When Meta Ads Stop Bringing In Sales, It’s Usually One Of These Four Things
Your Facebook and Instagram ads used to bring in sales.
Now you're spending the same amount of money on ads, and you're getting less back.
We hear this on our sales calls every week, and it almost always comes down to one of these four things.
1
The same few ads have been running for months
AAds ManagerBreakdown: by month
CampaignsAd setsAds
Video ad 1Running since March
| Month | Amount spent | Purchases | Cost per purchase |
|---|---|---|---|
| March | R9,000 | 100 | R90 |
| May | R9,000 | 60 | R150 |
| July | R9,000 | 36 | R250 |
Same ad. R90 a sale in March, R250 in July
Drawn for this page. Example numbers.
The same people have seen that ad too many times, and that's why each sale costs you more.
What we do about it
We make the static ads and the video ads for you.
We watch what each ad costs you for a sale, and when an ad stops performing, we make a new one.
2
You spent more money on ads, and you got fewer sales
AAds ManagerBreakdown: by week
CampaignsAd setsAds
| Week | Daily budget | Amount spent | Purchases | Cost per purchase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 7 Sept | R500 | R3,500 | 70 | R50 |
| 8 to 14 Sept | R1,000 | R7,000 | 56 | R125 |
Double the budget, 14 fewer sales
Drawn for this page. Example numbers.
There's only so much money that you can spend on one ad in a day, before each sale starts costing you more.
What we do about it
We first get more ads to make sales, and then we increase the budget.

What we do about it
You get your own dedicated advertising strategist.
They check how much profit every rand that you spend on ads actually brings back.
You hear from them once a week, and the ad account stays yours.

Sometimes the ad is actually working, and people leave on the website before they pay.
What we do about it
We look at the ad and the page that it sends people to.
If people are leaving on the page, we build you a funnel, which is essentially a page that's made to turn the click into a sale.
Most Digital Marketing Agencies Show You Likes And Clicks, But We Judge Every Ad On The Profit It Makes
You're spending money on ads, but your profit isn't growing.
Your agency sends a report full of likes and clicks.
But it never shows you how much profit your ads made.
That's why we judge every rand you spend on ads by how much profit it brings back.
The three main numbers we measure

If Your Ad Results Don’t Improve In 90 Days, We’ll Work For Free Until They Do
Most agencies get paid every month, whether your ads make you money or not.
So you carry all the risk.
We share it with you.
Here's our promise:
Our 90-day promise
If your ROAS doesn't go up, or your cost per lead or sale doesn't come down, within 90 days, we'll work for free until they do.
ROAS is the sales you get back for every R1 you spend on ads.
We use it here because every business can measure it from day one.
- You need to have spent at least R30,000 on ads in the last 3 months, so we have real numbers to compare against.
- We compare normal months.Specials, discounts and Black Friday deals are left out.
- Working for free means we don't charge our monthly fee.You still spend your own money on the ads.
Only 1 in 10
businesses that contact us get taken on
If we don't get you results, you're obviously not going to continue paying our fees.
That said, we only work with brands whose products are actually good, whose margins are healthy, and with business owners who are ready and hungry to grow.
If we don't think we can help, we'll tell you honestly on the free call.

My V8 Media journey is almost one year old and it’s been one amazing high, from the very first call, onboarding and then starting to work with my team, Marilly, Thomas and Daine. They have taken the time to get to know the business and us. They’re on the ball with ideas, suggestions and every call with them is one I look forward to. There are no empty promises, campaigns are planned and launched without hick-ups and they constantly monitor and tweak for changes. Much more than I ever expected them to do! They looked after our accounts over the holidays and there was always someone available to handle anything that might pop-up. If you’re hunting for an agency that puts in the work and that will help grow your business then don’t look any further. They’re a true extension of your business and takes away a lot of the stresses and tasks that gets you back to focussing on your customers. You’re in great hands!
We Run Your Facebook And Instagram Ads, And We Make The Static Ads And Video Ads For You
An ad on Meta doesn't keep performing forever.
Most business owners don't have the time to make a new one when it stops.
So we make them for you, and we run the ads as well.
Here's what you get:
Facebook & Instagram adsShown to the people most likely to buy
Ad creativesThe static ads, video ads and words that we make for you
UGC videosReal people on camera using your product, made to run as ads
FunnelsPages that turn the click into a sale or a lead
EmailsBring customers back to buy again
Lead nurturing automationsAutomatic messages that follow up every lead, so none go cold
Each one helps on its own.
But the results come from how they work together: the ad brings the click, the funnel turns it into a sale or a lead, and the emails and follow-ups bring them back.
You get your own dedicated advertising strategist, backed by a team of 40 across South Africa, with our head office in Johannesburg.
We work with online stores and local businesses in South Africa and around the world.

V8 is by far the most professional digital marketing company I have ever worked with. They take the time to understand your target market and understands their needs. They take full control of your digital media needs so you don’t have to worry about that and they have increased our ROI drastically. I firmly believe they are the best digital marketing company in South Africa! I would highly recommend them.
I Ran My First Business Into The Ground Before I Learned How To Grow One
I started my first business, Fitness 101, when I was 22.
In 2013 I sold part of it, and then I ran the rest into the ground.
I went on to grow CHROME Supplements from R30 million to R100 million as their marketing director.
In 2018 I started V8 Media, and I know what it feels like to put everything into a business and not know if it will work.
Every business owner who fills in our form is in that same spot, and we never forget it.

Someone already runs my Meta ads. Can you have a look at them first?
Yes.
If you're spending over R20,000 a month on Meta ads, we'll do a free audit of your ad account.
We'll show you what's working, what isn't working, and what we would change.
My business partner has to agree too. What can I show them?
After the free call, we do a demonstration call with you.
On that call we show you what we would implement to grow your business.
Bring your partner onto that call, so that they can see it and ask their own questions.
Do I own my ad account?
Yes.
The ad account is yours, and it stays yours if you ever stop working with us.
How often will I hear from you?
Once a week.
Your strategist tells you what we changed, what it did, and what we're going to try next.
Who do you work with?
Online stores and local businesses that already have customers buying from them, and make enough profit on each sale to spend money on ads.
If we don't think we can help, we'll tell you honestly on the free call, and we won't take your money.
How much does it cost?
Our fee starts at R10,990 a month, plus the money you spend on ads.
We'll tell you your exact fee on the free call, before you commit to anything.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No.
You sign a 90-day agreement, because it takes time to test your ads and improve them.
After 90 days, you can cancel any time.
How fast can my ads go live?
About two weeks after you say yes, so your ads can run the same month.
Do you guarantee results?
Yes, with conditions.
If your ROAS doesn't go up, or your cost per lead or sale doesn't come down, within 90 days, we'll work for free until they do, which means we don't charge our monthly fee.
You need to have spent at least R30,000 on ads in the last 3 months, and specials, discounts and Black Friday deals are left out of the comparison.
You still spend your own money on the ads.
Who will work on my account?
Your own dedicated advertising strategist, backed by a team of 40 across South Africa.
Our head office is in Johannesburg.
Do you work with businesses outside South Africa?
Yes.
We take on clients worldwide.
What don't you do?
Logos, branding and daily social media posts.
We focus on the ads, videos, funnels, emails and follow-ups that bring in sales and leads.

I can't thank Jandre and his team at V8 enough!!! The team have single handedly transformed our business at Kuraflo, fantastic results with social media implementation and execution. Gilbert & Malissa have patiently guided and educated us, devoting huge amounts of time and effort to our cause, taking time to understand our product, pain points and audience with great results. We are very grateful.
