Want to know why you should be using Facebook Ads? Read on…
Why? Because Facebook knows more about the interests, behaviours and preferences of people – YOUR target customers – than any other platform. Yes, even more than Google.
Using Facebook’s enormous stash of customer data you can reach the precise audience of people who will want to buy your product, sign-up for your service or donate to your cause. And much, much more.
Facebook ads vs Facebook organic posts
Many businesses and organisations have a Facebook Page. That’s great! But if all you do is publish posts to your Fans you’re really missing out.
Put simply, if you only publish organic Facebook posts on your Page you’re likely WASTING YOUR TIME.
Did you know Facebook only shows your posts to a tiny fraction of your fans? Typically 5% or less (sometimes a lot less).
So if you’ve spent a few hours writing a blog post which you share on Facebook don’t be disappointed when no-one shows up to read it.
If you’re running an offer, launching a product, or asking your fans to take action on your Facebook Page, don’t be upset when no-one notices it.
No-one is searching for you on Facebook. You have to cut-through the ‘noise’ and the only way to guarantee that is to PAY.
The solution – Facebook Ads!
Facebook is no longer interested in promoting your business for free. You have to pay, just like with almost every marketing channel – whether that’s online or offline. Ever heard of free TV ads? Nor us.
Do Facebook Ads actually work?
Absolutely! Here are some of the successes some clients have achieved with our help:
- Our financial services client shared tons of great content on their Facebook Page, but was struggling to drive any sales from it. We designed a Facebook Ads ‘funnel’ approach to nurture their prospects from initial interest to raving customers.
- We helped a niche training business extend their reach and engagement with content they were posting on Facebook. We helped them use Facebook Ads to generate new leads and drive repeat sales.
- An AIM-listed technology company wanted to raise awareness and build a following for their new consumer electronic product launch. We used a combination of Facebook Ad types with dramatic results – almost overnight!
- We trained a PR agency how to optimise ad targeting for a well-known furniture brand client to ensure their lovingly-crafted content was actually being seen by the exact people they wanted to reach.
Repeatable and measurable results
The above examples are not isolated cases; Facebook Ads work for almost every type of business. Yes, even B2B businesses! Once you’ve figured out how Facebook Ads can work for your business, you’ll turn every £1 (or $1 or 1€) of ad spend into a specific, measurable outcome – such as a purchase or a lead. This is genuine social media ROI – Return On Investment – and once you’ve got the Facebook Ads ‘machine’ working optimally you can simply crank up the ad spend and you’ll see direct increased results.
I hear you! How do I start?
Three options.
- DIY – just have a go on your own
We’re not going to lie, for the uninitiated this is hard work. Be prepared to put in hours of setup, testing and a decent budget for your ad spend. But it’s entirely feasible and everyone has to start somewhere (even we started out as Facebook Ads novices 8 years ago). We’ve outlined the key aspects to consider at the end of this page and we regularly offer useful tips on our blog and email newsletter.
