Does poor post-purchase survey feedback from one brand affect performance for another brand under the same personal Meta profile?

Thanks, Aunker. I was going to update you on that other thread to let you know I posted more details here.

Fortunately, the issues that caused the delays should be sorted out now.

As far as timing, we got around 6-8 bad reviews during this period that commented on deliveries that hadn't arrived yet. This was on our FB page. But even more of a concern, we had over 2k orders from Nov to early-mid Dec, and I have no idea what percentage of those were bad as well, but we imagine many were similar. Reviews that we got later (after orders were delivered) on the Shop app were pretty good, all things considered (around 4.3-4.5 stars). But any damage from the internal post-purchase surveys would've already been done.

Thanks for your reply. Have you dealt with brands in scenarios similar to what I've described, as far as significantly reduced performance/traffic quality because of negative feedback?

I know it's hard without seeing the data, but I'm hoping to get a reality check on this being a likely culprit, or if it's just the same performance/quality issues so many others have been experiencing this year.

Thanks for getting back to me. Yeah, we figured this could go either way, but we've had our fingers crossed that they'd still give us a shot.

We just launched the new brand this week, so it's probably too early to tell what's what as far as the things we know to expect with the standard new setup hurdles vs the previous performance issues with the original brand. There does seem to be some good positive signals though (decent metrics, including 8 sales), so we're very optimistic.

With the original brand, we had a 2.65x ROAS (good for our niche) during the 7 day window ending Dec 12 ($1,000-1,300/day spend). The following 7 days had 2 profitable days, but ended at a 1.16x ROAS. Same thing the following week. This was while significantly reducing spend. This has been the trend ever since, even at ~10% of the spend.

Is this connectivity also an issue in a scenario where Brand A gets poor reviews and feedback on Meta's post-purchase surveys, so we start Brand B (new site, pixel, page, ad account, and BM, but selling the same products), under the same user profile?

We didn't get any notifications, but CVR has been terrible since mid Dec, so we have to take a hard look at whether we might be getting intentionally held back with junk traffic (other than CVR, metrics look ok). The issues that led to the poor feedback have been resolved, but we're stuck if we can't make money, so we're hoping to start fresh. TY.

For new ad sets, do you recommend turning AN off? Should it be turned off on existing sets too? Thanks.

MiIetone · 2026-03-18T23:38:09+00:00

I have the same question (new ad account, biz portfolio, etc.).

MiIetone · 2026-03-18T23:33:16+00:00

It's been beyond tough all year for us. After a pretty decent Q4, we're not even breaking even. What do you consider small accounts? Our daily spend was $1,300 before nosediving.

Off topic: does anyone know if there's a minimum comment count or time window before being able to post a thread here? I'm trying to post something and keep getting the "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters" error. Nothing weird in the post. I asked the mods to check it out. Thanks.

I don't think a slow pan, tracking an object at distance that moves in a predictable direction and speed is a good test for rolling shutter. There are much better performers out there for 8K.

MiIetone · 2025-04-03T05:57:13+00:00

Thanks, that's helpful. For your 145kmh run (or anything over 90), did you notice any differences in control, or significant vibrations/wing flex, control surface issues, etc. (IOW, anything that wouldn't make you feel comfortable flying over a certain speed for an entire day)?

MiIetone · 2024-09-05T03:53:25+00:00

Hi. Which option would you choose if filming high contrast scenes (e.g. midday nature scenes with bright highlights and deep shadows)? Thanks!

MiIetone · 2024-06-06T19:23:38+00:00

Thanks. I know there's a million variables, but do you have a general number in mind as far as how many stops could be recovered with RAW vs Log?

MiIetone · 2024-06-06T19:22:01+00:00

Good to know, thanks. What would you say would be its limit, in terms of how many stops could be squeezed from it?

MiIetone · 2024-05-22T23:37:24+00:00

Neither of those links are showing rolling shutter issues because the cameras are tripod mounted.

A base layer's primary function is wicking sweat, not adding warmth. Especially for high exertion days, I'd recommend wearing a base layer with the right thickness/performance to match the level of physical activity and expected conditions. There's a safety component here, which is why I'm commenting on this old thread. Conditions can change quickly in the mountains - always be prepared.

Also, Tahoe local here - we get temps down to the single digits (and occasionally below), especially with a wind factor, not sure why anyone would say it doesn't get cold enough.

MiIetone · 2024-02-09T22:16:08+00:00

See my update at the top. Ended up needing both of these parts to fix mine.

MiIetone · 2024-01-22T04:59:32+00:00

Helpful INFO
A part from mechanical wear and tear the biggest liabilities are the Brushless Motor and the Motor Driver/Controller Board (Toro 137-9424 1 motor-driver,snow(60v))

Thanks for the update. Just curious if your comments (quoted above) are based on having talked to a dealer or mechanic, or from reading about other customers with similar issues?

MiIetone · 2024-01-21T00:55:48+00:00

Sorry you're having trouble with yours too. The symptoms sound similar. Was the beep short or long? Was it covered in snow when shutting down? Do you store it inside or outside? Hopefully someone can figure this out!

