Despite Meta's best attempt to provide ZERO customer service and to continue stripping away affinity targeting segments, its simply a platform you have to advertise on to reach and convert customers if you are a DTC brand.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The amount of ad formats and retargeting campaign performance.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Meta provides zero customer service. It's incredibly frustrating.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Put in the time necessary to develop compelling creative and your audience targeting strategy on FB/IG.

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing

Cons

  • Less Effective Service
  • Less Fair
  • Vendor's Interest First
