How to Deal with Ad Fatigue #2629
December 07, 2023

In episode #2629, We discuss how to deal with ad fatigue in the ever-evolving world of marketing. We define ad fatigue as the decline in performance due to repetitive ads. Signs of ad fatigue include increasing frequency, decreasing impressions-to-clicks ratio, and dropping conversion rates. To combat ad fatigue, we recommend changing up creatives, testing different call-to-actions and hooks, expanding targeting, excluding past viewers, utilizing different ad formats, and remarketing to non-converters. We emphasize the importance of continually testing new creatives, landing pages, and audiences to combat ad fatigue.
