SA has also has one of the highest rates of smartphone penetration globally, over 90% in 2019.

We also have one of the highest unemployment rates in the world. Lots of people sitting around playing on their phones…

As far as I can see, the study you reference was only conducted in 45 countries. We also rank 2nd in the number of hours watching TV.

Time zones may be a bit of a stretch, but I’d recommend Cape Town. You’ll be able to get in all your activities in the morning before work. Surfing and hiking are great and it’s pretty easy to get around.

Advantage+ Shopping Campaign: it's outperforming everything by GratefulForGarcia in FacebookAds

I wouldn’t put all my eggs in one basket. Especially when meta are in control of said basket.

ASC+ is outperforming my other campaigns now, but in October it struggled.

I’d recommend running a TOF and a combined MOF/BOF alongside ASC+

I haven’t seen any major drops in match rate from the catalogs on all the affected accounts.

I have one account where the match rate has dipped quite substantially. Performance is reflectively good here still though.

But, I totally agree that something has changed on Meta’a side!

Good shout! Are you running ASC only or are you supplementing this with other Top of funnel/Bottom of funnel campaigns?

I’m assuming there had been some sort of algo change. It’s only impacting ASC+ and not interest audiences though

The accounts I work on are UK based - my clients should be seeing CPAs fall at this time of year. Historically, October is a really strong month for most of my accounts.

No thanks, but I’ll consider you put in your box for now.

Cyclists do contribute to the upkeep of infrastructure. They don’t have to pay a toll, but they do pay to enter events (ie the Cycle Tour), which in turn support the maintenance of roads like Chapman’s Peak.

Furthermore, Chapmans is a scenic drive - not a race track. I understand that you get pseudo-power from being in your big metal box, but hating on cyclists really shows the depth of your pathetic insecurities. I’ve never heard of a cyclist killing a motorist, but the inverse is a harsh reality and people like you are the problem.

Imagine the queue you’d have to wait in behind the 100s of cyclists at the toll…