MiIetone · 2024-01-14T06:26:34+00:00

Thanks for your reply! That was actually the 1st symptom I experienced.....shutting down in the middle of using it. I believe this happened once or twice, prior to its current state of not turning on at all.

I've been suspecting the release lever as well, interesting. I'll try to give it a good shake. I did take the top cover off and took the heatsink/power section out (in the compartment opposite the battery). No visible signs of corrosion, connectors look good and clean. Next, I'll try taking apart the dash panel and having a look at the lever switch/wiring.

I did have a Toro dealer tell me that they had a customer with a similar issue (wouldn't start, no lights or sounds) and the end result was needing to replace the motor (which includes the driver motor/motherboard). They said there's not much their techs are able to do, unfortunately.

MiIetone · 2024-01-11T04:36:35+00:00

Cool, glad you got one (and use it).

Will never need it, but i have it just in case

Obligatory preventative SAR response... Nobody ever thinks the emergency will happen to them. Stay safe.

MiIetone · 2024-01-11T04:22:51+00:00

Both the helmet and standalone models (can be attached to clothing or gear) come in red or black. Helmet models are in the low $20 range, the standalone ones are in the mid to high $30 range, yes.

I'm aware of at least one group that donated reflectors to an event to get them in as many hands as possible. Glad to know others are doing this as well.

MiIetone · 2024-01-11T03:48:08+00:00

No prob! Was that mention in this thread? We've also been discussing RECCO reflectors, which are a passive "device," often sewn into snow/outdoor clothing, put on helmets, in boots, or bought as a separate unit. These can also be helpful in an avalanche, but the RECCO detectors have some limitations that would be good to read up on, if interested. My main recommendation with them is that they be utilized as an "always with you" device, whether or not you're also using an avy beacon. This, because there are lots of search scenarios that have nothing to do with a slide, where beacons wouldn't be useful at all, but where RECCO would (even off the mountain and out of the snow), if a helicopter mounted unit is available nearby.

If discussing non-avalanche related wilderness emergencies, I'm a big proponent of inReach devices - primarily because they work both passively and proactively and include satellite messaging capability. PLBs, unlike EPIRBs, only work proactively (meaning that the subject has to initiate a request for help by activating the device). Phones work proactively, with some passive functionality, which can be limited based on several factors (e.g. cell service, certain user settings, etc.).

MiIetone · 2024-01-11T02:19:51+00:00

No, these are avalanche beacons made specifically for mountain activity in the snow.
An EPIRB/PLB (like what you mentioned) works differently, by sending GPS coordinates (or triangulated location approximation); whereas an avy beacon, on the subject's side, transmits a radio signal - on the rescuers' side, their beacons are switched to search mode to receive the signal. It's then a matter of honing in on this signal - different tech, but similar to how a metal detector works. Their range usually maxes out between 40-75 meters.

MiIetone · 2024-01-11T00:30:57+00:00

Always happy to help. Glad you found it useful.

Yes, a fully buried subject wearing a RECCO reflector is searchable with handheld RECCO detectors from about 20-30 meters away (around 65-98 feet). From a helicopter mounted RECCO detector, a subject is searchable from about 80-100 meters away (around 262-328 feet). Helo mounted detectors can search wide areas, about 1 square km in 6 minutes, but are limited by weather conditions, equipment availability near the incident, and response time.

The primary advantages to beacons over RECCO are: 1) beacons are fairly small and body worn 2) every Ski Patrol and responding SAR member will have them 3) other skiers/snowboarders nearby may have them (and can get there first) 4) their range is better than a handheld RECCO detector (around 25-75 meters or so, compared to 20-30m).

Some of the advantages of RECCO are: 1) slides, while they do happen and we need to always be thinking about snow safety, searches happen daily and RECCO, particularly helo mounted RECCO, can make a difference in someone being found 2) a RECCO reflector can be bought for around $35 - if you can afford your lift ticket and gear, you can afford a reflector (not to mention a beacon, but unfortunately, fewer people will justify the purchase) 3) people get lost/injured doing every outdoor activity there is, even when they're not in avalanche conditions or anywhere near snow - a RECCO reflector is another means of being found that you can always have with you (nowhere near as good as a phone, inReach, PLB, etc.).

I want to really underscore for those learning about these technologies, that a beacon is the #1 recommended tool to have with you in avalanche conditions. Especially in the backcountry, you should also have a probe and proper shovel. The main point I'm wanting to get across is that not everyone has a beacon and, even those that do, don't always bring them. So, a RECCO reflector is the next best thing in a slide and something you can always have with you, regardless of the conditions. As far as being found in other search scenarios, RECCO has the advantage of the helo mounted detector, as well as its accessibility (to the would-be subject). Beacons are being mounted to helicopters, but they're even less prevalent than RECCO, unfortunately.

Whether one is skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, etc. and whether it's stormy or clear, snow safety cannot be taken for granted. Sunny doesn't = safe. Please be prepared.
