look at the illustration of Facebook CPAS ad optimization below.

  1. Set the CPAS ad destination to the Tokopedia app when setting up the ad
For better performance, it is recommended to use optimization toward the Tokopedia app.
When setting up the ad, select Manual destination in the destination section and choose the Tokopedia app.
With this method, potential buyers who click your ad will be directed straight to the Tokopedia app on their device.
Your ad performance will also surely improve!
