Mainly low budget when you're competing high stakes with people spending 100x in budget size and this is especially for FB ads

Oh crap, you meant offline ads. Well that's entirely a different ballgame since most people interact online mostly except for the super bowl and billboards it's hard to get proper traction offline.

Most offline campaigns fail due to unclear targeting, weak messaging, poor timing, no tracking, and spending big without testing first.

From what I’ve seen, the biggest mistake is unclear targeting. A lot of offline campaigns talk to everyone and end up connecting with no one. Poor tracking is another killer, so teams never know what worked. Messaging that doesn’t match the audience or location also burns budget fast. And many people quit too early before the campaign has time to compound.

Offline is undoubtedly more difficult these days. Have you seen any offline campaigns that were successful outside of major events?
