BUT we felt it was important enough info that EVERYONE needs to see it.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes are coming for advertisers on Facebook.
Chrissie here to give you all I know - at least right now.
And while I don't anticipate this to rock the boat as hard as iOS14 - there will be some significant impact.
Change is the only constant in advertising. Unfortunately.
..can you feel my excitement?
Facebook has announced a new feature that will impact retargeting for folks living in California, Colorado, and Connecticut starting June 1st, 2023.
It's called Limited Data Use, and it's here to make sure we're all playing by the rules.
Well - it's really here to make sure Big Daddy Zuck is playing by the rules so FB doesn't have to make another 725mil settlement for selling (and abusing) user data.
If you're using US based audiences - this new policy will impact you.
Limited Data Use will limit the amount of data that advertisers can use to retarget users from these states, which could impact your ability to generate conversions and potentially ROI.
Makes sense, right? A policy named Limited Data Use will limit the amount of data you can use - mind.blown. 🤯
And yes - that means that lookalike audiences will likely be impacted by the pixel not including residents from these states in the offsite, pixel traffic.
How do you get compliant with the new policy?
Unfortunately - there's no easy button to slap this time. It's going to take a bit of manual work and changing the pixel base code. We have to update the pixel initialization code to specify the dataProcessingOptions method before we call fbq('init').
.. that probably sounds like a bunch of nonsense - especially if code and tech isn't your jam. But I promise it's fairly simple.
Right now, there are three main options for enabling LDU:
1. Explicitly DO NOT enable LDU (this is a risky option)
2. Enable LDU and have Meta perform the geolocation FOR you (this is my preferred option at this point)
3. Enable LDU and specify the locations (ex - ONLY California, Colorado, and Connecticut)
My issue with #3 - as more states follow with their own data privacy laws, you'd have to manually update the base code every time a new state adapts privacy laws.
Keep in mind - I AM NOT A LAWYER and this is NOT LEGAL ADVICE.
But it is important to take the steps to comply with state privacy laws and protect user data.
And as advertisers, the only option we have is to manually instal the necessary code into the pixels to ensure compliance. This way we can continue to advertise while upholding best practices for data privacy.
Could you probably get away with doing nothing? Sure.
I don't think it's a risk worth taking though.
By staying informed and taking proactive steps to comply, you can continue to reach and engage with your audiences effectively.
Impacts to Ad Strategy
With the big impact to retargeting, I anticipate that we'll have to get creative.
A large portion of the strategy I've used with clients draws on building ON PLATFORM audiences and retargeting those (either by videos watched or how long they've been engaged with the brand).
Those strategies will still be effective.
Where we'll have to get creative will be the campaigns that target sales page visitors who didn't buy or retargeting readers of a specific blog post with a micro offer or lead magnet.
I don't know the answers yet - but these are the things I'm going to start testing with our 1:1 client accounts (and our own ads) before June so that when the time does come, the impact won't hit so hard.
Right now - the best thing we can do is make the changes to our pixel code everywhere we have the pixel installed. And Rebellion peeps, don't worry - I'm planning a special implementation call in May to walk everyone through changing the pixel code.
We can do it together 💪🏻
So let's put on our compliance hats and embrace this new challenge head on.
With a little bit of elbow grease and a whole lot of creative determination, we can continue to reach our target audiences AND see great ROI.
After all, who said advertising was easy?
I know I didn't 😅
Keep calm and pixel on,
Chrissie

It takes a special kind of person to love Google Analytics and Looker Studio (or any of the other complex data-tracking tools out there).
Can more complex tools give you 'better' insights into customer behavior and help you optimize your campaigns and maximize ROI faster? 🤷🏼♀️ Maybe.
But IF those tools overwhelm you, will you actually use them or ever look at your data? 👀
Sometimes a simple good ol’ Google spreadsheet is more than enough. 📊
Don't overcomplicate it.
There are misconceptions about ChatGPT - this idea that you have to have a perfect prompt to get a perfect output. And that's just not true.
