$0-$1.9m in 1 year with Shopify | My TikTok & Facebook Ads TESTING Strategy for 2023

Are you looking to achieve significant revenue growth with your Shopify store? In this article, I will share my TikTok and Facebook Ads testing strategy that helped me generate $1.9 million in revenue within one year. By following these steps, you can optimize your ad campaigns and potentially achieve similar results.

Introduction

I recently stumbled upon a store that achieved incredible success, generating nearly $2 million in revenue. The store's sales were sporadic and depended on the seasonality and trendiness of the products being sold. However, despite these fluctuations, the store managed to maintain a profit margin of 20$400,000 in profit. I will delve into the specifics of this store's success and how you can apply the same principles to your Shopify business.

The Successful Product

The key to this store's success lies in a particular product that is both suitable for the summer season and serves as a popular gift item. This combination proved crucial in driving sales. For example, when the store launched ads for this product in June, it generated $177,000 in sales, followed by$270,000 in July. As the summer season waned, sales declined, but the store revived the ads during the holiday season in November and December, resulting in a staggering $480,000 in sales in December alone.

The Power of Seasonality and Gifting

The store's success highlights the importance of understanding seasonal trends and the power of gifting during key shopping periods. By strategically running ads for this specific product during the summer months and again during the holiday season, the store managed to capture high-demand moments and generate substantial revenue.

Utilizing Facebook Ads Library and Shop Hunter

I discovered this successful store by browsing the Facebook Ads Library, which allows you to gain insights into the ads of other businesses. To gather further data and information, I used Shop Hunter, a powerful tool that provides real-time revenue analysis for Shopify stores. By using Shop Hunter, I was able to track the revenue generated by this store and monitor its performance, which ultimately reminded me of the potential of this product.

TikTok Ads Strategy

To replicate the success of this store, I will outline a TikTok Ads testing strategy. To begin, navigate to TikTok Ads Manager and create a new campaign. Choose the "Conversion" objective and select "Website Conversions." Keep the campaign budget optimization (CBO) off and set a daily budget of $50. This budget provides a moderate yet effective amount for testing purposes.

Next, create an ad group and name it "Ad 1." Specify the TikTok pixel and optimization event as "Complete Payment." Choose "Broad" targeting for interests and behaviors, as TikTok's interest options are limited. Leave the other settings unchanged, and proceed to select placements, ensuring only TikTok is enabled.

When scheduling your ads, set them for the next day at 12:00 AM, allowing you to capture complete daily data. For time targeting, run your ads from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, targeting the hours when most potential customers are likely to engage with your ads.

Create your ad with an engaging video and persuasive text. Incorporate a call-to-action button, such as "Shop Now," and include your website URL. Upload your ad video and submit it for review.

For further testing, duplicate the ad group and create additional ad groups labeled "Ad 2" and "Ad 3." In each ad group, upload a different video while maintaining consistent ad copy and messaging.

By running multiple ad groups, each with a unique video, you can maximize your chances of finding the winning ad that resonates most with your target audience. Once you identify the best-performing ad, you can begin scaling your campaigns.

Facebook Ads Strategy

Now let's explore the Facebook Ads testing strategy. In your Facebook Ads Manager, create a new campaign with the "Sales" objective. Name the campaign and leave the CBO off for testing purposes. Choose a daily budget of $10 and set the campaign to start the next day at 12:00 AM.

Select your target location, including countries like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, in addition to the United States. Adjust interests, age, and gender settings based on your product's target audience and the insights you gain from Facebook's suggestions.

To create your ad sets, duplicate the original ad set and remove the targeting detail. Click on the suggestions provided by Facebook and select the relevant interest. Modify the ad set name accordingly, and proceed to create your ad with an engaging video, persuasive text, and a call-to-action button that directs users to your website.

Duplicate this process for each interest you wish to target, creating ten ad sets in total. This broad-based testing approach allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of different interests and optimize your campaigns accordingly.

Summary of Strategies

In summary, the success of the highlighted store lies in leveraging seasonality and targeting gifting periods effectively. By utilizing TikTok and Facebook Ads, you can test multiple creatives or interests and identify the best-performing ads to scale your campaigns.
