    Facebook - Profitable campaigns suddenly stop spending ad money.

    Yea as you said - seems like you have to wait it out. Started working again. Made some changes and started optimizing for one step up in the funnel (instead of conversions) which seemed to kick start it again.

    Facebook - Profitable campaigns suddenly stop spending ad money.

    Thanks for the replies. I'm letting FB optimize for all ads. No manual bids. That's what is confusing me. Eg: today most ads (testing 1 ad per segment) are spending their max daily targets, but my best performing ad (conversion wise) has only spent 10% of the daily target.

    Facebook - Profitable campaigns suddenly stop spending ad money.

    Say I have an ad setup with a daily spend of $100/day. For the first week everything is going well and I can hit my $100/day target. These ads have good CTR, have good ad relevance scores (10/10), low frequency score and have had conversions over the first week. Then out of the blue, without...

    Facebook - Profitable campaigns suddenly stop spending ad money.

    Hi All, I've been playing around with facebook ads and segmenting target groups/desktop/mobile to gather information. I have some profitable ads, which for some reason stop spending the daily ad limit after a while. These ads have a good CTR, have conversions, 10/10 ad relevance, very low...

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    As above. You currently have an asset creating money - so you aren't quitting your job and going into the unknown. Not sure how this is looked at in Canada - would you be able to apply for 6 months leave without pay? Usually not very easy to get, even here in Aus.

    US import tax - am I liable & can I claim it back (Australian company)

    We have a free trade agreement with the US. This might help reduce or remove any duties if importing an Aus made product to the USA. You'll still be up for US taxes though.

    IDEA 
    Ohh and I was supposed to say - if you are starting something in the UK - start it up. Don't wait. Work your a$$ off to the stage that you can get it to a fulfillment centre.

    Intro and My First Executed Idea

    IDEA 
    I agree. Travel to Oz. You never know where life will take you next. In my early 20's I've done a fair bit of travelling, which has cost a lot of money, but I wouldn't trade that for anything. Sure it put business on the back burner, but you can deal with that when you're young. I actually came...

    Intro and My First Executed Idea

    IDEA 
    What kind of business are you in that will tie you to Wales if it takes off? You'll have to look about running a business under your visa - but if it's not supported maybe you can look at creative ways to run a business. The only thing I see is, you have 18 months in Aus - which is a bit of...

    IDEA 
    Are you using the FB conversion pixel? Otherwise it should showup in your analytics where the source was from - It should show facebook or similar? If you want to go down the path of 3PL in Aus - have your China factory FedEx a package to a 3PL in Aus. Shipping from China to Aus is cheap. I...

    IDEA 
    $75 after a 60% discount is MASSIVE for pair of sunnies. Is this for 2-3 day shipping or something? I know here in Aus and USA they have international flat rate boxes. Maybe give the option of a week long delivery at a cheaper price. I used to ship USPS flat rate boxes from USA to AUS for ~$60...

    IDEA 
    100% QC will be expensive, but will certainly help when you scale. Just need to be very clear what the 3rd party QC should be looking for. You should have a good idea of the type of defects that occur after inspecting your current stock. Have you looked at advertising to any other countries...

    wilddog is right on the money. Do your own 3rd party testing. I'd be doing this when you get your sample and before you place your next order. I'm in the baby furniture industry - and in the last 6-8 months there has been a huge amount of re-calls here in Aus for cots/cribs. All the...

    IDEA 
    Vick, you have already paid customs/taxes the first time the sunnies entered Canada. I wonder if there is anyone in the customs dept/shipping dept you can speak with to explain the situation and see if you are exempt from paying all these brokerage fees again during product returns. Essentially...

    Awesome work! Here in Aussie land we don't have the same level of craziness when it comes to USA sales. I saw on TV the carnage that goes on when stores open up with all the people flooding in and fighting for the last items in the store. Insane stuff.

    IDEA 
    Have you thought about FB advertising and targeting countries in the Southern Hemisphere? Australia and New Zealand are rolling into summer now - perfect timing. You would have to charge for shipping from the US - but that won't be a deal breaker. Could target car followers, motocross...

    Congrats on the new addition to your family!! Regarding DHL - that price is crazy! I know this is your first shipment and you needed it straight away. Eventually you will work up to the level where you are importing by the container (even if it's half a container). DHL has quoted you $2900 to...
