Ad frequency refers to the number of times a person sees your ad. This is a data metric that you should keep your eye on because you want to make sure that people aren’t seeing your ad so much that it’s creating ad fatigue.
Facebook ads perform the best when the ad frequency is between 3 and 5 times. So, when someone has seen the ad between 3 and 5 times, it is considered optimal. If a person hasn’t seen the ad at least three times, then they haven’t really seen it enough to take effect (and if they have seen it more than five times, then it is losing its effect and you are also wasting ad money). You can check that you are not exceeding this threshold in the ‘ad frequency’ column of Facebook’s ad manager.
After you have hit the 5 times frequency, there are certain things that you can do. This is when you need to get creative and change up your ad a bit. The change doesn’t have to be huge – you can decide on a simple colour change. The ad basically has to be refreshed because people are becoming blind to it. An ad on Facebook typically hits the 3 – 5 threshold between two to four weeks, so you need to plan how you are going to update your ad. Video ads have a longer shelf life than image ads, so if you are creating videos then you can rest assured that they won’t have to be updated as often as your image ads.

If you’re not incorporating a chatbot into your website design, then you are already behind. The age of robots is now and the more people interact with them, the more they will realise the value of humanless interaction.
What exactly is a ‘bot’?
A bot is a computer program that automatically automates certain tasks, typically by chatting with a human through an interface. Bots plug into messaging and networking apps, and can play into larger strategies of tracking trends and consumer behaviour.
People shop and buy in a world of immediacy. Messaging is how they communicate. Having an app simply doesn’t cut it anymore because half of smartphone users download a whopping 0 apps per month.
Chatbots don’t require app downloads and people don’t have to pick up their phone to talk to an ill-informed service rep. By chatting in a familiar conversational interface, bots know they need to solve a problem and do nothing more or nothing less.
When chatbots are linked with a CRM, they get even smarter by leveraging past conversations to personalise their responses to a person’s unique situation and preferences. At a time where app usage and email efficacy are decreasing, chatbots offer businesses the opportunity to have one-to-one conversations at scale and customers a better way to interact with brands.

Doesn’t it seem like Christmas and Black Friday is so far off? Luckily, digital marketers and business owners can take advantage of “Christmas in July”, which is a mid-year shopping frenzy that consumers are expecting.
Whether you run an ecommerce website or you are selling a service, you need to make sure that your company is just as ready for Christmas in July this year:
Know who’s buying
South Africa’s ecommerce market is advanced and people are increasingly shopping online. Know who your customers are and how they will be searching for the products and services you have to offer. Make sure your website is responsive and mobile friendly so that people who are looking for Christmas in July sales can easily browse your website from any device they are using.
Plan your content marketing
How are people going to know what type of sales you are offering if you’re not writing and talking about it? Create a “Christmas in July” tab on your website listing all the products that will be on sale during July. Create blog posts, video clips, social media marketing posts and Instagram pictures of your sale so that you can make sure your message travels as far as possible.
Doublecheck your inventory and distribution channels
You need to prepare your business for the influx of orders and shipments. Make sure you have enough stock for all of the products that will be on promotion and make sure you are able to deliver the products to your customers within a short period of time.
