Facebook Paid Advertising: Strategies That Drive Conversions
When choosing Overdrive as your partner for Facebook paid advertising, you’ll benefit from the vast experience and deep expertise of our social media team. Here are a sample of the strategies we often recommend for clients seeking to increase impressions, clicks, and conversions.
- Target wisely. Facebook paid advertising let you get incredibly granular with targeting, and taking advantage of this capability is critical to minimizing your cost per click. If your targeting is too broad and not well optimized, you’re wasting valuable ad dollars. Facebook Custom Audiences and Lookalike Audiences provide unique opportunities to reach the people most likely to click and convert.
- Entertain your audience. Creativity is a premium in Facebook paid advertising, as users come to Facebook to be entertained and diverted. The ads and content that go viral rarely follow a by-the-book formula for copy and visuals.
- Say it with video. Video rules Facebook, and using video in your ads can help to markedly spike clicks and conversions. Uploading video directly to Facebook (rather than using YouTube links) will result in higher levels of engagement.
- Test and test again. To increase conversion optimization and maximize the effectiveness of your Facebook paid advertising campaigns, you’ll want to test everything from copy and images to CTAs and URLs.
- Remarket to reconnect. Facebook remarketing has proven highly effective at reconnecting with prospects who have already shown some level of interest or interaction.
