You can also promote, Events, Apps, and other destination on Facebook, (brand page)Seeing that a friend has LIKED something is enticing me to click and look
Tips⢠The most effective ad campaigns focus on just one goal at a time.⢠For example, to encourage people to visit your store during a one day promotion for half-price pizzas, you would create an event ad, highlighting the date, time and location.⢠To increase phone calls to your store you would create an ad including your phone number, encouraging users to call your store now.
Use Facebook Insights to see current users age and locationFor example, letâs say you own a pizza restaurant. Your customers fall into 3 main groups:⢠College students studying⢠Busy families in the local area⢠Bargain diners who look for special offersYou could create three different ads, each with slightly different goals, to target each of these groups. You will start to learn what images and ad text work best for each customer group.
⢠Your ad is made up of a title, ad body text and image. Youâll also need to specify a destination URL (web address) that you want people to go to when they click on your ad.⢠When your destination URL leads users to your Page, Event or Application, your ad title will be the name of your Page, Event or Application. âLikeâ will also appear in an ad leading to a Page, and RSVP will appear in an Event ad.
Ad Title âIf you are directing users to your website, use the 25 CharactersAd Body Text â In 135 characters or less, describe the benefits of your product or service. If you wantpeople to click through your ad to take specific action, be sure to call that out with simple, activelanguage like âLearn more nowâ or âLike us now to receive special offersâImage â The most successful ads on Facebook include images that are clear, easy to spot and directlyrelated to the content of your ad
What do you want to advertise? URLs, e.g. nytimes.comPages, e.g. CosmicApplicationsEvents, e.g. Come and say 'hello' at the...Places, e.g. Stags Estate AgencyDomainsFacebook URLs, e.g. facebook.com/cosmicuk
Facebook allows Sniper Precision targeting rather than the blanket bombing of say a newspaper ad.You can reach people based on their:⢠Location â by city, town, village, county, or country⢠Demographics â by age range, gender, language, relationship status⢠Likes and interests â what are your customersâ hobbies or passions?Unlike search advertising where you target the words people search for, on Facebook you can target people bytheir interests. Focus on topics and themes rather than individual terms. For example, if you are targetingstudents, think about the interests of those students. Is there a particular tv program that your target audienceare likely to be interested in? If so, you could use this tv program in your likes and interests targeting alongwith more pizza specific themes,âeating out with friendsâ, âtakeoutsâ, âitalian pizzaâ.⢠Education and work â you can direct your campaign to students in a specific university or people with a particular level of education
