3 Consequences of Procrastinating Ad Campaigns.

  1. First, procrastination can result in poor planning of your campaigns. If you postpone the planning of your campaigns until the last minute, you are likely to be forced to make hasty decisions and use ineffective strategies. This can result in lower effectiveness of your campaigns and lower ROI.
  2. Second, procrastination can result in delayed execution of your campaigns. If you put off running your campaigns until the last minute, you are likely to be forced to launch your campaigns at inappropriate times, when your audience is not available to interact with your ads. This can result in lower visibility of your campaigns and lower reach to your audience.
  3. Third, procrastination can result in a lack of tracking and measurement of your campaigns. If you put off tracking and measuring your campaigns until the last minute, you are likely to be forced to make decisions based on incomplete or old data. This can result in lower effectiveness of your campaigns and lower ROI.

 

Before explaining how procrastination affects algorithms, let’s talk a little bit about them.

 

What is an algorithm, and how does it learn from us?

Algorithms will sort, find and analyze large amounts of data, so they can make predictions and decisions, such as which ad campaign to run next, or which one works best.

How do algorithms lose data and lower their performance when you procrastinate?

Social media algorithms are sophisticated tools used to display relevant content to users. These algorithms use a variety of data, such as user interaction, posting frequency and popularity of a post, to determine which content to show to which users. However, by procrastinating the planning and execution of social media advertising campaigns, the algorithms can miss important data and their performance can diminish.

We have compiled some examples represented in graphs to see how ads behave when we pause campaigns.

 

In conclusion, Procrastination is a common problem when planning and executing social media advertising campaigns. And yet, procrastination can have serious consequences for the success of your advertising campaigns. In order to avoid procrastination, it is important to establish a solid schedule for planning and executing your campaigns, as well as for tracking and measuring your results.
