Bamboo's Approach

Bamboo, with Meta's team, ran A/B tests comparing product tag impacts, gaining insights for future testing

Bamboo simultaneously ran product tag and non-product tag split tests through the Meta A/B testing tool to compare insights. This allowed them to better understand performance and the next steps if a similar test were to be run again. 

*Bamboo ran this test in partnership with the Meta marketing science team to ensure a statistically significant result.

What are Product Tags?

Product Tags allow shoppers to seamlessly shop Highlights’ products right on their Facebook feed, moving easily from discovery to final purchase without having to leave the platform. Some of the key benefits of ads with Meta product tags are driving traffic, post engagement, and maximizing the reach of a brand’s shoppable products right on the platform. Shopping ads with product tags can also help businesses grow their pool of shopping Custom Audiences who can be re-engaged with through retargeting ads later on.

Bamboo’s partnership with our own in-house creative team has helped to produce engaging creative assets fit for the social space. The partnership has been like an extension of our own team and we're all moving toward the same goal: do great things.
