Dog food ads

Which dog food brands run the most ads?

The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.

How to run dog food ads on Facebook and Instagram

1. 1

   Show the product in use in the first three seconds

   The scroll decides in a second or two, so the product goes in the first frame, in someone's hand or on someone's body, not after an intro. Video leads in this category.

2. 2

   Let customers make the claim

   A review, a creator trying it, a real buyer’s routine: customer voice carries a claim further than the brand can. Run several voices against each other and keep the one that sells.

3. 3

   Give a reason to buy now

   A bundle, a first-order discount or free shipping turns interest into an order. 16 percent of the dog food ads here lead with a discount.

4. 4

   Let the algorithm find the buyers

   Broad targeting with strong creative beats narrow interest lists for most product brands now. Feed Meta your catalog and purchase events, and spend your time on new creative rather than new audiences.

5. 5

   Keep the winners running and replace the rest

   The median dog food ad here stayed up 46 days. Give a new ad a week of spend before you judge it, then retire what is not getting results and write the next version of what is. The advertisers with the most live ads are the ones testing the most.
