Meta's AI-powered campaign type designed specifically for ecommerce.

Why It Matters

Advantage+ Shopping simplifies Meta advertising by automating targeting, placements, and creative optimization. It combines prospecting and retargeting in one campaign, using Meta's AI to find buyers across the entire Meta ecosystem. For many D2C brands, ASC has become the top-performing campaign type.

Practical Example

Scenario

A fashion brand consolidates 10 campaigns (various audiences, placements) into a single ASC with $5,000/day budget.

Result

ASC outperforms the previous structure by 25% ROAS. The algorithm finds buyers the brand would never have targeted manually.

Pro Tips

  • 1Start ASC with at least $3K/day budget—it needs scale to optimize across all the automation
  • 2Let ASC run for 7-14 days before judging—it needs time to learn your conversion patterns
  • 3Use the 'existing customer budget cap' to control how much goes to retargeting vs prospecting

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Running ASC with insufficient budget—it's designed for scale and struggles with small spend
Not setting existing customer caps, leading to ASC spending heavily on easy retargeting wins
