Case study #1
Beauty offer in LATAM with Facebook and a $35k net profit
Beauty offer in LATAM with Facebook and a $35k net profit
Offer: Rechiol in Latin America
Geo: Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Guatemala, and Chile
Period: 2022 (from 01/01/2022 to 31/12/2022)
Landing: Below in the text
Prelanding: None
Traffic source: Facebook ads
Revenue: $54,636
Spend: $18,759.57
Profit: $35,876.43
ROI: 191%
For a long time, this offer has been among regional Top offers. Also, the manager for Latin America, Maria, approved the selected product as the most suitable. Moreover, the ads with the product were rarely seen on Facebook. Those three factors helped our affiliate made up his mind about the offer.
*AdCombo tips: if you use spy tools, don’t launch campaigns with popular offers. Try to find something non-mainstream!
Generation of creatives was the first step to the campaign launch. The affiliate found a freelancer on the Fiverr platform who made a promo video for the product for $25. Also, he hired a designer to create images. Looking ahead, we can say that $25 has been a great investment!
The author of the case study notes it is important to delegate tasks, but it leads to extra costs. If you want to save money, Canva is a great service for creating and editing images (we suggest you consider it if you haven’t tested it yet).
Let’s move on to the campaign launch. Our partner didn’t specify the interests of the target audience, thus, didn’t cut the number of potential leads. The target audience wasn’t segmented by age, interests, and gender.
And the objective of the campaign was “Leads” :
Our affiliate admits that he still gets thousands of conversions per week by following this strategy.
A limit of $10 per day was set to optimize the campaign. He also used Ad set Budget Optimization – ABO, for groups of ads. This optimization divides the budget equally among all the ads, which allows us to see which ad is converting better and determine which ad is more suitable for scaling.
Then, our partner chose the following strategy: he turned off ads that had a very high CPA i.e. over $3, and once he got 50 conversions, he increased the CPA every 3 days by 20% – 50%.
The most successful creatives:

*AdCombo comment: For this campaign, our affiliate used a landing page he made himself. His approach is completely clear: no pop stars, people in white robes, etc. It looks more like the product page of a classic facial care product.
It’s okay with the optimization, but how did he scale up the campaign?
The author created other campaigns with minor changes in the creatives. For example, he changed their background colors. While the video remained the same. By the way, the images brought the best results. However, he recommends using video in advertising campaigns for better performance.
Spend:
*AdCombo comment: note that the spend of this ad account is over $18,000. That’s the result of a white hat approach.
Conclusion: If you want to launch a long-lasting campaign, use white hat approach
And it’s time for us to move on to the second case study!
Case study #2:
The Beauty Offer in Mexico via Facebook and a profit of $4.6k+
The Beauty Offer in Mexico via Facebook and a profit of $4.6k+
Offer: 28527 Rechiol – MX (the offer is in stop now, to find a suitable analogue, contact your manager)
GEO: Mexico
Period: 01/08/2022 until 16/11/2022
Landing: Below the text
Prelanding: None
Traffic source: Facebook ads
Revenue: $9117.50
Spend: $4431.34
Profit: $4686.16
ROI: 106%
Just like in the previous case study, it all started with the choice of an offer. The author also found the offer among Top offers and additionally he leaned on his positive experience with the Beauty and Health offers.
In the case study, the affiliate segmented the target audience when setting up the campaign. The key points were: females aged from 30 to 65 years old with interests in beauty, cosmetics, and skincare.
A daily spend limit was $15.
The campaigns were optimized with a Facebook pixel. Our affiliate used the Purchase event to identify the audience that had already purchased the product and, thus, exclude them from the campaign’s target, achieving a better level of optimization and showing the product to new customers.
Five creatives in total were tested considering FB’s policy to avoid bans (and the white hat approach was used again). Here are the pics with the best results:
The campaign was optimized by the following objectives: exclusion of those who had already bought the product, a $30-daily budget limit , and use of the creatives with the best performance.
Screenshot of the landing page used:
*AdCombo comment: we also advise you to take a closer look at this page. Our affiliate created it neutral, without clickbait statements and semi black hat approaches. Everything is nice and trustworthy.
Statistics:
And we’re so close to the third case study, which has a different source of traffic.
Case study #3
Rejuvenating serum on push traffic in Chile and ROI 202%
Rejuvenating serum on push traffic in Chile and ROI 202%
Offer: 9218 Inno Gialuron – CL (the offer is in stop now, to find a suitable analogue, contact your manager)
GEO: Chile
Period: 04/02/2022 – 08/07/2022
Traffic source: Zeropark (push traffic network)
Revenue: $1910.50
Spend: $632
Profit: $1278.5
ROI: 202%
What’s interesting this time?
The offer was picked from the Top offers, just like in the previous two cases. Affiliate chose it as skin care products are in high demand in Chile.
And to make sure the landing page was the right choice, he checked out its adaptability to mobile phones (which is really important nowadays):
In addition, our responsible partner altered some words on the landing page, translating them to the local dialect for better perception by residents. He also added a section describing the ingredients and how to use the product.
After setting up the postback and API, everything was ready to start. The budget limit was $4 per day and 2 creatives were selected:
How about the optimization?
One of the benefits that ZEROPARK provides is that the campaign can be easily optimized. One can apply rules that will automatically pause the sources not giving conversions and increase the budget in sources with a good CR. This automates the optimization process and improves campaign performance.
The affiliate found out that simple creatives brought better results. So the highest CTR was here:
Here are the screenshots of the campaign statistics:
After almost 6 months of being active, the campaign generated 46274 clicks, which converted to 296 leads that turned into 90 sales.
The commission per sale was $21.50. The campaign brought revenue of $1910.50. The spend was $632, and the profit was $1278.50 with an ROI of 202%. It was a very profitable campaign.
It is a big mistake to stop the campaign at this point. Affiliates need to be patient and let their campaigns gradually improve. Over time, the revenues will exceed the spend! You’ll see it!
Conclusion
To sum up three case studies:
Clear and white hat approach can give great results!
The author of the case study, who got more than $35k in profit with1-year-old campaign, had only two FB ad accounts. And the second affiliate avoided bans by having a fine creative-designing strategy.
That’s how consistent work, a delegation of tasks, and different approaches to optimization along with scaling up can bring results for several months or even a whole year without any tricks!
Wish you more converting ad strategies!
