Facebook Ads: The 'Inverted Pyramid' Strategy! 💡
Meta's latest advertising data reveals that businesses using multi-layered targeting strategies see a 43% higher return on ad spend compared to single-audience campaigns.

The strategy works in three distinct phases.
First, cast a wide net with engaging content ads.
Then, retarget those who engaged with more specific value propositions.
Finally, present conversion-focused ads to your warmest audiences.
What makes this strategy particularly effective is its alignment with consumer psychology. Research shows that people need 5-7 touchpoints before making a purchase decision. By structuring your ads this way, you're creating these touchpoints strategically and cost-effectively.

Map out a 30-day Facebook ad campaign using the Inverted Pyramid structure.
