Facebook Ads never seem to stop evolving you know and some people looked at it as the most powerful marketing strategy for their business.
and some actually think that it doesn’t work at all.
so you’re probably left wondering if Facebook Ads can really help your Business.
and if so what kinds of ads and strategies will be the most profitable for you this year.
now don’t worry because today I’m gonna cover a few really powerful Facebook ad strategies that’ll work for your business.
and I’ll be giving you fresh and easy-to-understand tips guaranteed to lead to your Facebook ad success in this year.
remember how Facebook used to just be a fun diversion and a convenient tool for keeping track of all your old friends.
and sending out invitations.
well now it’s become one of the best most powerful ways to market your products and services.
but of course some things just work much better than others.
so I want to share some of the most effective tactics strategies and tips that I personally know to be working on Facebook Ads.
Dynamic creative ads
And let’s start with the use of dynamic creative traditionally no one knows exactly how a Facebook ad will perform until you’ve tested it.
and that’s why it’s always been our best practice to create multiple ads in each ad set. which includes ad copy and images and you should also test video formats as well.
but Facebook has recently made it a lot easier for you by creating what’s called dynamic creative ads.
which basically allow you to upload multiple versions of images headlines and description text.
and it allows Facebook to plug all these in and find the most effective combination.
that they can then start putting out above all the others.
and this is really useful if you want to save some time and test a bunch of variations.
really easily and quickly the reporting can be easily understood because Facebook ad reporting will show you all results.
and because of this you can increase your performance save time and maximize your efforts.
I do want to caution you though.
What should I do if I have a low budget?
So if you don’t have a huge ad budget you don’t want to add too many variations into the mix.
Because each unique combination really needs about 500 impressions for Facebook to be able to test it properly.
So if your budgets on the lower side you probably want to test one element at a time.
Like headlines and use the same image on each or vice versa alright.
Facebook ads library
Next we’re gonna get a little sneaky and we can use Facebook ads library to spy on competitors.
so I don’t hope you’ve been paying attention but Facebook got into a little hot water a few years back.
so as a result of that they’ve had to add a page transparency section to every Facebook business page.
but the good news is this lets you get a little window into what adds that certain businesses or pages are currently running.
the other interesting thing here is you can see when the ads were started.
so if the ads have been running a long time that can be a really strong indication of how successful the ads are.
because generally if an ad isn’t working we’re gonna pull it pretty quickly.
so this will actually help you identify what your competitors best-performing headlines and images are.
and this is basically going to kind of let you into their marketing funnel.
where you’ll be able to see their front end cold traffic offers retargeting offers and the offers that they show later inside of their funnel.
which can be some of the best advertising opportunities for you and your business.
one really important thing to remember though is that you never ever want to copy your competitors ads or use their ads directly for your campaign.
you probably know that just use these to get ideas from it and then create unique content of your own.
think of what can work even better for your campaign.
What is click to messenger ads?
all right next we have creating interactive click to messenger Facebook ads.
now click to messenger ads are going to be your new marketing secret weapon in this year.
and this is because they get customers to engage with your business.
which is awesome right you know these are one of the most engaging cost effective and powerful Facebook ad formats available right now.
click to messenger ads can be in the form of videos still images or carousel ads.
now if you want to use messenger ads make sure to include a scripted automated message using a chat bot.
so the users will receive a greeting immediately after they click on your ad.
and arrive in that messenger a conversation because you know at the end of the day customer service is key when it comes to customer retention.
so you want to be prepared to respond to those inquiries right away.
business pages running click to messenger Facebook ads to see a better ROI than traditional Facebook ads.
so why are they performing better you know that’s just because these ads take people to pre-scripted conversations with your Facebook page.
and then these conversations can be about anything you know.
for example it can be about helping your customer find the right service for them just educating them on an aspect of your of what you offer we’re answering pricing questions or any FAQ s.
also they’re interactive you know so instead of clicking on an ad and being taken to a landing page customers get to interact with you and your business.
even if it’s just a bot to start with.
stats do show that 90% of customers want to communicate with brands over messaging before email.
