RETAIN YOUR CUSTOMER THE EASIER WAY USING AI

SHOULD YOU REMOVE EXCLUSION LISTS? (REAL TEST RESULTS)

Removing exclusion lists from Google Ads campaigns led to worse performance in a 2.5-month test. It showed lower conversions, higher CPAs, and reduced efficiency. The experiment found that 3 of 4 campaigns performed worse after all exclusions were removed. The results show that well-applied exclusions still help Smart Bidding by focusing on high-intent traffic. However, outdated or overly aggressive exclusions can hurt performance, so advertisers should reassess older lists and test before making changes.

CRISIS OR COMEDY: WHEN SHOULD BRANDS LAUGH IT OFF?

Brands need to know when to use humor and when to stay serious. Humor can turn a scandal into an advantage, as shown by Astronomer's ad with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jet2's embrace of TikTok memes. However, it can also fail, like e.l.f.'s campaign with Matt Rife, which clashed with audience values. The key is to match tone with brand identity, respond quickly, and read the room. Well-timed humor can defuse tension, but misjudged jokes damage trust. The best responses show awareness, not spin.
