150. The Meta Ads 'Funnel Feeder' strategy and when to use it

Season #4

Meta Ads are more competitive than ever, and for many e-commerce brands, top-of-funnel purchase campaigns are not converting as easily or as quickly as they once did.

This is especially true if you sell higher-ticket products, considered purchases, or non-essential items, where customers may need more time before they are ready to buy.

In this episode, I’m breaking down a Meta Ads strategy I’ve been testing inside my mastermind called a funnel feeder campaign. It’s a low-cost, top-of-funnel campaign designed to introduce new people to your brand, build engagement and create a warmer audience before asking for the sale.

This is not a replacement for your purchase campaigns. It sits above them, helping feed your funnel with new prospects, stronger engagement signals and more social proof.

In this episode, I cover:

  • What a funnel feeder campaign is and where it sits in your Meta Ads strategy

  • Why top-of-funnel purchase campaigns can be harder to convert right now

  • How to use engagement or video view campaigns to bring new people into your world

  • Why exclusions matter if you’re trying to reach genuinely new audiences

  • How this strategy can help build social proof on your existing ad posts

  • When to test a funnel feeder campaign, especially if your account is new, low volume or struggling with top of funnel sales

  • When not to bother with this strategy and where to put your budget instead

  • The key metric I’d add to your Ads Manager dashboard when testing this campaign

If your ads are feeling a little flat, this is a practical strategy worth testing. It gives Meta more signals, helps grow your warm audiences and can support the purchase campaigns already running in your account.
