If you manage to overlook this necessity of being persistently active on Facebook then it means you are fetching negligence from your audience.

Same ad, Same people, Seriously! But, Why?
Would you pitch the same product to the same client/customer over and over again if the latter has shown no interest in it or maybe bought it already? No! Then why would you want to show the same ad to the same audience who have seen it, reacted to it, some might have bounced back , some might have made the next move of purchasing. You need to make targets and work on achieving them. Keep yourself updated with the demands and mould your product, services according to the expectations or the needs of your target audience. Keep a check on audience behavior, what are they following most, their activities, time they show up online, age group, make ads gender specific, ad copies should be crisp and catchy, content should be something trending. Follow these points and get set to rage!
No more changes please
Changes, transitions, updates are absorbed by people sometimes quickly and the other times at a very slow pace. You set up an ad, what are the odds it is going to be a success or a total fail? Can you foresee? It could be a hit and become a revenue creation activity or maybe totally fail your expectations and dump your money. But to try and test it, you need patience. If you expect instant results then you are already fooling yourself. Leave it out open and see the progress simmer fantastic results slowly. Minimum time to see if it will perform should be not less than 48 hours. Even after that the result cannot be promised and on top of that if you are continuously editing, fiddling with it means you are just rushing it and pushing it into nothing.
