Ramadan Advertising FAQs

Why do I need to start early for conversions during the season?

Starting early is crucial for advertisers to establish top-of-mind awareness, ensure their brand is foremost in consumers' thoughts during the Ramadan season, gather learnings, and leverage the data for a more stable performance.

How should I consider bidding for my CPA campaigns in high seasons?

We recommend following the highest suggested bid before the season and increasing bids to 2-3X during the season.

Should I be worried about the high bid and its impact on the cost per event?

A high bid on Snapchat guarantees reaching potential customers and staying competitive. The second-highest bid is considered for the final cost, so you might not need to pay the full bid amount.

When does it make sense to adjust my bid vs my budget?

Increasing your bid should not hurt performance if you are using your entire budget. You can adjust your budget and increase it to reach more users while still achieving your goal.

However, if you are not utilizing your full budget, you may need to expand your audience or increase your bid to improve performance.

It's high season already and my campaigns are not delivering the full budget I assigned. What should I do?

To optimize your ad performance, keep these three things in mind:

Compare your average eCPX with your bid. If eCPX is higher, either increase your bid value or check the Suggested Bid Range.
Check the size of your target audience vs the achieved paid reach. Broaden your target audience if necessary.
Avoid creative fatigue by changing your ad creative frequently.

Should I use "fewer ad sets, with larger budgets" or "more ad sets, with smaller budgets"?

We prefer running fewer ad sets with larger budgets to prevent overlapping and give your ads stronger momentum.

How would I know if my Ad is suffering from creative fatigue?

Monitor each creative's daily Click-Through Rate/Open Rate. If you notice a consistent decline over three days, it's a sign of ad fatigue.

If you don't have a new creative, we suggest using Snap Publisher to quickly update the current one with a fresh message, color, or frame.
