A new report by Nanigans, an ad platform based on optimization for ROI, states that retail advertisers who have campaigns on Facebook have experienced a 152% ROI in 2013, on average. This is almost a 4-time increase from figures just a year ago. The report findings are based on 200 billion Facebook ads.
