How using Facebook’s native purchase event impact donor conversion
Experiment ID: #11114
Focus on the Family
Experiment Summary
Timeframe: 03/25/2019 - 04/15/2019
Focus on the Family offers people a free video series on the topic of conflict in their marriage. This content offer is promoted through paid Facebook ads. Historically, we have optimized these campaigns based on a custom conversion we’ve set up that triggers if a person signs up for the particular content offer. This method has worked well to grow email files through paid media, but in recent months we’ve been testing a different kind of conversion goal within Facebook (a native purchase event) to see if we can not only acquire new names for the organization, but acquire new donors more effectively. The purchase conversion in Facebook optimizes the campaign for purchases/donors instead of new names. Would we be able to increase donor conversion just by the kind of conversion event used within our Facebook campaign?
Research Question
How would the kind of conversion event used in paid Facebook ads impact donor conversion?

Results
| Treatment Name | Conv. Rate | Relative Difference | Confidence | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C: | Conflict Series- Custom Conversion | 0.07% | ||
| T1: | Conflict Series- Purchase | 0.11% | 47.0% | 100.0% |
This experiment has a required sample size of 58,588 in order to be valid. Since the experiment had a total sample size of 416,810, and the level of confidence is above 95% the experiment results are valid.
Flux Metrics Affected
The Flux Metrics analyze the three primary metrics that affect revenue (traffic, conversion rate, and average gift). This experiment produced the following results:
0% increase in traffic
× 47.0% increase in conversion rate
× 0% increase in average gift
Key Learnings
The purchase conversion helped increased instant donor conversion by 47%! This is a significant learning and shift in the way we will set up future acquisition campaigns. The purchase conversion allowed Facebook to optimize the campaign based on people who were making a donation. When someone would make a donation, it would tell Facebook to go find more people like the donor that just gave and target them. Because the purchase conversion optimized for purchasers/donors, instead of names, we did see a slight increase in the cost to acquire a name, but the benefit of increasing donations and revenue far exceeds that metric.
