📉 Strategy 1: Defeat High CPM via Frequency Capping
When ad frequencies climb above 3.5 views per user, click-through rates (CTR) collapse and CPM costs swell. Restructure your ad set rules to cap frequency at 3 impressions per 7-day period. This rotation spreads your budget to net-new prospects, keeping impression costs low and ad relevance high.
🎯 Strategy 2: Focus on Hook Rates (3-Second Views)
Paid social algorithms reward high-engagement ads with lower bid CPMs. Improve your "Hook Rate" (ratio of 3-second views to impressions) by testing high-contrast dynamic text overlays in the first 2 seconds of video creatives. Lowering bounce rates signals quality, which reduces platform ad auction penalty fees.