Now let’ talk about 👇
What is sponsored messaging re-marketing?
ads as well and when we say re-marketing this basically involves.
targeting customers who have already viewed something on your site or demonstrated an interest in your products.
and this really lets you reengage people who might have been browsing pages on your website.
but didn’t follow through with a conversion.
but how cool would it be if you could do this on your facebook messenger ads.
well lucky for you Facebook has actually made it possible.
and the new features called sponsored message remarketing ads.
this feature just allows you to restart conversations with those you previously have messaged before.
you know you can deliver these highly targeted ad types in messenger to existing conversations.
either through messenger or chat support that has been active in the last six months.
sponsored messages can include updates reminders promotions deals and special offers.
when you use this feature you can choose to target all open conversations.
or you can create a new custom audience all sponsored message are charged per impression.
So what that means is Facebook is Going to charge every time a customer sees the message in their messenger inbox 🤔
But don’t worry it’s not going to charge you over and over again.
If the same person views it more than once.
What is narrow audience?
Next I love this one it’s narrowing audiences with engaged shoppers.
so let’s say you’re just starting out and you’re ready to get into Facebook ads.
but you still haven’t gathered enough data to really be targeting the right people.
and you’re not sure which audience you should even target in the first place.
what you can do to still target the right people.
without all that data is to simply narrow your audiences.
so let’s say you’re a book keeper and you want to target people who are interested in small business topics.
so what you can do is put small business as one of your interest targets and then hit the narrow audience button.
and that’s where you’ll add the magic ingredient which is putting in engaged shoppers when you do this you’re not just targeting everyone who’s interested in small business.
but you’ll also be targeting people who have a history of clicking on Facebook ads and converting from them.
the only problem with this is if you want to call it a problem is that this is going to be a much higher quality audience.
because these people are much more likely to buy from you.
so Facebook is going to charge you quite a lot more for showing your ads to these types of audiences.
but it’s a great little hack to get you started in the right direction.
so you can start selling and start to get a much clearer picture of your ideal customer.
What is ad grid method?
next another one it’s called the ad grid method.
so testing your ads is really key to see what’s going to perform best for you.
but the problem with testing is that a lot of people do test their ads.
but what they test is just kind of minor language tweaks to the same overall message.
what you should be doing instead is testing different hooks or messages as well as different possible audiences.
This might entice different people because everyone has different things.
that are going to be most interesting to them right.
so to get you going with this you start off with the ideal customer avatars.
which are your different target audiences and then you won’t to follow that with the hooks.
which are the marketing messages you want to test.
why that makes people won’t to take you up on your offer.
I’m sure would help to hear an example here.
so let’s say you’re running an ad to your lead magnet which is the ultimate SAT prep starter kit.
You know one hook might be all about how it can dramatically raise your SAT score.
another might be how easy it makes the
studying process.
and still another might emphasize how important SAT scores are to college admissions.
now those are all different hooks or messages and you may find that one works best across the board.
or that different hooks work better with different audiences.
so to keep up with this example may be up to different audiences one being the test takers themselves.
you know the high school students and the other being their parents.
when you test running ads with this ad grid method it’s going to help you quickly figure out which hooks and avatar combinations are winners.
this won’t leave you hanging and guessing on what to do and how to execute your marketing campaigns.
and you’ll also know which hooks just aren’t working.
because there’s always going to be a few that don’t.
so you can just quickly shut off those ads and we’ll importantly this eliminates that long trial and error process letting.
you save money time and effort alright.
What is scroll Stoppers?
next this is very important we have scroll Stoppers.
so I want you to think about when you’re scrolling through your own Facebook newsfeed there’s a lot of content in there.
from a lot of people some of it’s stuff that you don’t even bother to look at or even read.
but there’s probably a point in your scroll when you stop at something and the first thing that comes to your mind is wait what what is that.
you have something that grabs your attention maybe because of the photo or the video or maybe it’s the headline wording to jumped out at you.
these are all examples of what we call scroll Stoppers.
and it’s the goal of all Facebook advertisers to make you stop Scrolling.
and to get your attention and
his is what I want you to practice.
whenever you create an ad whether it’s a photo add a video or a story ad.
the best thing you can do here is start making a swipe file of just every ad you see.
that makes you stop and take notice.
so what you do is when this happens just take a screenshot of it and either put them all in a folder or in a document that you can go to for inspiration.
whenever it’s time to plan out your own app.
again we’re not stealing here we’re just getting inspired.
and up till now I’ve been talking all about the newer trends that are working right now in Facebook Ads.
