I’m sure you’ve seen those Facebook ads that are just so well done, and you think, “How do they make their ads look so good?” Well, we are here to teach you how to create a converting Facebook ad of your own. It’s not as difficult as it may seem – just follow these simple tips, and you’ll be on your way to creating beautiful and effective ads in no time! Let’s get started.
Good CTA = A Clear Action + Simplicity
Most funnels have four or five steps, depending on what funnel you pick. AIDA, for example.
- Attention
- Interest
- Desire
- Action
If you simplify these steps, even more, you end up with two types of campaigns.
- Brand awareness campaigns (Attention, Interest, Desire)
- Direct response campaigns (Action)
For this blog, we will focus on these two steps.
Never create an advertisement focussing on all of these steps. But instead, create one per stage. If you focus on all these stages at once, you will most likely create confusion, resulting in a less powerful message.
Too often, marketers try to accomplish too much with a single campaign. They want to raise brand awareness and drive immediate sales, but the campaign will likely fall flat without a clear focus.
It’s essential to understand the difference between brand awareness and direct response and to tailor your campaigns accordingly. Brand awareness campaigns should focus on content consumption, with CTAs encouraging users to follow your page or subscribe for more content.
Direct response ads should answer common buying objections rather than trying to engage or entertain. By understanding the role of each type of campaign, you can create more effective marketing that delivers results over the long term.
When it comes to online marketing, it’s important to understand the different types of call-to-actions (CTAs) and how they can impact your business. The four main types of CTAs are awareness, conversation, intent, and conversion. Each one focus on a different stage in the buyer’s journey.
For awareness CTAs, the goal is to get people to notice your brand. Awareness can accomplish this by boosting followers, getting people to read your content, or subscribing to your email list.
Conversation CTAs are all about engagement. The goal here is to get people talking about your brand. This can be done by increasing shares, generating comments and tags, or getting positive mentions.
Intent CTAs focus on getting people to take the next step in their buyer’s journey. This could involve clicking “learn more” or downloading something from your site.
Finally, conversion CTAs are designed to impact your bottom line directly. These actions should lead directly to revenue, such as adding items to a cart, requesting a sales demo, downloading an app, or signing up for a subscription product.
By understanding the different types of CTAs and what they’re designed to accomplish, you can create more effective marketing campaigns that drive real results for your business.
Targeting that you can keep refining.
There are a few important considerations when targeting the appropriate audience on Facebook. Before anything else, it’s critical to consider your target audience and their interests.
As soon as you fully comprehend this, you may begin to focus your Facebook search. Facebook also provides Lookalike audiences, which are collections of people with similar interests to your current consumers.
This may be a very effective strategy to broaden your customer base. Last but not least, try out various audiences over time once you find one that works effectively for your company. With a little trial and error, you’ll be able to find the perfect group of people to target with your Facebook ads.
Write a clear headline, And Use an image that works well with it.
Facebook rookie advertisers frequently make the same error. There is no creative tension between the headline and the image.
Here is a rule of thumb for better art direction. Make the graphic playful if the copy is literal. Make the copy playful if the graphic is literal. As a result, the art and copy are in contrast with one another.
Use the description area to remove friction for your CTA.
Asking people to take action can be a difficult sell, even if you’re offering something valuable like a free report. After all, there’s always the chance that the customer will feel like they’re being asked to part with something precious (like their time or contact information) without getting anything in return.
This is where a well-crafted Facebook ad can make all the difference. By anticipating common buying objections and addressing them head-on in the ad copy, you can give potential customers the reassurance they need to take that next step.
For example, if your CTA is “Download your report,” you might address the objection “I don’t have time to read another report” by promising that your report is short and to the point. By taking the time to overcome buyer anxiety, you’ll be more likely to convert leads into customers.
