So just last month I talked about Facebook 20% text rule and how to stay within the parameters of Facebook's parameters. But, it has changed again. You are not limited to the 20% text rule anymore. Facebook, we presume listened to all the grousing and is phasing the rule out. You can have as little or as much as you desire, but there is a caveat.
Your ads are now graded into low, medium or high text and you are charged accordingly. Facebook Help Center has more details on the rule changes.
The bottom line is - test your ads and see which ones convert the best. Facebook is a very social platform and people react to visual stimulation rather than the text on the images. There is no hard and fast rule as any experienced marketer will tell you. Testing is the only way to determine what YOUR customer likes and responds to.
I have done some research and nothing is mentioned on Facebook yet or on the Net, but the Queen of Facebook, Mari Smith did mention in one of her chats on Facebook.
Check out the 4 Important Facebook Changes by Mari Smith & Saikat Mati.
The Marketing Specialist blog nails it on the head, because it probably is all about money. But then, we are all in business to make money and why not Facebook as well.

How to Use AI for Customer Segmentation: Identifying Your High-Value Shoppers Without a Data Science Degree
By Veronica Jeans, Bestselling Author June 20, 2025
Not all customers are created equal.
That's not controversial—you already know that some shoppers spend more, shop more frequently, or influence more people than others. The challenge has always been identifying exactly who these valuable customers are and understanding what makes them different.
Traditional customer segmentation (grouping by age, location, or basic purchase history) only tells part of the story. It's like trying to understand a person by knowing only their height and shoe size.
AI-powered segmentation, on the other hand, can analyze hundreds of behavior patterns and purchasing signals to identify your most valuable customer groups with remarkable precision—without requiring you to become a data scientist.
According to McKinsey & Company, businesses that excel at personalization generate 40% more revenue from targeted activities. The foundation of this personalization? Sophisticated customer segmentation.
In this guide, I'll walk you through how e-commerce store owners can leverage AI for customer segmentation in practical, actionable ways—even if terms like "neural networks" and "regression analysis" make your eyes glaze over.

From Shopify to Social: Creating a Seamless Multi-Channel Experience Without Losing Your Mind
By Veronica Jeans, Bestselling Author June 13, 2025
Remember when having a beautiful Shopify store was enough? Those simple days are long gone.
Today's customers don't think in channels—they seamlessly flow between your Instagram shop, TikTok videos, Facebook marketplace, and Shopify store, expecting a consistent experience at every touchpoint.
According to Harvard Business Review, customers who engage with brands across multiple channels spend 4% more on every shopping occasion in-store and 10% more online than single-channel customers. Even more compelling, with each additional channel they use, their spending increases.
But here's the challenge: while customers experience your brand holistically, you're often managing these channels through disconnected tools, platforms, and strategies—leading to inconsistency, duplicate work, and quite frankly, entrepreneur burnout.
In this guide, I'll walk you through how to create a truly connected multi-channel experience that feels seamless to your customers without requiring you to work 80-hour weeks or hire a team of specialists. This is about working smarter, not harder, across all your sales and marketing channels.

Beyond Chatbots: 5 Practical AI Tools Every E-commerce Store Owner Should Be Using in 2025
By Veronica Jeans, Bestselling Author June 09, 2025
When most e-commerce store owners think about AI, they immediately picture chatbots answering customer questions. And yes, those are useful (when implemented well).
But here's the truth: focusing only on chatbots is like buying a smartphone just to make phone calls.
The real power of AI for your e-commerce business lies in the less flashy, behind-the-scenes applications that can dramatically improve your operations, marketing, and bottom line.
According to a recent McKinsey report, businesses that fully embrace AI tools are seeing revenue increases of 3-15% and cost reductions of 10-25%. Yet many store owners aren't tapping into this potential because they don't know where to start beyond the chatbot.
In this post, I'll walk you through five practical, high-impact AI tools that go far beyond customer service automation. These are the tools that my most successful clients are already implementing to create significant competitive advantages in their stores.
