Anyone who has ever run a Facebook Ad and even those who haven’t, knows that the introduction of iOS14 rocked the digital advertising world when it limited Facebook’s access to third-party data of its users. One of Facebook’s most powerful tools, lookalike audiences took the biggest hit and while it wasn’t the death of FB advertising altogether, it did mean that we had to revert back to an old school way of targeting… actually knowing our audiences and using Facebook first-party data about them to create audiences.

Anyone who has ever run a Facebook Ad and even those who haven’t, knows that the introduction of iOS14 rocked the digital advertising world when it limited Facebook’s access to third-party data of its users. One of Facebook’s most powerful tools, lookalike audiences took the biggest hit and while it wasn’t the death of FB advertising altogether, it did mean that we had to revert back to an old school way of targeting… actually knowing our audiences and using Facebook first-party data about them to create audiences.
In the wake of this change, one of the first things I recommended that you do was to collect more of your own first-party data, mostly through your email platform so that you could learn more about what matters to them and figure out what audience interests to target. You can also collect zero-party data, this is like first-party data but it’s more active on the side of your audience. Listen to episode 107 for more details on that.
And that’s still my #1 recommendation for all eCommerce businesses and something you should never stop doing.
But Shopify wants to help too… and they’ve got a little trick up their sleeve called Shopify audiences.
