• Ad fatigue means that your target audience members have seen your Facebook ads for so many consecutive times that they’ve grown tired of them.

• People stop noticing your Facebook ads in their newsfeed – they’ve grown immune to them. People stop clicking on your Facebook ads – all the interested audience members have already acted upon your ads. Your ad campaign’s costs skyrocket – you’ll be spending large sums without acquiring any more new customers.

• Beating Facebook Ad Fatigue

• Keeping the Facebook Ad Frequency Under Control

• The easiest way to predict the ad fatigue is to check your Facebook ad frequency. Facebook ad frequency is a campaign metric showing how many times target audience members have seen your ad.

• go to the Facebook Ads Manager, click on a campaign, and in the “columns” section select the Delivery view.

• The best practice is to aim for your Facebook ad frequency to stay under 2-3 points. However, when targeting a narrow Facebook audience or working with remarketing campaigns, you can also let your ad frequency go higher.

• Measure and use the ad frequency as an indicator of ad fatigue. But also keep your eye on the overall campaign results to notice when it’s really the right time to pause or optimize your campaigns.

• If you have a high frequency, but your campaign is still actively converting and at a reasonable cost, you can let the campaign continue running until you see the CPA begin to rise.

• smarter ad bidding that helps to increase your Facebook advertising ROI.
