Growth Meetup is an event held almost every Wednesday where guests and participants come together to learn the know-how for continuously growing their businesses on Shopify.

On November 20, we welcomed Mr. Tanaka, Representative Director of Yuwai Co., Ltd., as our guest speaker. He delivered a presentation on key things to watch out for and best practices when running Meta ad campaigns.

Attendee Feedback

The post-event survey received many positive responses. In particular, attendees appreciated the concrete, hands-on information directly applicable to their work, such as Ads Manager settings and supplemental feed configurations.

Among the feedback, someone who had recently started learning Meta Ads and Shopify shared: "I was able to systematically learn the key points I need to know, so I feel like I can put this into practice right away." — a response that truly made the effort worthwhile.

Overall, the event went beyond conceptual explanations and focused on practical, actionable content, giving participants concrete ideas and hints they could immediately apply to their own work.
