    Understanding the Data

    Insights & analysis of Facebook advertising costs

    Facebook advertising costs vary based on many factors including industry, target audience, ad placement, and campaign objectives. Different industries see varying ad costs due to market competition, user demographics, and conversion value. For campaigns targeting Singapore, advertisers should consider local market factors and user behavior. Traffic campaigns typically focus on driving visitors to your website at a generally lower cost per click, but with less focus on quality. The data shown represents median values across multiple campaigns, and individual results may vary based on ad quality, audience targeting, and campaign optimization.

    Why we use median instead of average

    We use the median CTR because the underlying distribution of click-through rates is highly skewed, with a small share of campaigns achieving extremely high CTRs. These outliers can inflate a simple average, making it less representative of what most advertisers actually experience. By using the median—which sits at the midpoint of all campaigns—we provide a more rigorous and realistic benchmark that reflects the true underlying data model and helps you set attainable performance expectations.

    Key Factors Affecting Facebook Ad Costs

    • Competition within your selected industry and audience demographics
    • Ad quality and relevance score – higher quality ads can lower costs
    • Campaign objective and bid strategy
    • Timing and seasonality – costs often increase during holiday periods
    • Ad placement (News Feed, Instagram, Audience Network, etc.)

    Note: This data represents industry median values and benchmarks. Your actual costs may vary based on specific targeting, ad creative quality, and campaign optimization.

    Potential Advertising Impact

    CPM and CPC might rise during Chinese New Year and Deepavali for gifting, food, and apparel categories. Good Friday, Hari Raya, and Vesak Day long weekends could shift consumer behavior and spike media consumption. National Day promotions might elevate ad costs in entertainment and tourism. Singapore's small, affluent market means events can have noticeable retail impact.

    What's a healthy cost per purchase for ecommerce brands?

    It depends on your product price and margins. Most brands aim for $10 to $50. For higher-ticket products, a higher CPA may be acceptable as long as you're maintaining a strong return on ad spend.

    How does product price impact CPA benchmarks?

    Higher-priced products typically have a higher CPA because people take longer to convert. That's not necessarily a problem if your margin can support it. You should measure CPA in context with AOV and LTV.

    Why are my purchase costs going up despite stable ROAS?

    Your AOV may be increasing, which helps maintain ROAS even if CPA rises. You could also be facing higher CPMs, lower conversion rates, or creative fatigue.

    Should I use manual bidding to control CPA more effectively?

    Manual bidding can help if you're struggling to stay within target CPA. It's best used by experienced advertisers who can monitor performance and adjust regularly. It gives more control, but also requires more effort.
